Hi All, The highlight of our week was a baptism. The new member is in our ward. Remi was baptised on Saturday, 1/10/2026. He was baptised by Elder Chesley of our district. Remi is a humble, kind, respectful, loving man who has been learning the gospel of Jesus Christ. He is full of faith and is committed to following Christ and learning more of Him. He has had 3 other missionaries that have been teaching him who were all transferred from our area. They were able to attend the baptism virtually through a phone and show support and love for the person they have grown to love and have become close to through the spirit. It is a beautiful, spiritual experience to witness the growth, conversion and baptism of someone so humble. We continue to try to learn the language and communicate with members of our ward and people we meet. I am continually amazed and feel blessed to learn how much communication can happen even when we don't speak the same language. The one thing that I am learning is that LOVE is a universal language that can be understood and felt by anyone. Even when we don't speak the same language it is easily communicated and understood sometimes even without words. I am trying to show more love, focus on Christ and continue to make opportunities to learn more and follow him. I am grateful for each of you. Have an amazing week. I love each of you and pray the Lord's blessing be upon you and your families. Love, Sister Gresham

Mission Experience - 26th Week

Received 1/4/26

Hi All, Happy New Year 2026. We had a wonderful week. It seems like we just get done with a week and then a month has passed and here we are starting on a new year. We have officially been on our mission for 6 months. Our time here is going to go so fast. I hope we can accomplish some of the things that I would like to happen. The New Year in Tahiti is celebrated more than most of the holidays. Our ward invited us to a stake New Years Celebration. It started at 7pm on December 31st and went on through the night until 5am on January 1st. Party Hearty! Of course we did not go because we could never stay up that long. It is way past our bedtime. We did have a neighbor shoot a gun in the air four times to ring in the new year. I guess that is the way they do fireworks here. We were able to attend the temple this week and we figured transfers and booked 23 flights for missionaries that are being transferred this week on January 6th & 7th. I appreciate the opportunity but it is a lot of responsibility to make sure the missionaries are going to the correct locations and that they are going the times they need to so companionships are maintained until the new missionary arrives. It is a lot of logistics. I love reading daily in the Book of Mormon, it strengthens my knowledge and testimony of Jesus Christ because of all the testaments, witnesses, prophecies of his life, plan, gospel and purpose. I am equally excited this year to study the Old Testament. I love all the scriptures, but I think the Old Testament is my favorite. I love learning the Old Testament's familiar stories and the types and symbols of Jesus Christ. I hope you are having a great new year. That you continue to focus on Christ and continue to make opportunities to learn more and follow him. I am grateful for each of you. I love each of you and pray the Lord's blessing be upon you and your families. Love, Sister Gresham

Hi All, Hope you had a great "CHRIST"mas celebration. We had a wonderful week. We celebrated delivering chocolates to friends. We spent Christmas Eve with the Tagg couple, another senior missionary couple from Canada. We visited a black sand beach on the end of the island. We had a great dinner together. Sister Tagg is a wonderful cook, she made dairy free leg of lamb with gravy and for dessert fruit Trifle. The food was fantastic. It was such a treat to have something different and better than we have had at any restaurant. We enjoyed being with them. They are a blessing to us. We had a wonderful Christmas visiting with our children & grandchildren. It was so good to be involved in their Christmas activities. We spent a lot of the day on whatsapp calls. What a blessing to be able to visit & enjoy each family. I am so grateful for technology and the ability to see and communicate with our family. We had a day helping missionaries in our district with flat tires, appointments and a lesson they were teaching. (pictured below Elder Chesley, Elder Laubert & Sister Make my friend only speaks French). Each day seems to fill up with opportunities to serve and missionary opportunities. And the most exciting news I think I forgot to mention is that Phillip & I became 1st time Great-Grandparents. Kaden & Kimmie Blake (Carly & Kamaron} welcomed baby Brooker Jay Blake on 12/8/2025 into our family.  We are so excited for him and love more babies. To all you family and dear friends who I am blessed to have in my life, may you be blessed with Love in your Heart, Renewed Health, Peace and Joy in your homes throughout the coming New Year!  I am grateful for each of you. I love each of you and pray the Lord's blessing be upon you and your families. Love, Sister Gresham

 Hi All, How exciting it is Christmas week. We have been extremely busy with sick missionaries. We have many cases of flu. I think it may have had something to do with getting together at Zone Conference. The missionaries did not want to miss out on the party, so they came not being 100%, being generous they spread what they had with all the missionaries that they came in contact with. And that's how it spreads. It is definitely the flu season. We are seeing missionaries who have lost hearing in one ear for 2 weeks, others with colds, body aches, fever, chills, and sore throats. Not a lot we can do except encourage them to rest, treat the symptoms and wash, wash, wash their hands. We lost our internet yesterday, so I was unable to send out my weekly mission experience letter. Sorry for the delay. I made 12 loaves of pumpkin bread. I consider it a huge accomplishment with the changes in cooking here in Tahiti. I was never a good cook, but I have had a challenge adapting to the altitude differences, ingredient differences and the oven differences. I have had luck with banana bread and pumpkin bread. I wrapped the bread with twisty ribbon and a Joyeux Noel (Merry Christmas in French) tag and gave them to the two elders in our ward to give to people. They are using their own discretion of who needs a bit of extra love this time of year to share them with. They seemed excited to share so I hope they will have a good experience and brighten someone's day. I have a sweet sister that I met at church the first week we arrived. She is very kind and finds me each week to say hello and sit by at church. The only thing she can say in English is Hello, you doing ok? So, our conversations this whole time have been very limited. This last Saturday I received a text. It said "Bonsoir c'est Soeur Make, I'm Sorry No Speak English." In the middle of the night, I figured out it was this sweet lady. On Sunday I was so excited to find out it was her and I was able to use my translator to send her messages through text in French and she was able to respond in French and then I could figure out what she was saying with the interpretation. I am so excited to be able to communicate with her. I know it is going to turn into a great experience and friendship. And if I get good enough at it, I will be able to make more friendships. We gave out stickers to some of the children at church. They didn't know what to do with them. It was like they had never seen stickers before. We went to the temple on Saturday. There is another senior couple that goes at the same time as we do. It is amazing how we have come to communicate with limited ability to speak the same language. I feel very blessed to be able to do all the things we are doing and to be here with limited ability to speak French. It is a humbling experience. We study every day and are trying to learn French, but it is a difficult language, we are old, with old minds. Hopefully it at some point will click. I love each of you. I pray the blessing of the Holiday Season be yours. I wish you and your family health, happiness, peace and prosperity. May the magic of Christmas fill your heart on Christmas day and the light of Christ fill your heart all year long. 

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! 

Love, Sister Gresham

  Hi All, Tomorrow is December 15th and only 10 days until Christmas. This is a season that we wait for all year and it goes so quickly. This last week we had a zone conference with all the missionaries from Tahiti & Moorea. There were about 160 missionaries. We made six batches of peanut butter candy kiss cookies to take to the conference. I had to figure out how to get cookies to bake here due to different ingredients and altitude differences, but together we figured it out. At the zone conference they had the normal meeting, training and a talent show. It is always great to be with the young missionaries. It was nice to see their talents in music and dance. They are a fun group. We also had a Ward Christmas party. They asked Phillip to be Papa Noel (Santa Claus). He did really well. There were a lot of children, they were so excited and the little ones had big eyes as he gave them a bag of 5 small pieces of square unwrapped taffy. I saw their cute faces and big smiles as they went back to their parents to show them what they had received. It was a sweet and humbling experience. I am grateful to spend extra time in the scriptures learning of Christ, his birth, life, atonement, death and resurrection. Jesus Christ came to earth to bring joy and hope. Thanks be to God for the gift of His divine Son. Have a wonderful week. I love each of you and pray the Lord's blessing be upon you and your families. Love, Sister Gresham 

Mission Experience - 22nd Week

Received 12/7/25

Hi All, We are enjoying our 85 degree temperatures and sometimes afternoon rains. This is called the season of plenty. The start of the fruits to come more plentiful and everything coming back into bloom.  We have been very comfortable with the weather, it has not felt too hot, however we have noticed a few more rainy days. We went to pick up a senior couple from the airport last Thursday evening and on the way home noticed our little city building was decorated with Christmas lights. It is really the first sign of Christmas. There were so many lights it was exciting to see. It looks like what we would expect there in the states. We went to the end of the Island to pick up missionaries to take to the doctor. We stopped at a lookout point and found this monument/lighthouse that was built to commemorate the first missionaries coming to the island of Tahiti. That was fun because I could picture it as maybe an area that was one of the first developments where the ships came in. My grandfather's journal records a lot of him watching for ships and getting supplies etc. Maybe this is an area he could have been when he was here on his mission from 1913-1917. We had the sisters in our district tell us of some friends they found that when they asked them if they believed in God, they did not. The sisters taught them and bore testimony to a Father in Heaven who loves us all and invited them to look around at all the evidence of God's love. When they finished the mother was crying and invited them to come back to learn more. In this season of light and goodwill, we can rejoice in remembering our Savior, Jesus Christ. He preached the gospel of repentance, hope and everlasting life. I want to spend more time this seeking Him and the blessing of His eternal plan of happiness and His peace. I am grateful for each of you. I love each of you and pray the Lord's blessing be upon you and your families. Love, Sister Gresham

Hi All, we had a wonderful week. We had our P-Day on Monday. We study, learn our language, read scriptures, wash & clean our car, do laundry and grocery shopping. Then at 5:30pm we have a district council meeting. The rest of the week was filled with missionaries ill, one bit by a centipede, one we thought had an appendicitis attack, cold & flu symptoms, we took a Sister to the doctor they suspect she has an amoeba. We are getting used to the busy weeks and helping the missionaries is never a burden. We are happy to be with them and help them anyway we can. We went on Friday to a dinner at Le Sully with the mission office staff, President & Sister Tuahu. It was a pleasure to be with them. The only thing on the menu that we recognized was BBQ ribs with french fries so we split a meal. They were amazing! For Thanksgiving we had roast, potatoes, carrots & onions cooked together. It was difficult for me to be away from my children & grandchildren. I realize the holidays are a time I am drawn to family and miss them tons! I took time to count my blessings and found they were more abundant than I could list. I realize how blessed I am and how gracious the Lord has been to me in my life. It helped to concentrate on the positive experiences and not focus on what I don't have for a short 2 years. We went to the temple on Saturday. They have a beautiful display of Nativity in front of the temple. Christmas will be here before we know it. We have a short month to focus on the Love of Christ who is the greatest gift of all. We can learn from him and spread his "Light to the World."  I am grateful for each of you. I love each of you and pray the Lord's blessing be upon you and your families. Love, Sister Gresham

Hi All,

This week we had a miracle. On Monday we received a text at 2:20am from our mission president's wife. She was at the hospital with a missionary who had been assaulted and taken by ambulance to the hospital. He had fallen 30 ft onto a cement slab below. We received another text 2 hrs later that they were outside the hospital, he had been scanned and was ok. It turns out we learned the elder heard some noise outside his apartment and opened the door to see what it was. He was hit in the head with a rock and pushed off a footbridge to cement 30 feet below. That is 3 stories below to the lower apartments. The sound was so loud it woke the residents below. They came out and found a stunned missionary who said he was hit on the head with a rock. Those who found him assumed it was his companion trying to kill him. The ambulance and police were called. The companion was asleep in his bed and woke to being accused of trying to kill his companion. He called the mission president wondering what to do and asking for help. The mission president came and straightened everything out. Nothing short of a miracle. No broken bones, No bleeding, No internal damage. Later in the day the same missionaries were filing a police report, moving to a different apartment and eating at McDonalds. He is our miracle elder. I testify miracles do happen! 

We sent out 26 emails today with flights for missionary transfers this week. The mission is opening 3 more new islands that have not had missionaries for a long time. In fact one of the new islands is where my grandfather John Leondard Davis was in 1916, the island is Takaroa. I hope to visit there. Picture below, he is back row left. Also pictures of our district in front of the Temple. This is the group we meet every Monday. And a picture of a baptism on Saturday of a new sister in our ward. She is a 21 yr old new convert, baptised by her uncle. It was a very spiritual experience to be there and witness. 

This is a wonderful time of year with Thanksgiving almost here. My heart is full. To all my family and friends, you are cherished more than you know. Happy Thanksgiving. May this season bring warmth to you and peace to your spirit. May you find time to relax and enjoy your loved ones and the love of Christ who is the greatest gift of all. I am grateful for each of you. I love each of you and pray the Lord's blessing be upon you and your families. Love, Sister Gresham

Hi All, We have had a very busy week with health issues. We had an Elder fall through a glass door and get a massive gash in his arm. He was taken to the hospital at approximately 6:30 am and waited until 1:00 pm for the doctor to see him and stitch it up. He ended up getting 7 stitches. Another Sister was having bad headaches for about a week. She was taken to the hospital and they have not determined what is going on with her. We are still waiting for results. All these serious illnesses and the normal colds, sore throats, stomach, ingrown toenail and I don't feel good issues. Our Mission President and His wife were away in Australia for Mission Leader training. We saw them last night and today at our Stake Conference. It is wonderful to have them back, we are so grateful for their support. We went today for the Sunday session of Stake Conference, we arrived 30 minutes early thinking that would be plenty of time to get a good seat. When we arrived it was a normal sized chapel, cultural hall and stage. It was so full it was standing room only. Wow! I was a bundle of emotions when we walked into that meeting and saw all these beautiful, faithful people gathered. The music was beautiful, the talks were inspiring (what we could understand with our google translate) and it was good to be together. As much as I miss my family at this time of the year. And I do! I love that we have the support of the Lord to give us tender mercies to help us realize the blessing we can be to others and the blessing they can be to us. I am grateful for each of you. I love each of you and pray the Lord's blessing be upon you and your families. Love, Sister Gresham

Hi All, what a great week. We are busy arranging a Tahiti mission flu vaccine campaign. We are working with the pharmacies, missionaries and insurance to get all the missionaries (nearly 200) serving here in for an annual flu vaccination for flu season. A bit of planning, scheduling and organizing. We got this! We had a Sister with food poisoning, an Elder with rib & lung issues, the normal colds and stomach issues. We went to the temple on Saturday, and met President Sinjoux, the Tahiti Temple President. We were able to tell him about my Grandfather who served his 4 yr & 3 month mission here in Tahiti from 1913-1917. I can't help but think how happy my grandfather would be with the growth of the gospel here where he served and loved the people. In 1983 the Papeete, Tahiti temple was built, that would be 70 years after my grandfather John Leonard Davis served here as a young missionary and 28 years after he passed away in 1955. His service here would have been 112 years before Phillip and I arrived. The faithfulness, dedication and growth of the people here is humbling and inspiring. This is evidence of God's goodness, grace, mercy, and love. To provide a way for us to live our lives guided by his gospel to bring us closer to him and to help us become better disciples of Jesus Christ. We have so much to be grateful for. God loves a grateful heart! I love each of you and encourage you to reflect on the Lord's blessing in your life. Love, Sister Gresham

Hi All, we had an uplifting week with the Zone Conference on Wednesday. About 80 missionaries, in our zone. It is a spiritual experience to hear the missionaries teach and be with them and see and feel their strength. President Tuahu and his wife are always a joy and inspiration to be around. They have love for each of these missionaries and the example and guidance they give them is amazing. We have grown to love them and all who work here in the mission. Health concerns this week have been one missionary on a remote island has Dengue fever, a Sister with chronic back pain who we took to the doctor and for x-rays and two missionaries with cuts on the bottom of their feet that we were worried about bacteria in the sand that can cause infection. We went to the temple on Friday this week. November is a month to focus on gratitude. I feel so blessed. I continue to find joy through the gospel and through temple experiences. I want to know our Savior better and follow in his footsteps. I have a testimony that Christ guides our paths, he knows us, he loves us and He will help us to remain centered on Him. I am going to reflect this month on my blessings. I have so much to be grateful for. This is a wonderful time of the year as we move into Thanksgiving & Christmas. I love each of you and pray the Lord's blessings be upon you and your families. Love, Sister Gresham

Hi All, we have had a great week. We had a missionary with an ingrown toenail that had to have surgery. We are watching him closely to make sure no infection comes. He is recovering well. All the other missionaries that have contacted us are on the recovery lists also. It has been a relatively calm week. The highlight of the week was of course going to the temple and making contact with 2 of the Service Missionaries. We are going to work our temple attendance around their schedules so that we will be able to see them in the temple. No greater place. At our sacrament meeting today two little boys about 3 & 4 years old stood on a chair in front of the microphone and sang I am a Child of God. At one point they seemed to be nervous or forget the words so the congregation started to sing with them to help them. That is one of the most beautiful things about the French language. Listening to the music I am familiar with the music and recognize the song, even though I don't know the words in French. The spirit is powerful and can witness the truthfulness of the words and touch the heart. Everyday I see how our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love us. May you be blessed to seek them, find them and appreciate them in your life. I love each of you and pray the Lord's blessings be upon you and your families. Love, Sister Gresham

Hi All, Another beautiful week in Tahiti. We had a busy week. Missionaries with health needs. Booking flights for missionaries doing exchanges & the normal meetings and of course the temple on Saturday. I am including pictures this week of a typical fruit stand & a fish stand. We buy the majority of our fruit from stands/tables on the side of the road, because the fruit is local and the best price. We pay $1.00 per banana, a good sized avocado or mango is $3.00 & a baking portateo is approx $3.50 each. We were tempted to buy a watermelon because they are in season, but it was $38.00 for a small one so we passed. The fish are hanging in ziplock bags with water to keep the fish fresh. Needless to say we have not bought fish from the stand, but we have purchased some fish from the grocery store. I also included a picture of our district picnic with our district. Three of the missionaries in the picture were transferred, this was our last time together. It is hard to see missionaries transfer, but it is good for everyone's growth and we hope to see them in the future. I included a picture of a school bus. No windows on the sides, no air conditioning and the front of the vehicle is a truck. Very different from what a school bus looks like in the states. We had the special experience to attend our first baptism. It was a tiny little girl who turned 8 years old. Her mother is a member of the church but her father is not. The whole baptism was in french so we only caught bits and pieces. One talk on baptism, a talk on the Holy Ghost. The baptism & confirmation were performed. Then the mother bore her testimony. It was so emotional she was almost sobbing. The little girl was crying. The spirit was so strong. When the meeting came to a close, several in attendance came forward, kissed the little girl on the head and placed a flower lei around her neck. It was so sweet, so touching to see this gift of beauty & love presented to her. I think it is a tradition that we should start at every baptism. I have included a picture of sweet little Tearaina. Everyday I see how our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love us. They have a plan for us. This plan began before the world was created. I love each of you and pray the Lord's blessings be upon you and your families. Love, Sister Gresham

Hi All, We had another extra busy week. A lot of missionaries with health needs. We aided some of them getting to the doctor, we had meetings & trainings. We spent 2 full days at the mission home with the mission president's wife learning how to do transfers and book flights for the missionaries that need to travel. This transfer the mission is opening 4 islands that have not had missionaries for some time. We booked 37 flights for sisters & elders who are flying to different locations. It is a complicated process to make sure missionaries always have companions and that they travel together, etc. That is not all the transfers because there were several that did not need to fly but would be moved to different locations with new companionships. We are happy to help and it is such a please to rub shoulders with the mission president and his wife. They are so kind and appreciative. They have 4 children. I don't know how they juggle all the responsibilities they have. Sister Tuahu is 39 years old. They are spiritual giants and examples of service and helping these young missionaries in every aspect of their lives. I have included a picture of the mission home, it is on a street right next to the temple. We went to the temple on Saturday and a young couple coming out of the temple asked us to take their picture. We learned they are from Eagle Mountain, they were celebrating their 19th wedding anniversary. Going from Papeete to Moorea, & Bora Bora. We got a picture with them. Small world, fun to meet someone who lives 10 minutes from where we are from. I loved the general conference talks and studying them helps me to focus on Jesus Christ.

Hi All,.This week was an extra busy week. We had our district meeting on Monday. The sisters & elders are making so many new friends. They have baptisms set up for October. We are excited for the opportunity to attend a baptism here. That will be a very special experience. We have been going to our ward building for several months and it wasn't until last week that we noticed there is an outdoor baptism font in the middle of the church's courtyard. I have never seen an outdoor baptism font. I think it is so funny that we have never noticed it before but have walked by it weekly. I have included two pictures below so you can see what it looks like. We had a zone conference on Tuesday. It is always such a treat to be with around 60 young elder & sister missionaries. They are amazing examples of the Savior and his teachings. They are energetic and enthusiastic and I love being around them. Hopefully they will keep us young and help us to grow to be as wonderful in spirit and testimony as they are. On Wednesday we took a young elder into the city to get a shot for his heart condition. He is from Vanuatu, and has to have an injection every 30 days. While we were driving the mission president's wife asked if we could take a young sister missionary to her doctor's appointment. So, we swapped missionaries at another zone conference and we were successful and got both missionaries to their appointments on time. We had the water heater element go out on our house water heater. We have not had hot water. Fun fact the water heater's here are just like the ones in the states however it is on the roof. It has both a solar element & an electrical element. We have had a few days of clouds and rain and so not much hot or warm water. The repair man who came to fix it told Phillip he needs to be a real Tahitian, take a cold shower then jump around after to get warm. That's not happening. On Friday we went to the temple. Saturday we went to our stake center and watched General Conference with the other elders and sisters in our area in english.{picture does not include all missionaries) We watched conference on Saturday from 6am-8am, 10am-12pm & 2pm-4pm. Then again on Sunday from 6am-8am & 10am-12pm. General Conference was wonderful. I didn't want it to end. It was so nice to feel the spirit and to receive so much light and goodness. I loved the focus on Looking to Christ. Our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love us, they are aware of us. They give so much to be grateful for and give us so many blessings and opportunities. I love each of you and pray the Lord's blessings upon you and your families. Love, Sister Gresham

Hi All, This week was an extra fun week with missionary work and us taking a whale watching tour. We had our regular missionary meetings and we were busy helping missionaries with health needs. We have a sister who has a herniated disc, we had a couple missionaries who we thought had dengue fever. An Elder crashed on his bike and we are still waiting for results to see if he has a broken wrist. Thankfully we were able to go back to the temple after it had been closed for 2 weeks for cleaning. I felt a somber unexpected disbelief of emotions on Saturday evening when we found on facebook that President Nelson had passed. He was 101 years old. As much as he will be missed I am sure he had a wonderful reunion with his loved ones that had gone on before him. And Sunday morning the news of the deadly incident in Michigan, with the shooting and fire at one of the church buildings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. How sad, the world can be in chaos and yet there is peace in the gospel of Jesus Christ knowing that God is aware. We don't understand and we don't know exactly how things will turn out, or why things happen like they do, we need to remember & have faith that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are in charge, they are aware and know the beginning to the end. One of the easiest ways to identify and be a true follower of Jesus Chrst is how we treat other people. How we treat each other really matters. We can change the world one person and one interaction at a time. Be a peacemaker. I love each of you and pray the Lord's blessings upon you and your families. Love, Sister Gresham

Hi All,.This week we had a district council meeting with 2 sets of sisters and 1 set of brothers. They are amazing! They are such great leaders, they bring investigators to church each week and are so excellent at discussing, planning, setting goals & helping inspire each other. They are the light that is sparking our friends to have a desire to learn more & follow the Savior. They love missionary work and are examples of the strength and power that comes through living & teaching the gospel of Jesus Chrsit. We had a couple additional training sessions this week, had a picnic with another senior couple from Canada and on Saturday we were able to go to the temple. We plan our week and feel like we have some free time and then somehow the calendar fills in with other things to be done. This week I have included pictures of the oldest Notre Dame Cathedral of Papeete. Built in 1875. The Harbor of Papeete and our favorite restaurant in downtown Papeete. Our mission president has asked to visit and support young service missionaries in our mission. We will have seven service missionaries we will get to visit and get to know. Hopefully we can give them support and inspire them. It is a joy to serve, we love the missionaries that we are blessed to work with. No matter where you are in the world, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the same and the joy that comes from doing service and helping the gospel spread is a privilege and blessing. Have a great week. I love each of you and pray the Lord's blessings upon you and your families. Love, Sister Gresham
