Hi family!! (Crazy next time that will be over skype!!!)

Tuesday we had such a fun exchange with our lovely Romford sisters. I
went with Sister Cardoso! She is fantastic. We just laughed the entire
time together. I'd love being companions with her.
We also visited the local seek temple today with the Romford sisters. (Its
about two streets from our house). You have to cover your head when
you come in. There is a big room with older woman singing/chanting in
the corner that you go in to kneel down. It was super interesting.







Our ward mission leader, Brother Osaghae.  His family is just the funniest and craziest.  He can't remember our names to save his life.  Sis Daines went up to him the other day and said, "I'll give you 35£ if you can tell me my name.  He thought and thought and finally said, "Elder Daniels!"

Curtis, a recent convert


Toba, a recent convert excited to receive his endowments in a month.  Before he met the sisters, he was homeless.  He met them on a bus, decided to come to church the next day, and was baptized a month later.  Three days after his baptism he got a random phone call offering him a job and a flat.  He is so happy and in the young men presidency.

Brother Kumar, Ndaija, James, me, Sister Daines, Bobby.  James is getting baptized Jan. 8th.

Some of the Ilford ward
Muscle Mark got baptized!!

Another exchange with Sister Garcia.  She is so loving and happy.  She's excited to go baptize with her companion in Chelmsford.  

Christmas Conference!  It was the best.  We had trainings, I saw Sis Cardosa again and we hugged.  President sang and blew us all out of the water.  A former Mo Tab participant.  Two enthusiastic thumbs up. And somehow I got roped into singing with another elder.  Nothing compared to President though.

Brother Beasley.  (Best less active).  We visit him every Saturday and he takes us out to eat.  He is buying a huge Christmas dinner for us and we are spending half of next Sunday with him.  He calls me "Shoe' and Sister Daines "Law".

Sister Daines' aunt sent us presents

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...
