Ac, tiac oa kuhtuh u sahyac kuh in ahollah akwuck lalos ac finne ke mwe luti lalos, akwuck lasr uh oreklac ke ma pwacye God El fahk muh tiac kuh in ikihlyuck.

Ip yohk ke luhlahlfongi ahksingucul luo lasr uh fahk lah luhlahlfongi lasr in ahkfuhlwactye wal luhlahp uh “ahkos, ahkfuhlwact, ac ahkkweye masap.” Tuhsruhk masap luhn mwet uh tiac kuh in oruh sie ma in nwacsnwacs ke God El fahk muh fokfok. Otwelah nuh ke mwe oaruiyuck yohk emet lasr—in luhngse ac kuhlwacnsap uh God—enenweyuck kuht in luhlahlfongi masap Lal nuh ke akwuck fal ke ohiyacsr. Nuh ke mwe srihkasrak, kuht oasr na ye sap muhtahl in tiac kalyei in kosro nuh sahyac kuh liye ma koluk finne ke mukwikwi an tiac oruh koluk se ye masap luhn acn ac muhtuhn facl ma kuht muhta we uh. Oacna in muh, masap uh ahkkweyelah ma pahngpahng “pahyuck luhn mukul nuh sin mukul kuh muhtwacn nuh sin muhtwacn uh” tiac ekuhllah masap in pahyuck luhn God kuh masap Lal ac akwuck fal lasr uh elyahkihn.

Luti se lal Prestuhn Thomas S. Monson orekmakihnyuck ke ohiyac sikyak se inge. Ke toeni luhlahp se inge ke yac 27 somlah ah, el fahkwack na suwohs: “Lwelah in oasr puhlaik lasr in laenwack sulaclah eye inse, puhlaik in loango ip yohk.
