Does the infinite series Sigma (n = 1 to infinity) (-1)^n ln( (3n+1)/(3n-3) converge?

Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
(3n+1)/(3n-3) approaches 1 as n approaches infinity
so ln((3n+1)/(3n-3)) approaches ln1 = 0
and
0 times (-1)^n = 0,
it converges to 0,
although initially you might think it doesn't due to the oscillation of (-1)^n back and forth never converging, as it goes from 1 to -1
