Hello everyone! This week was super epic. We had some super fun activities as a zone and we had some bomb member dinners.  Christmas eve we went to a Venezuelan family for dinner. They fed us ayacas, which are a traditional christmas food similar to tamales. They were very good. In lots of South American countries they celebrate Christmas Eve until midnight, then they open Christmas presents. Needless to say, 9am church is a struggle.  Christmas day was very chill. I haven't had a chill day in the last year at least, so that was nice. I slept for 2 hours. I got a tortilla blanket for Christmas and a mini Lego Mandolorian razorcrest, so I'm set for the next year. We also got a surplus of treats from members. Sugar crash for two weeks? Yeah.  Life is good! As always. Until next time, Hermana  Ebbert

Hello! This week we had a mission wide Christmas conference. We played gatorball for hours and had TONS of fun. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.  We went to the New Convert Devotional and I got to play piano! I love playing piano for everything. We brought our friend Flor and taught her about the Restoration of Christ's Church. She is so ready to hear God's message for her! Missionary work is hype. God is good. That's all.  Until next time, Hermana Ebbert 

I'm baaaaaaaaack! I've been transferred to the ward I started my mission in, and it's awesome. The bishop remembered me and so did a handful of other members.  I'll miss my last area and companion, but I'm excited for a new change! I'm back in a  spanish ward too, so I get to use spanish every day and eat LOTS of awesome carne asada tacos.  My new comp is awesome! We're STLs over two zones, so we have lots of responsibilities.  Also a scorpion almost MURDED us this morning in our apartment.  Until next time, Hermana Ebbert
