Hello, sorry for not writing too much last week.  this week 
has been an exciting one.  We had a particular great miracle 
in a family.  We were walking around one night going to an 
appointment while working with 2 members.  Ayen, one of 
the members (20yrold preparing for a mission) waved at
 some girl at some house and so I grabbed him, and was
 like.  Let's go talk to them.  We go up and introduce 
ourselves then suddenly her dad pulls in on his motorcycle. 
 So, we change the focus on him.  And, he is super nice 
and we gave him a pamphlet and he said we could come 
back on Saturday afternoon. Saying that so that we could 
teach the whole family.  So, very good timing with catching 
dad.  We came back on Saturday (ayen wasn't with us, he 
was busy)  and they let us into their house and the whole 
family came down and listened.  Dad, mom, a 20yrold and 
16 daughter and grandma and grandpa.  None of them were
 too familiar with the church, they are catholics so, they were questioning what was different with our religion.  When we 
were teaching families and being together in the temple, the 
grandpa totally came up right next to me (before he was 
kinda hidding in the back) and was real interested.  It was 
a awesome moment cuz the family is just so awesome so 
pray that they'll be receptive to the Gospel.  Then the 
16yrold, friend of ayen asked if she could come to church 
and yah, she came to church.  I think she enjoyed it too cuz 
when she came in some ym member came up and gave her 
a big hug and pulled her into sacrament. 

The sisters in my district have a person ready for baptism 
but, he's not married yet but, he qualifies for 'law of 
cohabitaion'.  So, that means, not just me but President
 Alder needs to interview him.  And since the person isn't
 too good at english I was a translator.  President came 
down to pasig and basically I interviewed him while 
President sat there.  then, at the end, I gave a summary 
to President of everything he said.  Then President would 
say a line, and I would translate then the person getting 
interviewed would say something and I would have to
 translate and this went on for a little bit.  President asking 
questions and testifying.  funny little moment

ummm, we also had interviews this week with President.  
They were good.  A little weird cuz he doesn't know us yet.  
He asked me if I was obedient and I was just like...yah, I 
think so.  but he's rlly awesome.  giving me some nice 
motivation

anyway...little report there
loving the area and loving my happy companion, I better 
stay here for another transfer
Pray for Nanay Beth and her oldest daughter, Monica.  Who
 is coming to church with her kids but, he 'partner' does 
not like us and they aren't married yet.  and the new family
thanks, love
Elder 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...
