I feel bad for elder ropati but that's super cool that you 
got to meet him.  I'm very blessed to be with him for the 
time I was.  Of course, I was the best looking person there 
so I drew all sorts of people to church.  haha joke lang.  

Christmas was a lot of fun, it didn't really feel like christmans.  New Years was a lot of fun, it was crazy.  We had the light the 
world thing during the day then we had to be home at least 
before 7.  The mall there, MegaMall, is so big.  It's giant.  
President Koster stopped by and bought us krispekreme.  
We meet two older senior sisters who work as family 
history? by the temple.  1 of them is from eastmill creek.  
She is in the other stake, she said she lives right by the 
Garfs tho.  I forgot her name but she is a bunnion?  One 
of her..relatives was a councilor of grandpy when he was 
a host.  but they feed us mcdo, super nice cuz macdo is 
the place to eat out.  But at night, it was so loud.  we sleep 
out on kinda of a porch, I'll try to get a picture for next time 
and so many times a firework almost flew into our house.  
So loud.  Smoke, lights, war really.  At one point someone
 just got in their car in the 'garage' and just started honking 
the horn, they didn't stop for a while.  and everyone had 
these plastic horns that made a lot of noise.  So no sleep 
but super cool.

A family, the Lim family, was baptized (the mom and a 
daughter) before I got here but the dad, Leo, hasn't been 
baptized cuz of cigarettes but he is super awesome.  Like 
you look at him and you just thing bishop.  He's always 
been coming to church, he just got a new job after losing 
his old one.  But last week he didn't come to church cuz 
he was in the hospital and he got some sickness where if 
he has more cigarettes, he's in big trouble,    so no more 
cigarettes!  We plan on visiting him later today and 
extending a date.  
It's different the work here.  for example, we have a sister companionship in our district who is very good,  they find 
about 22 new people a week ( our area found 0 the week
 before I came but we ain't gonna hit that with us)  yet all 
of their projections are still just referrals. Which, if you 
remember about 100% of my last areas baptizms were 
oym's so it's different but luckily I've got a really good 
companion to always be with.

Love you lots
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...
