Group Thinking:

What have you learned about learning this semester?

• Participation encourages ownership
• It’s ok to learn in a different way than others
• You have to have the intention of using it
• So much of effective learning requires asking the right questions
• Sometimes we spread the most time finding the right question
• My learning should be used to LIFT others up
• The learning that I want to achieve, that is to understand the mind and will of God for me and his other children, is only possible through the infinite power of the Atonement, so I better invite it.
• You cannot be saved in ignorance
• Environment influences it
• there must be a need behind the learning. Also, as an agent you are accountable to create/see this need; not your professor
• Being an agent in learning is vital
• Learning requires faith, agency, and consecration through out
• First I obey then I understand
• The more I learn the more I realize I don’t know
• Knowledge is obtained by the spirit, the spirit combined with knowledge will change hearts, minds, and the world
• God understands perfectly the patterns of learning
• I need to be vulnerable- no pride
• The more you put in, the more you get out of it
• It’s more important to embody what we are learning then to spend time talking about it
• Practicing for the right reasons (Spirit)
• Learning is better retained and received when it springs from the desires of the learner

What are evidences in your life that your learning and teaching has changed?

• My missionaries rely on God more
• my relationship with Jesus Christ looks a lot different
• I see people differently
• The training model becomes a principle not application
• I am more accepting to different points of view
• I associate with my LA roommate in a different way, by spending more time understanding her, especially her desires
• There is more rejoicing in my classrooms as missionaries truly learn
• The Lord shows me my weakness. Accepting and seeking help from others
• I pray more 
• I ask for help
• Going from failing Chem to excelling at Chem
• I’m more reliant on God and less reliant on my experience
• My heart pondereth- continually on learning and teaching
• Talk less, listen more
• I am more comfortable going deeper with others
• I give people the benefit of the doubt

The Plan of Salvation

-JFSmith said that we testify that the plan of salvation is the gospel of Jesus Christ

Gospel in the BD- Good news- Christ’s Atonement

Think about this as a group and why it is said this way.
