Ewe Achasefanin Jises Kraist a anisi ne apungano me apochokuna kich seni kinasach kewe, ngawenon ngun, me netip mi tatakis.
A sinei, non ew napanap ese wor emon a weweiti, met a auchea rech, emon me emon, ren ach sipwe sopweno non fansoun ekkesiwin. Esap usun chiechiach me atongeach, ewe Chon Amanau esap chok fitikich ne netipeta, nge I apwan unusen weweoch, pwe I afen nom ian sia nom ian. Fiti an riaffou ren ach tipis, Jises Kraist a pwan fetan won iteiten aan, kuna riaffou me a mefi metek meinsin—non pekin futuk, memmef, me ngun—sipwe tongeni weri non ei manau.
Preseten Boyd K. Packer a aiti: “Ewe kirekirech me chenin Jises Kraist rese aukuk ngeni meinisin mi tipis, … , nge a aunusa ewe pwonen kinamwe fochofoch ngeni meinisin ion mi etiwa me tapweno mwirin. … An umoumoch ina ewe echikar mi nap, pwan mwo ngeni ekkewe mi nimoch mi feiengaw.”
Non ei manau, sise tongeni nemenimet a fis ngenikich, nge sia tongeni nemeni ifa usun sia ponueni ewe siwin non manauach. Ei ese wewen pwe ekkewe osukosuk me sosot sia weri ese wor auchear me ra mecheres ach sipwe awesi. Ese wewen sipwe ngaseni metek ika weiresin netip. A wewen pwe mi wor popun sipwe apinukunuk me pokiten ewe Achasefan an Jises Kraist, sa tongeni mwokutuno mwach me kuta fansoun mi mwurino—o ranin pwapwa, saram, me pwapwa esemuch.
Non Mosaia sa aneani usun Alma, ewe noun King Noah pris akkom, me noun kewe aramas, ekkewe “ra aurour me ewe Samon … [,] me feino ngeni non ewe fonupon mwen ekkewe sounfiun king Noah” Mwirin wanu ran, “ra feito ngeni … ew fonu mi ningoch me menoch” ikewe “ra aueta imwer kewe imw mangaku, me poputa ne anganga ewe puun, me poputa ne kau imw.”
Nonnomur iei a ochuno. Ra etiwa ewe kapas allimen Jises Kraist. Ra fen papatais ren ewe pwon mi pin pwe repwe angang ngeni ewe Samon me aneasochisi an kewe annuk. Ra chommongono me fokkun feioch non ewe fonu.”
Nge, nonnomur a muttir siwin. “Ekkewe sounfiun chon Laman ra nom non kianin ewe neni.”Alma me noun kewe aramas ra nom non fotek, iwe “a fokkun pochokun ar kewe riaffou iwe ra poputa ne sio ngeni Kot.” Ra pwan annuk me ren ekkewe chon kanapuser pwe repwe kouno ne iotek, ika resap kouno, “ion chok epwe pwa pwe a kokkori Kot epwe ninnino.”Alma me noun kewe aramas rese fori och mettoch ar angei nonnomur we. Ifa usun ar ponueni?
Rese tipi ngeni Kot, nge era sopweno ne kun ngeni me “wau unusen netiper ngeni i.” Ponuen ar nuku me iotek, ewe Samon a ponueni “Oupwe kinamwe. … Upwe. … ekisano ekkewe achou minne ra wata won afaremi, pwe ousap tongeni mefir me won nukunupemi.” Mwirin, “ewe Samon a apochokunareno pwe repwe tongeni engino ngeni achour kewe ren mecheres, iwe ra fangeta fiti pwapwa me fiti tipepos ngeni mochenin ewe Samon meinisin.”Iei mwo rese tou seni ewe fotek, ren ar ngeni kun ngeni ewe Samon, me esap seni ewe Samon, ra kuna feiochun ar mochen meren an ewe Samon mirit.
Elter Dallin H. Oaks a afanafana “Ekkewe feiochun chikar a feito non chommong napanap, pwe emon me emon kich sipwe esinna, a feito seni I a tongeikich. Fan ekkoch ach ‘safei’ a ekisano ach semwen ika chunata osochow. Nge fan ekoch sia ‘chikar’ ren ach angei pochokun ika weweoch ika nikitu ne pwarata chunata ekkewe weires mi nom rech.”
Amuchunon, “a fokkun pochokun ar nuku me ar tipepos,” Alma me noun kewe aramas ra ngaseno me ren ewe Samon, “ra kinisou,” “pun ra fen nom non fotek, iwe ese wor emon a tongeni angasereno tiwenon chok ewe Samon ar Kot.”
Met mi sokkono pwe, fan chommong, ir ekkewe mi nom non osupwang ra chok muttir kun seni ewe popun aninis—ach Chon Amanau, Jises Kraist. Ew uwokisn mi itefouno usun ewe serepenit mecha a aiti kich pwe mi wor ach pungun finata nupwen sia weri osukosuk.

[Nge mi namwot repwe pwisin fini.] Iwe chommong ra nengeni me manau.
“Nge mi chommong ekkewe ir mi fokkun pochokununo pwe rese mochen nengeni, iei minne ra mano.”
Usun ekkewe aramasen Israel nom, a wor ach pesepes ne neneta ngeni ewe Chon Amanau pwe sipwe manaw—pun osan we a ngeni kich mi mecheres o epwe ngeni kich osach mi pwas, pwan mo nupwen osach mi chou.

Non ekkei ranin soponon, ewe Samon a fang ngeni kich chomong sokun feioch, nouch “serepenit mecha,” ir meinsin ra anisikich ne sacheta ngeni Kraist me anonga ach nuku non I. Ach weri osukosuken manau esap usun sipwe amonungaw seni met mi ennet nge sipwe finata ne anonga ach nuku non me ewe nongonong sipwe kauta won.
