April 24

Wow I just love all of you and thank you for joining on this week's episode.  It's an exciting one!!

So this never happened before...

Monday we got a text from an unknown number.  Basically it said, "Hi my name is Tory.  I got your number from one of your members (Amy).  I was wondering if you could teach me more about the church."

Uhhhhhhhh.  okay!

*set up an appointment with her on Tuesday* *come to the appointment with the lovely Sister Chiping cuz we were on an exchange*

*Tory comes inside*

Tory: "Hey is it okay if my LDS father skypes in with us?"

Uhhhhhhhhh.  okay!

Greg Tory's 'father': "Hi Sisters!  My name is Greg and I live in Atlanta, Georgia.  Tory is my daughter in every way except by blood.  She means a lot to me.  A few weeks ago she and I began talking about the gospel of Jesus Christ and Tory loved it a lot.  She had a lot of spiritual experiences that touched her.  She now wants to be baptized.  She will be coming to Georgia on May 18th and wants to be baptized that weekend.  Can you prepare her for that date?"

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. okay!

So this never happened before!  

My goodness she is so amazing let me tell ya.  Today we taught her the first half of the plan of salvation.  Wowza it was spectacular.  (not our teaching but her reception).  We shared Romans 8:16-17.  She asked us, "So what does it mean to you that you can inherit what God has?"  Uhhhhh.  That's a good question.  (look at her teaching with inspired questions). She asked a question toward the end of the lesson.  She said, "Why did Jesus have to die on the cross for us?" (wow um that is a very good question).  We tried explaining it to her, using the right scriptures, the right questions, and testimonies, but for some reason we couldn't explain it right and none of the right words were coming out.  And then she said, "Wait wait.  I get it."  (I'm like, really?  Cuz there's no way I would understand with what we just said)  She said, "I just got a super strong feeling that He was supposed to die on the cross.  And this is why..."  To which she proceeds to explain the Atonement.  I'm like, did you read Alma 42????  and then, Thank you so much Heavenly Father!!!!!!!!!!!  The Spirit is the teacher.  THE SPIRIT IS THE TEACHER!  It was such an incredible moment I wish I could describe it better.  You could just see the spirit teaching her.  Leading her one step at a time.  So amazing.  

So yeah.  It's been a good week. :)

Nora came to stake conference!!!  Woot woot!  She is doing fantastically.  She read the tree of life in the Book of Mormon which was perfect for her because she is in a big mist of darkness right now.  She is doing great.  Pray for her to get an answer that this is true!!  Thanks.  I mean cheers :)

Had an exchange with Sister Murakane (from Hawaii) and Sister Chiping (from Malaysia).  We had sooooo much fun.  We played the whipped cream game.  You know the one where the driveway gets stained :)  and Sister Thomas screams with laughter?  haha yeah that one.  

Also had an exchange with Sister Irobeni (from Solomon Islands) and Sister Nyaketcho (from Uganda).  Those are two angels right there.  I went with Sister Irobeni and has testimony was a straight up rocket.  (not sure what that analogy means but it was really good) 

Stake Conference was so great.  Elder Adler spoke and rebuked the entire stake.  He went through every single group of people and said, you need to read the book of mormon today and every day!  The prophet has commanded us to and that is what we will do!  Yes he is German.  Absolutely loved it.  One of our friends Daryl was there with his girlfriend too.  It was a perfect speech for him because he needs to realize what he is missing out on.  He is the one who pulled a triple combination when we met him. I think he is just scared to commit.  It is a big change.  We are going to do our best to find his concern.

Super weird with Anderson.  His shop has been closed down for three days and we don't know why.  We are in contact with him but just through text because he seems really busy and doesn't answer the phone.  He still wants to learn more just has a lot going on.  Pleasssseeeeeee pray for him.

Sorry not a ton more to update on. We have just been super busy running place to place!  Got to play Ultimate Frisbee today though and it was SO FUN!

LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!
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...
