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't wanna miss time for 
appointments but, we know our members will get a bit mad if we don't come.  So, we visit 
someone we are teaching (a guy we found last week and came to church but  yes, is not 
married) and we taught him and 5 then invited and took him to the baptism at 6.  The 
thing is at 5 also, the husband of the mission nurse called us and said they would be 
taking our roommates to the hospital and they wanted us to come with.  I told him we had 
set appointments at 6 and 7.  He asked if we could be at our house at 8 so he could pick 
us up.  I said yes.   soo we taught this guy and brought him to the baptism but elder 
schmutz came late, past 6:30.  So that's when the baptism started.  As we were walking 
from the sacrament room to the font I said hi again to elder schmutz, someone I just saw
 yesterday.  He told me that this member family has apparently brought a non member 
friend.  So after the ordinance we went found and talked to this lady.  She was super nice, 
saying she was shy being at our church for the first time w/ her 2 kids.  We asked when 
we could visit her.  She said, anyday at 4 pm.  soo I asked if we could come sunday so 
that her husband could also be home and she said yes.    sooo that was rlly cool cuz that
 would'nt have happened if one of the people that we are teaching didn't come w/ us to 
the baptism.  After talking w/ her we left early w/out saying goodbye to Elder Shmutz and 
we ran to our next appointment.   the next appointment was a return appointment with this 
family that we just found. It turns out they actually thought we would be not coming until 
next friday but we taught and they totally committed to come to church even tho this last
 week was stake conference and the stake chapel is far away.  Then, we ran home 
(all of this is rlly running).
Elder Healy, the senior couple was at our house and took us to the hospital.  He told us 
that ealier, he called the ap's and asked what he should do about us having appointments 
at 6 and 7 and apparently they told him to just pick us up anyway, and just have us miss
 our appointments but, elder healy decided to not do that.   haha, we appreciated that a lot.  


btw.   that appointment on sunday w/ that sister that came to the baptism, she was out 
shopping when we went to her house and she said that they'll be going on vacation soon
 to their province so she doesn't know when they are coming back and the other family 
didn't come to church but...we have a return appointment w/ them and we will be following 
up with that but neverless, very exciting


Love, 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 ...

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...
