Ew porous ua rong ekkoch ier a no a anisiei ne esinna me foffor won ekkewe aurour seni ewe Ngun mi Fel. Sister Bonne D. Parkin, Presetenin Fin Anisi Unus akkom, a aporousa ei porous:
“Susan, I emon chon tete a men angoch. Preseten [Spencer W.] Kimball a nom non an we wart. Non ew Raninfel, Susan a apareni pwe mi wor echo ufan minafo sekit.

“Me mwen Susan epwe soposopono, Sister Kimball a akounoi, wata poun won afaran, me apasa: ‘Susan, kosap auku ew ekiek mi kirekiroch.’”9
Ua sani ena! “Kosap auku ew ekiek mi kirekiroch.” Fan ekkoch nupwen ua mefi pwe upwe fori och mettoch fan iten emon, ua ekieki ika ew aurour seni ewe ngun ika ew chok ai ekiek.
