Ekyir no hɔn nokwar abrabɔ no bɔboa hɔn mba ma woehu asɛmpa no nokwar ama hɔnho.
Mberantsɛ na nkataasia, hom ntsie nkɔnhyɛnyi no ndɛ a ɔrekasa kyerɛ hom. Hom nsũa nhwehwɛ nokwar krɔnkrɔn na hom nhwehwɛ dɛ wɔbɛtse asɛmpa no ase ama homho. President Nelson tuu fo ndaansa yi dɛ: “Ebɛn nyansa na hom hia? … Hom ndzi Nkɔnhyɛnyi Joseph ne fasusu do. Hom nhwehwɛ bea a hɔ komm. … Hom mbrɛ homho adze wɔ Nyankopɔn enyim. Hom nhue hom akoma ngu hom Ɔsor Egya do.

Awofo a wɔwɔ mba a woefi ahyɛmudzi anamɔn kwan no do no, hom nsan bɔkɔɔ. Hom mboa hɔn ma wɔntse asɛmpa no nokwar ase Hyɛ ase sesei; ɔnnka ekyir koraa da.
Hɛn tsenenee fasusu ɔbra botum ayɛ nsesa kɛse. President Nelson akã dɛ: “Dɛ yɛyɛ Latter-day Saintfo no, wɔaka hɛn hɔ dɛ yɛdwen ‘asɔr’ ho dɛ adze bi a osi wɔ hɛn nhyiamu-adan mu, a dza osi wɔ fie no boa. Yehia nsesa wɔ nhwɛdo yi ho.

Kyerɛwsɛm no kyerɛkyerɛ dɛ, “Tsetse abofra wɔ ɔkwan a ɔwɔ dɛ ɔfa do no do: na sɛ onyin mpo a, ɔnnkɛdan efi ho.’’6
Wɔsan so se dɛ, ‘Na afei, sɛ wɔkã asɛm no a onya tum kɛse bi wɔ nkorɔfo no do ma ogya hɔn ma wɔyɛ dza ɔtsen—nyew, onya tum kɛse wɔ dɔm no hɔn adwen do sen nkrantsee, anaa adze biara a oesi hɔn do pɛn—dɛm ntsi Alma hun dɛ obeye dɛ wɔdze Nyame n’asɛm no nokwar no bedzi dwuma ahwɛ.’’7
Wɔkã asɛm bi fa basia bi ho wɔ India a nna ɔyɛ no atseetsee dɛ ne babanyin dzi esikyire dodowdo. Mpɛn dodow a ɔkãa kyerɛɛ no dɛ ongyaa mmfa ho no, ɔkɔr do nyaa akɔndɔ dzii esikyire no. N’abagura koraa mu no, osii gyinae dɛ ɔdze ne babanyin no bɔkɔ ekohu banyin nyansafo bi a odzi no nyi.
Ɔbɛɛn no na ɔkãa dɛ, “Owura, me babanyin dzi tɔfe dodow. Meserɛ ana ibotum aka akyerɛ no ma oegyae dzi a?
Otsiee ɔbaa no yie ara, na afei ɔkãa kyerɛɛ ne babanyin no dɛ, “Kɔ fie na san bra adapɛn ebien ntamu.’’
Ɔbaa no dze ne babanyin no kɔr fie, yɛɛ basaa na nna onnhu siantsir kor a ɔannkã annkyerɛ ne babanyin no dɛ onngyae tɔfe dzi.
Adapɛn ebien no wɔsaan hɔn ekyir bae. Nyansafo no hwɛɛ banyinba no tsenn na ɔkãa dɛ, “Banyinba, ɔwɔ dɛ egyae tɔfe dodow no dzi. Ɔnnyɛ mma w’apɔwmudzen.

Tum mbordo wɔ nhyɛdo a yɛwɔ no wɔ hɛn mba do ber a wohu hɛn dɛ yɛnantsew nokwar mu ara wɔ ahyɛmudzi ananmɔn kwan no do. Mormon Nwoma nkɔnhyɛnyi Jacob yɛ tsenenee a ɔtse dɛm ho fasusu. Ne babanyin Enos kyerɛɛw n’egya ne nhyɛdo no nsunsuando:
“Emi, Enos, minyim dɛ m’egya yɛ nyimpa a odzi pɛrpɛr—na ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ me wɔ ne kasaa mu, na hwɛ, ɔyɛn me wɔ Ewuradze so ho setsie nye kasa kyerɛ mu—na nhyira nkã me Nyame ne dzin wɔ ho. …
“… Nna nsɛm a daa metse dɛ m’egya rekã a ɔfa onnyiewiei nkwa ho, na ahotseweefo hɔn ndaamba dɛw a wobedzi ho adwen hyɛɛ m’akoma mã.’’8
Mberantsɛ akokodurfo no hɔn nãnom dze asɛmpa no bɔɔ bra, na nokwardzi hyɛɛ hɔn mba no mã. Hɔn banodzifo bɔɔ amandzɛɛ dɛ:
“Hɔn nãnom akyerɛkyerɛ hɔn dɛ sɛ wonya gyedzi a, Nyankopɔn bɛgye hɔn.
“Na wɔkaa nsɛm a hɔn nãnom kãa kyerɛɛ me no na wɔsee me dɛ: Yenngye kyim dɛ hɛn nãnom no nyim dɛm.”9
Enos na mberantsɛ akokodurfo no hɔn awofo hɔn gyedzi na ɔhyɛɛ hɔn dzen, a ɔboaa hɔn ma wonya hɔnara hɔn nsɔhwɛ ho mboa.
