October’s Comings & Goings

It was a busy month and it felt like we were at the airport A LOT! We had our biggest group yet go home–31! This is the BEST group of missionaries (and I reserve the right to say that about each group). I have truly loved getting to know each of them and have been humbled by their life stories and all the good choices they are making to love and help others. You can see the joy on their faces and you feel it, even more, when you are around them. Lucky family and friends who get to welcome them home and be blessed by the amazing men and women that they have become.

Luckily each time a group leaves, we get new missionaries coming. And here they are…

Newest Haitian-Creole& Korean Speaking Missionaries

We have a fun tradition of having the missionaries do something a little old fashioned and send a postcard home to their families on the day they arrive. Here they are filling them out. Every so often I have to explain to one or more of them where the address goes–it is amazing to realize that they all grew up with digital communication as the norm and some have never sent a postcard before!

Elder Hwang is the only Korean Speaking mIssionary (born and raised in Chicago) to arrive this transfer. It would be hard to find an Elder who is more excited to be here & eager to get to work!

  1. This is Rhett Taylor. Elder Justin Taylor’s dad. I’m trying to line some family things up for this coming summer. Do you know what day his released will be? July 11 2017 was the day he entered the MTC in Mexico.

    Thank you.

  2. Thank you President and Sister Teuscher! We have had a wonderful week with Elder Lang! He loved his mission and has shared so many great stories! Elder Lang loves and admires you both! Thank you for your love and example towards him!

  3. Hi Sister Teuscher!

    I love receiving your email updates from your mission. I am in amazement at all of your missionaries and all that you and your husband are doing!

    I am addressing my Christmas cards, and I don’t know what I did with your address card that you sent out! Can I please get your mailing address?

    Love you! Merry Christmas!
