Hello friends!  This week we did a lot of spiritually intense things. As a social media squad we planned and prayed a lot about how to move forward with social media now that we have a new mission president. One thing that we tackled was how to improve our relationship with a senior couple that works on social media with us. Things haven't gone great in the past, so we decided to confront them and resolve some issues.  I was our spokesperson, and I pulled advice from many trusted sources (including Steven Covey) and so I seeked first to understand then be understood. I bore testimony of Christ's Atonement and how it can help us improve our relationships. Needless to say, it went well and things are looking up.  We also had a really cool zone council where we had a lot of time to do some personal refletcion about our relationship with Christ. I am so deeply grateful for Jesus Christ and what He did for me. It has allowed me to change and become better. He helps me feel pea...

Hola a todos! We had interviews this week with our new mission president. He is SO excited for everything. Kind of like a puppy. He's awesome.  We had a social media meeting with President and he really wants to make this thing better. We already find a lot of people on Facebook, but we can definitely do more. I'm very excited to move the work forward in this part of the Lord's vineyard.  My companion and I changed our notification sounds to random Zelda noises and now we are filled with happiness every time we get a message.  Until next time, Hermana Ebbert

Hello everyone! We are out of quarantine and back to normal proslyting! We had a lot of cool miracles this week. We talked to one lady who was super uninterested but told us her dad was dealing with a particular problem and that we should go talk to him. We were able to testify to the dad about that issue without him even telling us that he was thinking about it! One of our members gave us an awesome Tempe shirt. It looks great. It's nice and big so it's great for sleeping.  Our new mission president, President and Sister Phelps, came in this week! They're very young, my parents age, and they've got kids younger than me. It's kind of weird to go from grandparent vibes to parent vibes. They seem really awesome though. And he can speak spanish!! Not much else happened. The Book of Mormon testifies of Christ! Read it. Also we had a sick dust storm. And I got sunburned.  Until next time, Hermana Ebbert
