Twerɛns ne kyerɛsɛ “Kyerɛ abɔfra no ɔkwan a ɔmfa soɔ: na sɛ onyini a ɔremfiri so.”6
“Na afei ɛnam sɛ wɔka asɛm no a ɛtumi ma nkurɔfoɔ no yɛ deɛ ɛyɛ nokware—aane, na ɛnya tumi kɛseɛ wɔ nkurɔfoɔ no adwene so kyɛn akofena, anaa biribifoforɔ biara a ato wɔn—ɛno nti Alma dwenee sɛ ɛbɛhia sɛ wɔde Onyankopɔn asɛm no mu tumi no bɛyɛ adwuma ahwɛ.”7

Nkɛntɛnsoɔ no a yɛwɔ wɔ yɛn mma so no wɔ tumi paa, wɔ berɛ a wɔhunu yɛn wɔ apam kwan no so. Mormon Nwoma no mu Ɔkɔmhyɛni Yakob yɛ saa teneneeyɛ nhwɛsoɔ no bia. Ne babarima Enos twerɛɛ nsuansoɔ a ɛnam ne papa nkyerɛkyerɛ mu:

Enos ne Lamanfoɔ mmabunu akofoɔ nyaa ahoɔden nam wɔn awofoɔ gyedie a ɛboa maa wɔdii wɔn ara wɔn gyedie nsɔhwɛ mu nkonim.
Wɔahyira yɛn nam Yesu Kristo nsɛmpa a wasan de aba bio wɔ yɛn mmerɛ mu, a ɛpagya yɛn wɔ berɛ a yɛn abamu abuo anaasɛ yɛwɔ amaneɛ mu. Wɔn nhwɛsoɔ ahodoɔ a ɛfa ankorankorɛbinom gyedie a ɛwɔ Mormon Nwoma no mu no, wɔama yɛn ahotɔsoɔ sɛ yɛnpem kɔ yɛn anim wɔ yɛn gyedie nsɔhwɛ mu a yɛn brɛ bɛso.
Wɔ ɛbɔ bosome no mu no, me ne me yere kɔgyaa Otitenani David A. Bednar wɔ berɛ a na wɔde Haiti Port-au-Prince Tempol no rehyɛ Onyankopɔn nsa no.
