This was already Week 4 of our BookField journey, and it came with an extra spark because we finally welcomed Janek into our wild little crew. 🎉 After conquering sales school, Janek hit the field with all the eagerness of someone who’s been waiting their whole life to start an adventure. 💪 He jumped right in — approaching countless Mexican families 🇲🇽, getting to experience their warm, lively homes full of chatter, delicious smells, and kids darting everywhere. His first week has already been packed with laughs, learning curves, and stories we’ll be telling long after the summer is over.

Meanwhile, Karolina was on her own mini Mexican tour 🌶️. She met several Spanish-speaking families who welcomed her with open arms — and even shared some of their favorite Mexican candies. Only twist? They were spicy. 😅 Karolina’s face said it all. Sweet on the outside, fire on the inside… just like this crazy job. Later, she knocked on a door and was met by a guy standing there holding a live chicken 🐔. Completely deadpan, he told her,

“For roasting.”

Weird? Totally. But also the kind of moment you remember forever and text your mom about immediately.

Aleksandra had her own BookField jackpot. 🍀 She sat down with a dad who works for Celsius ⚡ (yep, the energy drink), and walked away with a huge box of cans — enough to power through the blazing afternoons or maybe sponsor a small team. Proof that sometimes knocking doors doesn’t just open conversations… it fills your trunk with enough caffeine to light up Utah.

Martynka kept stacking up her collection of American moments 🇺🇸. She picked up a cool T-shirt 👕 from a mom she visited, a little token of welcome that felt so genuine. Later, she met a mom who drives a classic yellow school bus 🚌, and naturally they had to snap some pictures inside. It was like stepping right into a movie set — pure small-town USA magic.

Margo and Alina had one of those tag-team sit-downs you talk about for weeks. They met Mike and Linda, a couple in their 80s with an absolutely mind-blowing family tree: 9 kids, 44 grandkids, and over 100 great-grandkids 🤯. The stories poured out — from raising kids to spending two years on a mission in Syria, Jordan, and Turkey 🌍. When it came time to pay, Mike quipped that he’s been poor his whole life. Margo laughed, thinking it was another of his jokes, but he went serious and said,

“Do you even know anything about the Great Depression?”

Then shuffled around the house muttering,

“Somebody stole my Depression picture!”

Iconic, hilarious, slightly bizarre — basically perfect BookField material.

Bohdan was followed by our fearless leader Oleksiy 👔, and together they had a sit-down nearly stolen by the cutest little poodle 🐩 ever. At the end, Oleksiy joked,

“We’ll give you one more set if you give us the dog.”

The mom burst out laughing and said,

“No way… but my husband might actually accept that deal!”

Because sometimes the best close is the one that ends in belly laughs (and playful pet negotiations).

Then there’s Kuba, who crammed more plot twists into his week than most people see in a year. First, he landed a $500 tip 💵 — the kind of jaw-dropping surprise that keeps you floating for days. Then he spotted his dream car 🏎️— a real Lightning McQueen lookalike, shining in a driveway and reminding him exactly why he’s working so hard: so one day he can roll up in that back home. Of course, to keep it humble, he also spent part of the day fixing a flat tire in the middle of nowhere 🚗🔧, because the BookField always finds a way to balance you out.

This week was extra special because we each dedicated it to someone we love ❤️ — family, friends, people who inspire us and keep us pushing through even the tough days.

And huge congratulations to our top champions of the week, who absolutely crushed it:

✨ Karolina

✨ Artyom

Thanks for proving once again what hustle, heart, and a whole lot of humor can achieve. Here’s to more spicy candy, weird chickens, school bus selfies, Depression jokes, poodle trades, dream cars — and memories that make every sweaty mile worth it. 🚀💛
