Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's been a busy week here in Kouvola, and we're having fun!
Fun fact: the city does not have 134,000ish people like I assumed - that number refers to the Kouvola area. Oh darn. Neither do we have a car, we ride the buses everywhere. (And holy cow, they're hilariously scary. The buses go fast - if you're not sitting down within 5 seconds after entering the bus, the driver stomps on the gas, as if he's driving a rally car, and you're thrown halfway across the bus while the other Finns on the bus pretend like they didn't just watch you fall flat on your face at 30 miles per hour. I may or may not be joking.)

Speaking of buses, our bus cards aren't currently working. They need to be refreshed, but we have not yet received confirmation that they are working, so it's been cardio week! It's okay, I need the exercise, now that I'm not biking anymore...

Anyways, here's the weekly recording(I've tried to consolidate it to under 10 minutes), but let's go over the week:

-We talked to two hilariously drunk men. They each wanted a Book of Mormon, but remember, they were also stone drunk, so they might have woken up the next morning and wondered how these little blue books got on their desk.
-We tracted. Like, a ton. It's kind of a struggle, since there actually aren't a ton of buildings around here. Definitely more than Savonlinna, but this city's still fun!
-One of our investigators owns a Latino restaurant! (How random can you get?) We help her clean there every once in a while.

That's most of our week for ya. I've got some pictures for you, but until next time! Love you all, stay strong!
Sincerely,
Vanhin Bolingbroke
