gotta say......but of a disappoint week.  The only people we seem to be excited for is the people we recently found because they haven't dissapointed us like all the other people we have found.  One family that we found that we were so excited about and have been reading a lot of the book of mormon have shown how dedicated they are to a catholic church.  Anything we now teach is just compared...Oh you believe that babys shouldnt get baptized...well our pastor says different.  
But a lot of good things too.  The way the Philippines is, filipinos don't get their patriatical blessing until their mission most of the time so this last sunday, my companion get his.  I had to sit for a bit in the church but it was still cool.   Also, I haven't wanted to focus on it but it seems, for all areas here in the city that most of the people who are baptized are kids.  So, this last Saturday we tried again to go to this one rc, that was baptized before I was here, (12yr old)  then they immediatly took us to a house of their friend and we were suddenly inside this tiny house with as many kids and babies as possible.  Then we had to teach, so we did a little object lesson.  Then, we invited them to come to church and the next day...5 of them came.  so really cool.

And the Dawa's (this missionary older couple that I've mentioned before).  The Mendoza family lives right next to them and one other room.   In that room lived Tatay Roger who was taught and baptized last year and has been coming to church since.  Just recently, he passed away.  Which was a sad moment.  And now a new person has moved into the room and the Dawa's say that they want to be taught but of course, are busy.  We haven't meet them yet but we are excited to because if you live next to the Dawa's, or a referall from them...it's so big

We did a little service activity earlier today in a different area
the pictures I know you want to see
the picture of Christ that, unexpectedly lamenated
Tatay Bernardo ( the tatay we always work with) had a birthday but...He hasn't work with us for more than a week.  His brother is really sick so he's been kinda..sad.  We actually celebrated his b-day as he went to bed early

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...
