Sister Kimball wadek en soukohpo padahk, me pid kekeirdahn lih en Mwomwodiso wet ni ketdo Keriau en Sounkomouro. Kerenlahng ni imwin rahno, peren mehlel pahn kipehdi lien Mwomwohdiso wet me kitail kin wie koskosoia sangete mahs.

I pahn ehukihiong kitail ekis me Presiden Kimball mahsanih:

“Riei lihoko, I kak padahkihiong Kumwail mehkot me saikinte me nda de wia nin duwe met. Keirdahn Mwomwohdiso wet kohdo sang rehn lih mwahu kan me pahn towehda Mwomwohdiso wet. Met pahn wiawi ma lih akan pahn ahniki loaloapwoat oh kasalehda me re weksang lih teikan me sohte wia kisehn Mwomwohdiso wet.

“…Irail pahn wia… mehn karasepe mwahu ohn Mwomwohdiso wet oh pahn kesempwalohng tohtohlahn souleng kan oh keirdahn pali ngehn nan Mwomwodiso wet ni imwin rahn akan.”3

Pwehn oaroalapiadahte. Udahn e wia kokohp en soukohp men:

Pil miehte soangen aramas pwukat nan kempoakepahmwail oh mehn mpamwail kan.Re mwein sohte wia tohn Mwomwodiso wet met, ahpw e kesempwal kitail en ehu ohng irail. Ia mwomwen atail pahn wia atail pwukoah? Dahme kitail anahne wia? Presiden kimball padahngki soahng limau:

Mwurin ansou iu ah pahpah nohno mweipeseng. Ih eri liseianda, ahpw kin kangkangte winihkoa. Ehu pwohngo e tehkada uwen liseliping en ah mour oh nda, “Mwahuehr.” Ih eri kapakap oh peki sawas.

I peki rehmwail ni karakarahk kumwail en kin ansou koaros mihmi wasa me kumwail kak kehn Sapwelimen Koht limpoak ohng kumwail. Kumwail sohte kak kadowan kumwail sang limpoako. Ma kumwail pahn kehn Sapwelime limpoak, oh anosu me kumwail pahn poakohng Ih kumwail pahn men koluhla oh kapwaiada sapwelime kosonned kan. Ma ke pahn kapwaiada Sapwelime kosonned kan, E pahn kak doadoahngkin kitail ohng nan Sapwelime Doadoahk. Sapwelime pwukoah iei en ketkihiong mour soutik en aramas akan.
