PC 102 WEEKLY
GATHERING
DEVOTIONAL
“I Have Learned for
Myself”
DAVID A. BEDNAR
Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Discussion Questions from the Gathering

.Why is it important for us to learn for


ourselves like Joseph Smith did?
.What did you learn from this devotional?
“If I had the wish of my heart, every person involved
in Pathway would have burned into his or her brain the
statement, “ I have learned for myself”. This is what
Joseph said when he returned from the sacred grove .
His mother is in their home. She notices something
has happened, and he says, “Mother, I am well
enough off, I have learned for myself…”You see that
exact same pattern with Nephi. He believed his
father’s vision, but because he believed his father’s
vision, he had a desire to see and know for himself.
So, we find that same pattern in both Nephi and
Joseph Smith of desiring and seeking to learn for
themselves.
ELDER BEDNAR: I think the key to learning is learning how
to learn. The issue is not learning a formula in mathematics or
memorizing a series of concepts from an economics book, or
something else. For me, the value of education is figuring out
what to do when you don’t know what to do. That’s what
education provides. You can go to books, you can go to google,
you can go to all kinds of reference materials. But what do you
do when there’s no answer in the books? Everyone thinks google
knows everything—it doesn’t. What do you do when you don’t
know? That’s what learning does. It equips you. This is fun. This
is engaging. This is at the heart of the gospel—learning,
growing, progressing. So, I would invite all of these young people
to seek for the assistance of the holy ghost so they can learn
how to learn and learn to love learning.
IMPORTANT TEAMWORK PRINCIPLES:

. Teams are made of people, and the relationships


you have with these people can make or break you
team’s performance.
. As you seek to be understood also seek
understanding of others. This can bring unity faster.
. Establish unity by being disciples of JESUS CHRIST
and asking for divine help.
. Do your part and help the group. When everyone
participates, the work can be much easier.
. Unity in a team can take awhile to form. Have
patience and nurture each other.
