Chye and Ruth Teh are from Bloomington, Indiana where Chye worked for General Electric and Ruth worked at Indiana University.
Ruth was raised in Hawaii, and served a mission there before going to BYU, where she met Chye.
Chye was raised in Malaysia of Chinese parents until he moved to Australia at age 18. Upon joining the church in Australia, he went to BYU, where he studied Mandarin Chinese. He felt a deep connection to his Chinese heritage and studied very hard to learn the challenging language. Now, 40 years later, he is putting that Chinese to use.
And, we are the happy recipients of his fruitful study.
Oh, he has helped us soooooooooooooooo much as we struggle to communicate with the beautiful people of this country. When we have ventured out on our own, as we have on several occasions, we have sorely missed having Chye with us.
I will always consider it a great blessing that of all the 70 people coming to China, we were blessed to be neighbors with the Tehs.
Long live this friendship and Chye's Chinese!
