so I am in a crazy place right now, I got transfered.  I was supposed to leave thursday but Pres. called tuesday morning and said I was getting picked up later so, no email.  I'm in Quezon City, Baesa.  My companion is Elder Wood.  He is my batch except he visa waited for 2 transfers instead of 1.  So it's pretty crazy.  The city is so ugly.  He doesn't track at all.  Apperently it's all off of referals but, I'm gonna make us find.  Cuz that's how you really can get work done.  The city....it's not very pretty, it is but it's not too.  Right now I have 10 boys reading my email and breathing on my shoulder while I try to type this so it will be funny if they understand this part.  I would have been very upset if I didn't leave but it's so hard to leave to. I had 3 young girls leave notes for my (some of them I don't even know) and they all confessed how they "loved me".  It's kinda crazy now, I'm excited for the Tagalog challenge.  I don't wanna take long now so...I'll just email more next week.
Villaluna twins got baptized and their testimonies was one of the strongest spiritual exprientce I have seen.  
Nice little picture with my good roomate


sorry, I cant stand these kids anymore.  Having mcdonalds avaliable to me is not worth it being here..   haha next week.
Love you lots



I'm going to....Quezon City, Baesa.  With Elder Wood as my companion. Very unexpected because Elder Wood is not only American but he is my batch.  But he visa waited for 2 transfers.  I'm so happy to be companions with him.  and yes, super sad to leave my home town and go to the city.  City city.  
Last Sunday, still in Mamburao we went down to San Jose for District Conference.  So that means we woke up at 2 and drove in one giant, smushed jeep with our branch to San Jose then returned by 6 30. I was supposed to have p-day on tuesday then leave on Thursday and possibly Wednesday but, Tuesday morning I got a call said I was about to get picked up and soon after, I arrived in Baesa (my new area ) very late at night.  (I traveled by van and boat).  I am happy and sad to leave and come to a new area.  It is not very cool that I'm in city, but it's still the Philippines and it's still beautiful.  And I am experiencing all new sorts of experiences.

Thanks Elder Soulier

The Villaluna sister were baptized before I left and I am very blessed to not have missed that event.

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...
