Liliana Pérez Juárez from Mexico was unsure if college was a possibility for her until she heard about BYU-Pathway. Shortly after registering, she realized she was learning through both study and faith.
President Oaks teaches that there are two ways of gaining knowledge: through scientific discovery and through spiritual truths that begin with faith in God.Liliana experienced this as she studied late one night: “I closed my laptop and thought, ‘Lord, you know I’ve tried hard, but I can’t do it. I’m too tired, and I don’t understand anything.’” As she was about to leave, she felt she should try one more time.
“To my surprise, I could see what I had to do. When I finished, I knew that I had not done it alone. I knew that God had helped me to understand, [and] Jesus Christ was my partner.”
