Sign up for updates!  IF YOU WANNA SEE DAILY UPDATES JOIN MY PHOTO ALBUM:   Selfie at the Temple Mexico City, Mexico February 2024 Hiiii!!! week 3 MTC!!! Guys I can not believe in 3 1/2 short weeks I'll be in St. Louis! Time fliessss. I'm not gonna lie the first week of the CCM felt incredibly long! Like years long! But this week zoomed by and it has everything to do with the amount of studying we are doing!  We get a lot of good time to study our language and the good ol BOM (Book of Mormon)!

  Week: 1  Date: February 12, 2024 Location: San Antonio Texas, At Home MTC Email: leah.kimball@missionary.org Companion: Hermana Duersch/ Pennsylvania, Hermana Strong/ Arizona HI EVERYONE!! The day we got set apart as missionaries for the church of jesus christ of latter day saints!! San Antonio Texas January 2024 : my sisters with my new tag! San Antonio Texas January 2024   I hope you are all well! It is so surreal writing a missionary email right now! Although, all of this feels pretty surreal! Just a warning to all of my friends who have recently received their calls… the time from getting your call and starting your mission goes by in what literally feels like 2 seconds!! Anyways y'all, I am a survivor, I have officially finished home CCM (Centro De Capacitación Misional México), or Mexico MTC! And for my friends who don’t know what an MTC is, and have no clue what I'm talking about, it is a training center that all missionaries get sent to for the first ...
