“Lesson 25,” EnglishConnect 1 for Learners

Lesson 25

Review

Objective: I will review EnglishConnect 1 and reflect on my experience.

Personal Study

Prepare for your conversation group by completing activities A through D.

Study the Principle of Learning: Learn by Study and by Faith

I can rely on God to seek learning by study and by faith.

The Lord has given us a pattern for learning:

“Seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom; yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom; seek learning, even by study and also by faith” (Doctrine and Covenants 88:118)

Reflect on your experiences in EnglishConnect. How have you applied this pattern? Reflect on the principles of learning and statements we have learned together:

“You are a child of God”—I am a child of God with eternal potential and purpose.
“Exercise faith in Jesus Christ”—Jesus Christ can help me do all things as I exercise faith in Him.
“Take responsibility”—I have the power to choose, and I am responsible for my own learning.
“Love and teach one another”—I can learn from the Spirit as I love, teach, and learn with others.
“Press forward”—With God’s help, I can press forward even when I face obstacles.
“Counsel with the Lord”—I improve my learning by counseling with God daily about my efforts.

Your EnglishConnect group may be ending, but there are many more things God wants you to learn and experience. Your Heavenly Father loves you and wants to help you achieve your divine potential. You can rely on God and continue to “seek learning, even by study and also by faith.”

“Get all of the education that you can. … Education is the key which will unlock the door of opportunity for you. It is worth sacrificing for. It is worth working at, and if you educate your mind and your hands, you will be able to make a great contribution to the society of which you are a part, and you will be able to reflect honorably on the Church of which you are a member” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Gordon B. Hinckley [2016], 241).
