Learning to Lead

I have been thinking about people and paths they follow as well and so I have been studying chapter 9 of preach my gospel, and one of the scriptures I studied in that chapter was DC 29:7 which talks about how the elect will hearken to the truth of the gospel.  I have been trying to think more about that recently and how my job is to talk to as many people as the Lord puts in his way, I have to do my part, but those who are ready will be receptive and we will be able to work with them.  I went on exchange with our district leader this week, this is his last transfer and so it was great to talk and learn from him.  He hit on the things that President Clark told me to do, to be bolder and that he needs me to be a leader.  I have begun to notice more and more that I am acted upon instead of acting, and that is where DC 58:26 comes in and says that doing so is not a good idea.  So I am going to find time to apply Ether 12:27 and grow and get the strength I need to change.  My companion is the opposite of me and does not like to be acted upon, so an example is yesterday he didn't feel like going out for a bit and so I talked with him for an hour trying to see what I could do or help and then he saw the clock and decided we should head out so we were not late for dinner, so I am trying to see what I can do, whenever I push he usually says he wants to rebel more, and he feels lots of missionaries are obedient, but don't want to and do it grudgingly and so it is held against them as if they didn't do it.  The Adversary is very sly and my companion is helping me become more aware of his influence and how he tries and gets me to not act, waste time, whatever it may be.  I am sorry if this makes my companion sound really bad,  I have my own struggles that also cause us problems.  I am trying to work on challenging unrighteousness, or actually saying things now when rules and lines are being crossed, and I need to work on doing better myself.
