Week 4 "Getting Closer"

Another week in the MTC, I'm more than halfway through this experience. The older missionaries in our zone left for the Philippines but most of them did get reassigned shortly to a different mission. It was sad to say goodbye, they all were great examples for the short 3 weeks we had together. But, we got new missionaries very quickly. Everyday I'm learning more Tagalog so I am progressing in the language. I'm not getting the best food or most sleep but somehow I'm still always awake for class. I learn so many new things everyday and I'm grateful for how much I am able to feel the spirit.

Thanks

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...

Go Baptize!
