Jesse - March 2, 2015

this week has been both really great but then again its been interesting having to teach another missionary the area. its a little difficult to do divisions when someone doesn't know the area but it part of the learning process. elder brush and i have gotten a little more used to teaching together and its made our lessons a lot better! its fun to have to adjust to how other people teach and better the way you teach personally. i have learned a lot just by being a little more observative. its amazing how much we are able to learn when we humble ourselves and just listen to the advice that our leaders give us. i definitely have grown a testimony of how our mission president is inspired of the lord to put us with our companions. its like he knows what hes doing:P  This Sunday was the strongest i have ever felt the spirit in a testimony meeting!!! all of the youth that are helping us in the missionary work went up and gave there testimonies and also! we have two investigators that went up and bore their testimonies of the truth of the church. but i think what helped more than anything is that i had a really strong desire to really listen to the testimonies that were being given and they strengthened me so much. i guess i should start listening more, its something i can better. my companion and i are getting along really well, he was a marine before the mission so i started doing some workouts again... ive gotten so weak. but just like spiritually, there is always room to progress.
