Hello!! Happy New Year! How are you doing? Things have been so crazy. Sorry it has taken so long for me to email you. There have been bank holidays all week so the library was closed until today.
Things are going well. I like Bracknell. It's been a bit wierd coming here right in the middle of the transfer but it has been lots of fun being with sister mills again.
I'm doing well. This week has been harder than I was expecting. I thought I would be able to go right back to work and I was so excited to be out of the hospital and everything but it's been hard. I guess my body is just really exhausted after the last couple of weeks so when I tried to get right back in the work it didn't turn out as well as I was hoping. I haven't had anymore pains but I've been so tired and weak. It's been really frustrating physically and emotionally. I'm doing a lot better now but it was a real struggle at first.
We've still been able to work and it is going pretty well. I like Bracknell. I miss Exeter though.
We are teaching this guy S and he is so amazing. The Sisters have been teaching him for about 9 months. He wants to be baptized SO bad but he can't because he is Muslim and it is really dangerous for him. If he gets baptized his life will be in a lot of danger. President Shamo interviewed him and wrote about it to the first presidency and now he is waiting for a response from them before S can be baptized. It is so sad. Every time we teach him the last thing he asks is when can he be baptized. He is so sweet and he loves the gospel so much. In the Bible and the Book of Mormon peoples lives are always in danger when they stand up for what they believe. Same with Joseph Smith times but while I've been on my mission I've learned that that still isn't over. Those things still happen and I'm seeing it happen right now with S. S is willing to die for what he believes. It is amazing and so humbling to see him and his love for the gospel. I remember when the sisters first started teaching him and now I get to teach him. He's amazing! Pray for him please :) He needs it.
We saw this less active woman this week. Her name is Jackie and she is so funny. She has these 2 dolls that she treats like real babies. When we go over she has us hold them and you have to be soo careful haha it is hilarious and really wierd. I thought the dolls were really creepy but it was so funny because at one point I was holding one of them and I realized I was standing there bouncing the baby and patting it's back as if it were a real baby!! haha Sister Mills and I went along with acting like they were real babies but overall it was just really weird. . . I love those random experiences like that on my mission though. It is so funny.
Anyway, Things are going good! I'm am doing well and I have really great companions who are helping me so much through this whole thing. I'm so grateful for them :)
Thank you for all you do for me. I love you all so much!
love, sister gregson
