Study the Principle of Learning: Love and Teach One Another

Alofa ma A’oa’o e le Tasi le Isi

I can learn from the Spirit as I love, teach, and learn with others.

E mafai ona ou a’oa’o mai le Agaga Paia ao ou alofa, a’oa’o atu, ma a’oa’o faatasi ma isi.

I le EnglishConnect, ua tatou iloa o le Atua o le faiaoga moni, ma e aoao e Ia i tatou e ala i Lona Agaga. E aumaia e le Agaga lagona o le olioli, filemu, ma le alofa. E fesoasoani le Agaga ia i tatou ia malamalama i le upumoni ma e mafai ona faateleina lo tatou gafatia e a’oa’o ai. O se tasi o auala tatou te valaaulia ai le Agaga e faatasi ma i tatou o le alofa, a’oa’o atu, ma le a’oa’o faatasi. O le perofeta o Alema mai le Tusi a Mamona sa nafa ma le aoaoina o tagata. Sa ia vaevaeina tagata i ni vaega ma filifilia se taitai mo vaega taitasi. Sa a’oa’o atu i latou e Alema e:

“Sa lē sili atu le lelei o lē sa tala’i atu nai lo lē sa faalogologo mai ia te ia, pe sa sili a’e foi le lelei o lē na a’oa’o atu, i lē na a’oa’oina; ma sa faapea ona latou tutusa uma” (Alema 1:26).

I le EnglishConnect, matou te talitonu e tutusa lava le taua o faiaoga ma tagata a’oa’o. O i tatou uma o faiaoga ma tagata a’oa’o. Tatou te faaaloalo ma faalogo le tasi i le isi. Tatou te aoao le tasi ma le isi. Tatou te alolofa ma faatāua le tasi ma le isi. Tatou te faamālo atu i isi pe a faamanuiaina i latou ma faamalosiau ia i latou pe a latou faia ni mea sese. E mafai foi ona tatou sailia ni auala e lagolago ai le tasi ma le isi ma fuafua taimi e faataitai ai ma le tasi ma le isi i le aluga o le vaiaso. O le a faamanuiaina i tatou e le Atua i Lona Agaga a o tatou a’oa’o e alolofa ma aoao e le tasi le isi.

Ponder

• O le a se mea e mafai ona e faia e alofa ma lagolago ai i latou e eseese tomai i le Igilisi?

• E mafai faapefea ona ese le aafiaga o le aoaoina i le EnglishConnect mai isi vasega na e oo muamua i ai?
