Calvin's Thailand Mission: I got her machine! Her answering machine?

No, interestingly enough, her leaf blower picked up.

เฮลโล Hello!

Your favorite human leaf blower is back! It was a week full of service, english classes, and unanswered phone calls. Pretty basic week for a missionary nowadays, I think.

OH, YOU'RE HAVING A PAR-TYYY

A recent convert was having a little birthday party, and invited us to come! We agreed, because who can say no to free cake, right? We showed up, and wouldn't you know it, as we're putting up decorations the District Leader and his companions drop in. Cool, the more the merrier! Then while we're wrapping presents, the Zone Leaders show up! Ok, cool stuff. But now this house is getting a little crowded. Some more friends drop by. This is a full apartment, dude. Then we hear that the STL trio is on their way. Luckily, very on brand for them, they were an hour and a half late. So we were already almost done at that point. Anyways, it was awesome. The Zone Leaders took our food for us biking Elders and told us they'd drop it at our door. It wasnt there when we got home. Sus? Definitely.

RAKE ON ME RAKE ME ON

We are raking experts. We've gotten so skilled at raking up leaves, it's hard to talk about it and stay humble. But we've logged in HOURS of leave raking this week. This transfer? More than I can count! And not just because I can't count very high. But, we have an awesome friend we rake for, and he brings us Wendy's every time we go over. It's amazing.

TONIGHT, WE RIDE

And ride, and ride, and ride. My legs are gonna fall off, y'all. Benson Hill is exactly what is sounds like. Just a huge hill. My biggest problem is that my bike isnt good for downhill or uphill. And, even though everywhere we go is uphill both ways in a blizzard, whenever I go downhill, my brakes do a whole lot of nothing to slow down. It's scary stuff

And biking uphill is just a bad time, but that's not news to you. We biked so hard on Sunday, that when we got to our appointment, my entire shirt was moist. It was so gross.
