 Hello! I've got my new companion and he's awesome. 
 We went to the mission home and it's in this beautiful 
province place full of green and mountains in taytay.  
Nice to see some green again, it's been a while.  The 
batch that came in was 10 missionaries, 3 sisters and 
only 1 elder american.  (I got to see Elder Ivins)    I was 
happy to see only 1 american coming in but I was still 
worried cuz, all the trainers were americans and I was 
one of the oldest ones but, I got a filipino, and I'm super 
happy for that.  This will be some nice steps for my Tagalog, 
no roomates so just straight talalog.  it feels good.  That 
one new american is getting white washed trained in my 
district in the zl area (they are getting added to the zl's, they 
have hopes of eventually splitting the stake) with another 
american who's still realtivly new in the mission.  Which area
 is very big but, few investigators and currently low support 
of members so they got some nice trials ahead of them.  
The district is kinda big now with 5 companionship.
This transfer I can tell is gonna be full of stress.  I do hope 
I stay here for 4 transfers even if I have to deal with that 
stress.  I love the members, my companion and I'm excited 
for new progressing people.  It's just hard.  but, I've already
 committed myself to not slow down.  keep being an example
 for my new companion, for the future of this new mission.   
 Having success for the ward, while finding someone new 
with my new companion and having them get baptized.  
That first step felt great and helped my, when I was there
 when I was there when we found the person then, I saw 
them get baptized.  That's when you rlly feel that you've 
helped someone.  But, our area is small so it's just having 
that ump that even tho I've walked that street a thousand 
times before, still believing that we can find some new there. 
 I just think of when I was in america of when we literally 
knocked on every door.  

anywayyss I'm gonna get going
love 
Elder Soulier

Good evening :) Crazy crazy week as always.  Not sure where to start and where to end. Unfortunately Mark's baptism had to be postponed.  He is still coming to church and loves learning and wants to get baptized.  A concern came up and his baptism needed to be postponed.  We also passed him to the elders to continue to get ready for his baptism.  I'll keep you posted.   Eline is doing so fantastically well.  She accepted the word of wisdom no problem and continues to prepare for baptism on December 11th!  She is very prepared. Our other prepared favorite investigator, Jane Susan.  Pretty sure I already told you all about her.  Hopefully.  Her sister and niece recently got baptized in Gorelston (by Norwich) and told Jane about how they love the church, so now Jane wants to learn.  She was a referral from the Stratford ward.  She is so prepared it is so great teaching her.  Appointments last precisely 45...

July and warming up

July 19 HELLO!!!! Good to hear from all of you!  I know I say this every time. But time is going so fast. Next week will be transfers. I do not want to lose my companion. We need to stay together. You can pray for that. Just kidding. We will se what next week brings! P day will be on Tuesday again so emails will be late. This week was a good week!! I'm trying to remember everything that happened. It's all such a blur. Oh Nish!!! Our lovely investigator from India. She wow. She is all over the place. Every day (no every hour) Sister Guimaraes and I go back and forth of whether she I'll make her date for July 30th or not. We just don't know what to think. She has refused to give up coffee at all in the past. This week we committed her to no coffee and she did it! In fact in our lesson on Saturday she said she could give up coffee forever!! (Except for this coffee dessert but we will work it out). What a drastic change this was. All because she is praying and reading ev...
