Introduction

Elder Chi Hong (Sam) Wong’s talk “Remember, Remember” is a beautifully structured message centered on one repeated invitation: to remember the Savior. Through five powerful “remember, remember” passages in the Book of Mormon, he teaches that remembering is not passive—it is active, covenantal, and transformative.

This lesson help is designed to help you teach this talk with depth and clarity. The message is broken into chronological discussion sections that follow the speaker’s natural progression. Each section includes longer, direct quotes from the talk, discussion questions, object lessons, and personal sharing prompts to encourage meaningful Relief Society conversation.

One of the greatest blessings of a lesson help like this is that it allows you to focus less on organizing content and more on ministering to the sisters in your class. With structure already in place, you can prayerfully select what will best invite the Spirit and help sisters reflect, share, and draw closer to Jesus Christ.

All quotes are taken directly from the talk provided.

Section 1: The Invitation to Remember the Savior

Teach

Elder Wong begins by centering Easter not only as a time to rejoice, but as a time to remember. He invites us to consider how God teaches us to remember and where those reminders are found.

Direct Quotes from the Talk

“Easter Sunday is the ultimate celebration of Jesus Christ’s redeeming mission, especially His Resurrection. The Easter season invites disciples of Jesus Christ not only to rejoice but to remember our Savior.

“What would God want us to remember? How would He let us know? Where would we find His reminders? About 10 years ago, as I pondered these questions, a clear thought came to my mind: He would put His reminders in the Book of Mormon.

The first “remember, remember” passage focuses on the blessings of obedience. Keeping God’s commandments leads to both temporal and spiritual blessings, and ultimately to eternal happiness with Him.

Direct Quotes from the Talk

“And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual; and if they hold out faithful to the end they are received into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending happiness. O remember, remember that these things are true; for the Lord God hath spoken it.”

The second reminder teaches that God’s commandments are strict, not to restrict us, but to guide and protect us. Elder Wong uses President Oaks’s kite analogy to illustrate how commandments anchor us.

Direct Quotes from the Talk

“O remember, remember, my son Helaman, how strict are the commandments of God. And he said: If ye will keep my commandments ye shall prosper in the land—but if ye keep not his commandments ye shall be cut off from his presence.”

“Jesus Christ stands at the very heart of God’s plan of salvation and exaltation. Every promise of redemption, every hope of resurrection, and every assurance of eternal life flows through Him.

Using a lesson help like this allows you to focus more on the sisters you teach and less on organizing the material. With clear sections, strong quotes, and meaningful prompts, you can create a lesson environment where women feel invited to reflect, share, and draw closer to Jesus Christ.
