Hello, good weeks over here.  umm busy as always.  I'm enjoying working with E. Wood more.  We have been improving in a lot of ways but we still need to figure out how to really get it moving but I feel that we have been making some great progress. 
We met as a mission (not Mindoro of course) so I finally got to see my batch but I was more excited to see my 'tatay' E. Cayton, It's not long until he goes home and I will probly never get to see him again.  The new mission thing is crazy.  I think I won't have a chance to return to Mindoro again on my mission but I am excited for the new times.  I probly am going to the Antipolo mission and I am kinda hoping for that because that's province and we are getting a district from the San Pablo Mission so I have high hopes for that.  While the Quezon City Mission would be great but it's going all city, no provinces.  
I went to a buffet earlier today, vikings in SM North, a giant mall in our zone leaders area.  It was delicious and expensive.  
Yesterday, Sunday, we got up and were planning when a member called us saying we had an investigator there at church, like 2 hrs early (church starts at 10) so we hurried and finised up and got over to the church.  It is the Tunding Sora (I only know how to pronounce it) stake chapel this last sunday so we walked out and caught a jeepney.  Umm, the Area Presidency of the Philippines spoke along with E. Holland.  Supa cool.  Then after church we asked these two ward mission members if they wanted to work (usually sunday is available for them)  but they asked if we were going to eat first.  Our response was like...no cuz our house is far away and we can't buy anything.  So they dragged us and feed us at this members house. (btw the house is a 2 tiny room stacked on 2 other houses, you've got to climb up different ladders and try to talk off your shoes cuz you always take of your shoes before entering) then we got a call from this awesome super old couple, the Dawa's.  They are like 90+ but whenever we visit them tatay is reading come follow me or the book of mormon.  they said they had an investigator for us and it was a family that was taught before but moved and the missionaries were never able to find them.  It turns out that they just moved down the street! but we found them, we weren't able to teach tho because we had an appointment right now.  So next week, when we teach them I think this will be the first referral I'll have gotten.  then we went to the next appiontment, picking up the people from the member that we just ate at.  We taught and then the members wanted to visited a less active so we went there and ate then...we went home.  So these are what my days are like.  We usually get punted a lot but, with tatay, we visit a lot of inactives.

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...
