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

  1. 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!

    Keep up the great missionary work - you are awesome!!
