Hey, happy father's day.  I missed dad complaining how
 fathers day is just a day used to chastise them.  About 
the farewell of president koster, I forget to ask him cuz 
we saw him when we had districtleader training but, I 
asked one of the senior couples as we were trying to leave 
and she pulled it on fb.  They have a farewell in California 
but, it looks like they'll have one in Utah also.  Under Utah 
details it just said, tbt.   But, just like up david koster on 
facebook and you'll find it.   When we saw President he 
talked a little more about this mid transfer and elder lawrence
 got excited cuz he said how 'some of you still have a chance
 to go to mindoro'.  And when President first saw us he was 
like 'wow, you guys have been together forever huh'  then 
later he told me 'yo, Pateros 2nd (my area) has suddenly 
been doing really good with monthly baptisms (before Elder 
Lawrence got here, it was a pretty dead area, but he picked 
it up, found a bunch of new people and we have just been 
keeping it up and progressing)  and that president was 
proud that we just had 2 baptisms that last Saturday.  But, 
he also explained how he was going to transfer my 
companion but, since we were doing so good, he just had 
to keep us together (if you remember last transfer day, 
president told us he was going to give us a call but then, 
he never did)  anyway...he said "there'll problly have to be 
some changes"    so, we are pretty convinced that my 
companion will leave before the new mission change.  ...
We'll see tho, ya never know. 

I'm loving the area tho, when I first got here, nobody worked
 with us, even on Sundays but, this last week we've been 
having people work with us everyday.  It's rlly just a problm 
with not having priesthood.  Sisters always are there 
wanting to work.  When I came in, the guy worker got 
married so we lost him but, ayen, a 20yrold has decided 
that he's gonna prepare for a mission and it's been a lot of 
fun having workers again.  Ayen honestly, has been getting
 ready for his mission for a while but, we have finally gotten
 close and the members enjoy us.  Of course too, if we have 
more members, we get feed more.  So after not getting too 
many meals for a while, we are now getting it every night.   

love you lots

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...
