Dear Pops,

My week was good. Tuesday night i was falling to sleep ever so slowly and about midnight one of the assistants came into my room and started yelling about a rat in the house. Groggily i went down the stairs to the kitchen to see the other assistant ,E Clark an elder from my district in the MTC, in garment bottoms wielding a broom stick. Elder Amormino ,the brazilian assistant, said that Elder Clark jumped about a foot in the air when he saw the rat. He said it was hilarious. I believe it. Elder Clark is six foot four and a strong guy. He looked ashamed that he had jumped at the sight of a rat. But was trying to laugh it off. So we seal off the kitchen and surround the stove where the rat has ran off to. We ignite the oven and wait. All of a sudden we look under and see a tail. Armed with broomsticks we commence our attack. Out comes a six inch rat running all over the place. He tries to run up my pj pants and i start stamping frantically all the while keeping my calm so as to not bring ridicule upon my head. The rat is very fast and makes a leap of about a foot in the air aiming for the glass pane of the closed door. Smacking against the glass he scurries again but the was kicked by Amormino. He sails through the air and smacks against my hand that is resting on my thigh. Startled he falls on the ground and scurries under the fridge. With no way out we assault him with broom sticks until his death comes. 

It was a big rat. I dont know how he got into our house. He had gotten into a big bag of protein. That explains his size hahaha. I am always hot here. I will still freeze when i get home. It is ok though i bought a sweater here. It is actually a nice sweater. I got it for 20 bucks.

Good luck on your hunt
Love
