The One Where He Ate Rat

This week's post is a group effort. I took clips from things Elder Brendan wrote to well, everyone.
So if he happens to write you- and says anything give me a holler.
You too, could be featured on this blockbuster of a blog!
Here are his words this week:

this week was good i went back to the east side for an exchange and well it was really fun we picked up some new people yesterday they seemed cool im still not quite able to teach but hopefully soon my spanish is improving though other  then that though it was a pretty regular week sorry i know you hate me cause i dont know what to tell you lol but sorry love you

Here was our little back and forth aka, where I try to drag things out of him. But first, this random picture he sent, which sparked a conversation.

Thirty pounds down and looking a bit like Jared Fogle

What is that collapsed garage you are in? And your jeans look hella baggy? Do you need new ones?

thats service we did thats all just wood we threw in a dumpster and ive lost thirty pounds

I just mailed you a case of protein bars today. ️

I need one story from you. 

Anything.

Just use some detail and walk me through something that happened this week.

Just try it for me.

of course i got one so we went to service for uncle XXX just btw hes gay im pretty sure but we get there and i helped pull a fuel pump from his van it was really fun 

Did you get the fuel pump fixed? I didn't know you knew how to do that. I thought garage time you spent with Dad was just a lot of farting around.

no it was the best time yes i got it fixed

What kinds of things do you eat at dinner appointments?

i have no clue what i eat but its good except mola

What is mola?

its chicken with chocolate its disgusting we dont have it that often just google it right now i would eat about any american food dont get me wrong hispanic food is delicious but tortillas and beans gets old lol also i ate rat the other day it tasted pretty good though

Take notice of the house number

Indianapolis, Indiana

So yeah.
I'm glad the protein bars are winging their way to Indy.
No wonder he has lost weight.
Sometimes missions in the states are every bit as foreign as the ones served outside of the country.
