Good evening :)

Crazy crazy week as always.  Not sure where to start and where to end.

Unfortunately Mark's baptism had to be postponed.  He is still coming to church and loves learning and wants to get baptized.  A concern came up and his baptism needed to be postponed.  We also passed him to the elders to continue to get ready for his baptism.  I'll keep you posted.  

Eline is doing so fantastically well.  She accepted the word of wisdom no problem and continues to prepare for baptism on December 11th!  She is very prepared.

Our other prepared favorite investigator, Jane Susan.  Pretty sure I already told you all about her.  Hopefully.  Her sister and niece recently got baptized in Gorelston (by Norwich) and told Jane about how they love the church, so now Jane wants to learn.  She was a referral from the Stratford ward.  She is so prepared it is so great teaching her.  Appointments last precisely 45 minutes and you don't have to pull any teeth to get her baptized!  She came to church with her 7 year old son Nathan last Sunday.  A member from Ilford took her.  I think she really enjoyed it.  She is likewise preparing for December 11th as baptism.  We went to her house this week and she was babysitting a little 5 year old girl.  Her name is Michelle.  At the beginning of our lesson, we asked Michelle to say the prayer--which she agreed to.  She stood in front of us, crossed her little arms and bowed her head, tightly closing her eyes.  We waited for her to start.  And then waited some more.  I didn't know what to do.  My companion didn't know what to do.  In my head I figured it was fine because Heavenly Father will count her prayer.  Eventually Michelle looked up again and Jane asked her if she was going to start praying.  Michelle replied, "I did!  In my head!"  "Well, what did you pray for?"  "I prayed for toys!" "That's good Michelle.  Did you pray for us?"  "No.  I only prayed for toys.  That's the only thing I need."  Yes that prayer does count just fine.  She is adorable.

Yeah Jane Susan is great!  She is from Kenya and has lived here for the past 20 years.  She believes in God and went to church and prayed and did all of those things, but felt like something was missing in her life.  Although she did those things, she didn't feel close to God.  We are so excited for her to learn more about the Book of Mormon. 

Jane Susan and Eline both read the Book of Mormon and the Spirit is just so strong in both of their homes.  Oh I love them dearly.


Let's see other people I love.  Sister Matthews!  She is fantastic and I pray every day that we can stay together.  I am just hanging out with my best friend every day. She is so much fun.


I think that is everything I can think of right now.  I'll attach pictures.
 LOVE YOU!
Sister Soulier

Soulier Mom and Dad called

 Oct 7, 2023 What a crazy morning.  Jason had his first big presentation with his new job, and on the second slide into it, sees a call come in with the voicemail transcribing, "Elder Gong would like to meet with you."  Of course he loses all concentration, someone gets through the call, then finds me and tells me what happened.  Before we can call back, we leave for the airport for a long awaited trip to Beritz, a town in France on the beach.  While there, we zoom with Elder Gong.  "Have you committed any felonies?  Is there anything to prevent you financially from a calling?"  Stuff like that.  Maybe 20 minutes long.  We hung up, amazed to have talked with an apostle.  Our world was definitely taking an unexpected turn.  I even got a call later that day saying my dream position at Skyline was open if I wanted the job.  We come home, and a week before Thanksgiving, get a call from Pres. Oaks office that he'd like to meet ...

Jacob Soulier   To: Jason Soulier , Jennifer Soulier , Annie Soulier , Sarah Soulier Sep 15 at 10:36 PM So, last friday after our morning pray our roommates still were not getting out of bed  but we continued on and plan and got out at 10 and just left them.   We came back and  ate at the house and they were still not having a good time so before we left we took their  temperatures and tried to find them the right medicine.   We texted our mission nurse and  got out to our appointments.  As we are out the mission nurse is calling us saying that  prbly, we shouldn't just leave 2 sick elders alone at the house.  But, we were like...well  we have appointments.  so we just continued on.  Our ward had a baptism that night at  6 and Elder Schmutz, since he is super nice and knows the family apparently, would be  coming.  So, we didn't wanna go to the baptism cuz we don...

MLC The definition of a mormon is one going to, coming to, and sitting in meetings... I think Elder Holland said that. Could be wrong. But it perfectly describes the past week! Meetings upon meetings. Hello family!!! Man I was thinking of you all a lot. Yesterday we went to bishop's house for dinner. They are American and have 4 blonde girls. Sarah and Lily's age. It almost felt like I was with all of you! And I know there are even more birthdays now, so happy birthday Mom!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy happy birthday from all of us to you, we wish you happy birthday.....(I think I'm gonna finally send my letter today so look for it in The next couple of weeks) MLC was great. Elder Phillips came and spoke. Everything he spoke about was focusing on the Savior and loving people one by one. He said programs and plans are great and all, but the best thing you can do is take a piece of paper write down a list of names and love one at a time. He said the...
