Sister Prue Arrived Safely in NYC

October 31, 2018


It was a pleasure to welcome Sister Prue upon her arrival in NYC yesterday. All the new missionaries went out for some good old-fashioned street contacting and then came to the mission home for dinner and a good night's sleep. This morning she met her new companion and after a brief training meeting, they were off to do missionary work!

Preparation days are Mondays, and those are the days the missionaries are asked to send an e-mail home to their family and friends. We encourage you to write a weekly letter or e-mail too. You may write more frequently, but we ask that they only respond on Mondays. Please refrain from communicating with them in any other way like Facebook messenger or texting. These first weeks and months in the mission field are critical to the success of a missionary. For that reason, we hope you can make your letters and e-mails full of encouraging communication that will lift and strengthen your missionary. This type of communication will be a great source of motivation throughout their mission. If there is a serious family problem or the need for urgent communication with your missionary please inform the mission president.

Mail or packages can be sent to the mission office at the following address:

New York New York City Mission
700 White Plains Rd. Ste #315
Scarsdale, NY 10583

We are grateful to have Sister Prue here with us and are excited to serve with her in the New York City Mission. Attached is a picture we took with her the evening she arrived.


With love and appreciation,

President & Sister Teuscher
New York, New York City Mission

Letter #17 - Week 19: Basically All Pictures I've Ever Sent Home Were Taken or Initiated by Hermana Jensen

January 28, 2019 Hola Everyone! This Tuesday I left Hermana Jesen in a parking lot and navigated the relatively short distance home with my two new companions. It's been interesting seeing how they do missionary work and figuring out how we're going to do missionary work together. They have been enjoying all of the Asian people though, so this transfer should remain as exciting as ever. Several weeks ago a Chinese missionary handed me a stack of their Christmas cards because they didn't want to deal with them. I put one on the refrigerator, but after that I just stuck them in my purse with my pass-along cards and kind of forgot about it. A few weeks back I decided I might as well use them and started showing them as an approach for talking to Chinese people, usually just giving them an English class card after. It's been kind of fun to do that, but this week it didn't work as planned. We were riding down an elevator 10 floors with a Chinese lady,...

Letter #33 - Week 35: I Guess I Just Have That Country Bumpkin Vibe, Maybe It's The Food In My Hair

May 20, 2019 Hola Everyone! This week was a week of miracles! It was our best proselytizing week of the transfer, and we met such a sweet soul. Her name is Mirella, and she is dating a member of the YSA ward. We decided to look her up a couple of weeks back, and she wasn't home. I apparently called her, but I only kind of remember it and obviously forgot about it. We then went to look her up again and she turned out to be one of the coolest people ever! On our first real lesson she looked at a calendar and decided that June 15th was a good day to be baptized. We couldn't agree more! She is so prepared to start living more fully the Gospel of Jesus Christ in her life. It is going to bless her so much, so stay tuned. We saw lots of huge miracles with little José this week. I now have a greater testimony that through the small efforts of many that Heavenly Father works His greatest miracles. As we put our best foot forward in faith, God will make much more of our ef...

January 13, 2020 Hola Everyone! Events of the week: -Zone Conference -Exchanges with Sister Zornes -Ward Conference -Crazy awesome progrese with our people -The finding famine continues South Brooklyn hiked up to a balmy 67° F Sunday, January 12th with a pleasant breeze accompaning our Sunday afternoon walk home from church. Ive never experienced those harsh New England winters they always seem to talk about, but still bracing myself I guess. Ward Conference had some wonderful spiritual insights. To our delight, the stake president did some leadership training about member missionary work coordination and it was lots of fun to be with them while they were learning. Fun thing just happened. Hermana Haws and I were waiting for the bus coming home from shopping when Hermana Haws made eye contact with a lady holding a microphone and she asked to interview us asking us dental questions. It was low key awkward but fun #ifyoucanmakeitinnycyoucanmakeiyanywhere This ...
