Study the Principle of Learning: Love and Teach One Another

Alofa ma Aoao 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 a o o’u alofa, a’oa’o atu, ma a’oa’o faatasi ma isi.

E i ai mea tetele a le Atua e finagalo o Ia e a’oa’o mai ia i tatou. E mafai ona Ia faateleina lo tatou gafatia e a’oa’o ai upumoni e ala i Lona Agaga. Tatou te valaaulia le Agaga pe a tatou alolofa ma faalogo le tasi i le isi. E aoaoina i tatou e le Atua pe faapeī lagona pe a tatou a’oa’o e ala i le Agaga:

“O ia o lē e mauaina le afioga e ala i le Agaga o le upumoni e maua e ia e pei ona talai atu i le Agaga o le upumoni[.] O le mea lea, o ia o le e talai atu atoa ma ia o le e mauaina, e malamalama i le tasi, ma e faagaeetiaina ma olioli faatasi i laua uma” (Mataupu Faavae ma Feagaiga 50:21–22).

E mafai ona tatou iloa o loo aoaoina i tatou e le Atua pe a tatou lagona le Agaga ma lagona le faagaeetiaina. E aumaia e le Agaga lagona o le alofa, olioli, ma le filemu. E mafai e i tatou taitoatasi ona fesoasoani e fatu se siosiomaga e mafai ai e le Agaga ona aoao atu. A o tatou saili e a’oa’o e ala i le Agaga, e mafai e le Atua ona fesoasoani ia i tatou ia malamalama le tasi i le isi ma lagona faatasi le olioli. A o e a’oa’o faatasi ma lau vaega o le EnglishConnect, matau le taimi o loo e a’oa’o ai e ala i le Agaga. Ia saili ia maua soo le Agaga.
