Let me just say you can learn a lot from missionaries who have been out longer than you. It was a great week, especially being able to spend time with the APs and learn from them. It was also nice not being the only white person in Butaritari for a few days. The main reason the APs came was to check up with Elder Bataua and I on how we were doing. They didn't actually organize the branch, but helped us get towards having it organized. The two days they were here, we went on companion exchanges. I personally learned how important it is to always be listening for the Spirit, even when biking from lesson to lesson. With the help of the APs we were able to get 10 new investigators, which is pretty awesome. I've also gained a renewed energy for my service as a missionary.
Other than that, not much has changed here. We're still working hard and serving the Lord. There was apparently a missionary broadcast with changes to the missionary schedule and such, but Elder Bataua and I weren't able to watch it just because of where we are.
I also just got many of your cards from Christmas. Thank you! It was nice to hear from you and see your smiling faces.
Thank you for all your love and support! I tangiringkami!

Our new bathroom with an actual toilet! No flushing mechanism, but it's nice to have a more comfortable seat
