Mother's Day Phone call re-cap from Mom 10 May 2010

Kara said that she lives in the ghetto area and that they have seen shootings and hears shots all the time. While we were talking, her companion let out a scream as they caught a rat. They have about 7-10 rats running around their house. Kara said she has gotten to where they don't bother her so much, but she is tired of their poop on everything. When she emailed the day after we talked, she informed me they had caught 2 more, so a total of 3. Her land lord had set traps for them to catch them and then he comes and gets them when they are trapped. Kara said she knows that the Lord is protecting her as there is so much danger around her, but they leave her alone other than the cat calling that she gets. She is still having stomach issues and took the strongest parasite pill they had to see if that was what she had going on. But she like Kyle, said "I am so grateful I am hear and I thank the Lord for the opportunity everyday". Oh Kara has a pet duck that roams her house with the rats. One of the members in the ward gave it to her for her birthday. He brings her food each week to feed it. She said since she doesn't have floor in her place other than cement or dirt, it can't really hurt anything. She got it when it was a tiny chick and the deal is that she will give it back to the member when she gets transferred.

This is the pet duckling
