I Can Have Ramen My Car Can't- Sister Poulton
We are pretty much out of miles so we were discussing if we should eat
out or not. We decided to go eat somewhere to not use our miles. Guess
where we went? Fiesta Vallartas. That is right, there is a break off of
the restaurant in Craig here in Delta. The one in Craig was better, but
it was still good.
This week was exciting.
Joan was able to make it to church and loved it. Mike also came it was great.
We
have been teaching this boy named William. We have been working on
prayer and he never "remembers to pray" this time though when we get
there he is just beaming. We start our lesson and he just blurts out
"guys I prayed." It was wonderful. He was so excited. He had a story
to go with it even. He said he lost his fidget spinner and decided "why
not? I will pray to find it" and later that exact same day he
found it on the driveway.
Here is the story of
the Angle Satellite man. Sister Poulton and I were teaching this man
Omar, about the Plan of Salvation. The next door neighbor was having
their satellite repaired or something. The man fixing it comes off the
roof and pokes his head around the corner and says I don't mean to
interrupt or anything but these ladies are very smart and you should
listen to what they have to say. It was great. He then hopped back on
the roof.
The crazy exciting thing that
happened though was that I skinned a rabbit. We went to do service for
this lady. She just moved and we were going to help her unpack boxes but
instead she needed help skinning the rabbits. She has rabbits that
when they get big enough she kills them for meat. It was quite
exciting.
Sister Poulton's pasta story went
something like this:
Lets say that you are going out with some friends
to get pasta. there is your best friend, the jokester, and someone you
don't really know. While at dinner you can't decide what to get and the
jokester tells you to get a pasta and the one you don't really know also
recommends it. You decide I'll try it and your best friends says he
will get some too. You get the pasta and it is probably the most
disgusting thing you have ever had. You and your best friend are
looking at each other and he offers you some water. You drink it and
the taste goes away. Lets say that you decide not to take the water and
you leave the taste in your mouth. You are kind of mad at the friends
that recommended it and you leave the taste in your mouth for days. Your
best friend is trying to offer you water but you would rather be angry
and leave the taste in your mouth. Sometimes this is us with
forgiveness. Our best friend is the Savior that just wants to help and
give us water. Sometimes we would rather leave the taste in our mouth
and not forgive. It would be so much easier if we just trusted in him
and forgave so that we could loose the bitter taste in our mouth.
Of
course it was better then that but that pretty much sums up what it was
about. Remember to always rely on Christ and he can help us through
anything and help us forgive anyone. He knows exactly how the pasta
tastes.
Have a great week
I absolutely love you stories Sister Holcomb, they make so much sense to me - which concerns me a little, but not too much! Sounds like you're being very successful and loving your mission, which is awesome. I'm not sure that I'd call 'skinning a rabbit' exciting, I don't think I could even do it, so well done you for having the courage to do so!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great missionary work - you are awesome!!
