July 2

Okay!! So what happened this week? Good question.


Sister Uttamakul and I decided to go tracting! Oh boy. Haven't done that much in my mission! It was actually raining and we had scarfs and coats (June? You mean November?). We reacted from 4-5 and guess when we first found someone. 4:50. Our first gospel conversation wahoo!!! YES found a polish family sweet. Talked for a bit and then left. Well it was 4:58 which equals perfect time for a miracle. We knocked on one door, not interested. 4:59 here the miracle comes!!!! (This is actually real timing btw. And yes I would suggest to try this on missions). We knocked on one last door and Leanne opened. She was really sweet. A young mom with two boys jumping around her. She couldn't talk then but agreed for us to come back again.

We came back and got to know her. She is married (yayay) and has got 5 and 3 yr old boys. She has no religious background and doesn't believe in God. But is open. We have seen her a coupe, of times since and just finished teaching her about the restoration of the gospel. It's all so new for her but she is willing to try and when she sees the difference, be baptised on August 13th! Yay!

K then we got Aaron and another Aaron. Both Aaron's to be baptised August 13th. And we need to teach both of them the Word of Wisdom. (They don't know each other just happen to have the same names. That sure confused our district leader).


Sister Uttamakul is rocking it!!! She is able to speak and share her testimony in lessons. But she does it all by the spirit. I remember one lesson she didn't say anything and afterward I asked her about it and she said, well I didn't feel the spirit so I didn't know what to say. I was like oh. Yah that's not good. So now we focus a ton on spiritual lessons which I LOVE! It is really neat. She is teaching me a lot.

Other than that life is good. It's cold in England but we had two sunny days and that was heavenly. Also an elderly man kissed both of our hands while we were finding. Poor sister Uttamakul was so disturbed. Oh that craziness of mission life.

Alrighty I apologise for the shortness. And not even that many jokes! Next week will be better for sure. (For you missionaries it's like when you do a gap that is struggling so hard that your commitment is for the investigator to let you teach the gap again lol) (gap is a role play btw)

PICTURE TIME!!

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...
