It's been really rainy here. All last week we got rain and
it's looking like we're getting rain all next week. Fortunately, we had a long
enough break on Monday to be able to have a fun time on the Battleship North
Carolina. The Leland elders picked us up and we got to tour this historic WWII
ship. We had a really fun time, especially when we ran into a group of
members from Charlotte. Their kids saw our name tags and asked
"Are those missionaries?" I got to show off my nautical knowledge
(what little I have) from the Coast Guard Academy. Afterwards I beat everyone
in bowling, scoring my highest score yet (although a 136 isn't much to brag
about). Also, we found out this week that we're going to be getting a set of
Spanish-speaking elders in Wilmington on the 16th, boosting the number of
missionaries in our district to 11.
I've really started to get the hang of budgeting that $115
we get a month. Elder Packard was just about out of his money at the end of the
month and I remember the days when I was in that predicament. Now I typically
end each month with about $20 left in case of emergency. Hopefully I'll be able
to keep it up. I never realized how much I would need to become financially
savvy on my mission, but that really prevents some stress.
On Wednesday I conducted the last district meeting of the
transfer, which is kind of a weird thought since we still have two weeks left.
This week is Zone Leader Training Meeting and next is Zone Conference so I've
just got to prepare lessons, rather than the entire meeting. It's always a
relief to have Zone Meetings because I like teaching, but the planning can be
stressful.
Well, that's about it for this week, I'm looking forward to
hearing back from y'all next week!
Love,
Elder Perryman (the original)
