Wofri nsuo no mu no, na wagye ɔfrɛ foforɔ atom sɛ wobɛsom. Sɛ Onyankopɔn apamhyɛni baa foforɔ yi, wohyɛɛbɔ sɛna wɔgyee dwumadie bi wɔ Yesu Kristo Asɔre A Ɛwɔ Hɔ Ma Awieɛ Mmerɛ yi mu Ahoteefoɔno mu, a ɛmaa wɔgyee wo too mu sɛ asɔreba.

Ɔrekasa kyerɛ nnuammaa no, Titena Russell M. Nelson bɔɔ ɔfrɛ a Awurade afrɛ wɔn sɛ wɔ bɛka ne ho wɔ n’adwuma mu. Titena Russell M. Nelson kyerɛɛ wofrɛ no kwan yi so: “Awurade kaa sɛ, ‘M’adwuma ne manimuonyam nesɛ mede onipa a ɛnnwuo tebea ne nkwa a ɛnni awiaeɛ bɛba.’’ (Mose 1:39.) Ɛno nti Ne babaa a ɔwɔ ahuhuakyɛ a ɔyɛ ne suafoɔ bɛtumi aka nokorɛ mu sɛ, m’adwuma ne m’animuonyam ne sɛ mɛboa ama m’adɔfo aduru saa ɔsoro botaeɛ no.

Wontumi nhunu berɛ anaasɛ berɛ tenten a woara wo nyamedwuma bɛgyina ɔsom so sɛ ɛna, ɔkandifoɔ anaasɛ onuabaa hwɛsofoɔ.

Mahwɛ ahunu yie sɛ, me yere, Kathleen, adi saa ɔhyɛ a wɔdemaa yɛn Agya mmammaa no so. Ɛyɛ mesɛ safoa no yɛ nsɛm a ɔka sɛ “Ɔnwene ne dɔteɛteasefoɔ ma ɛyi n’anidasoɔ a ɔwɔ no adi wɔ ɔne Onyankopɔn adwuma kyɛfa no mu.” Wanhyɛ obi dabiarada. Ɔnweneeɛ.
