It was a very busy week! On Tuesday we went to Macclenny to do a tradeoff with the Elders out there. It went pretty well. I went with a new missionary and he did really well.
It's good to go out with new missionaries. It helps me see all the progress that I have actually made while on my mission. More importantly I get to help the new missionary progress. It's a great experience.
Wednesday was a busy day too. We went to Jacksonville for a Zone Leader Council. It went really well. We were there for most of the day. We got back to Lake City around 5:30 that night.
I like to take pictures during the candid part of gathering for pictures. It shows their personalities more. http://floridajacksonvillemissionnews.blogspot.com/ |
One thing that was a bit out of the ordinary is that we rode our bikes on Thursday. We had to take our car to get fixed from the small wreck we were in about a month ago. Thankfully the damage wasn't very bad. They said they might have to keep the car for the whole weekend. However, they got it fixed really quickly. I did like riding my bike for the the day I did it. It's a great way to get some exercise! Before my mission I didn't think I would like riding a bike so much.
The week overall went relatively well. While I was in Macclenny on the tradeoff I saw a quote that I really like. It says, "One of the great tragedies we witness almost daily is the tragedy of men of high aim and low achievement. Their motives are noble, their proclaimed ambition is praiseworthy, their capacity is great, but their discipline is weak. They succumb to indolence. Appetite robs them of will." -President Gordon B. Hinckley. I really love this quote! It's so true. I think this quote sums up why we often struggle. We may know what to do and how to do it, but we don't have the discipline to follow through. We let other things pull our focus away and don't use time to its fullest. I know I've had this problem. I have definitely felt like I have more self-control since I came on my mission. I also look forward to still improving in this area.
Yesterday church was really good. I love going to church. There is always something new to learn. It's such a great opportunity to reflect and change. I feel so much peace after church.
Got to go now.
Love Always, Elder Zachery Snow
