Yɛ dɔ wo, Elder Kearon. Mɛtumi mfɛm saa ɛnne no simma 10?
Wɔpere hwehwɛɛ Anwanwadeɛ
Wɔ Apam Foforɔ no mu no yɛte Bartimeo a na n’ani afira no ho asɛm, a ɔteaɛm frɛɛ Yesu sɛ ɔpɛ anwanwadeɛ. “Yesu kakyerɛɛ no sɛ, Kɔ wo kwan; wo gyedie ate wo ho. Na ntɛm ara ɔhunuu adeɛ.”
Berɛ foforɔ nso, ɔbarima bi a ɔwɔ Betsaida kɔn dɔɔ sɛ ɔbɛsa no yareɛ. Nea ɛne yei bɔ abira no, anwanwadeɛ yi amma amonom hɔ ara Mmom no, Yesu hyiraa no mprenu so ansa na “wɔresan de no aba.”
Wɔ nhwɛsoɔ a ɛto so mmiɛnsa mu no, Ɔsomafoɔ Paulo “ɔsrɛɛ Awurade mprɛnsa” wɔ n’amanehunu mu, na nanso, sɛnea yɛnim no, wɔannye n’adesrɛ a ɛfiri aniberesɛm no so
Nnipa ahodoɔ mmiɛnsa. Suahunu ahodoɔ mmiɛnsa a ɛyɛ sononko.
Enti, asɛmmisa yi: Adɛn nti na ebinom nya anwanwadeɛ a wɔn kɔn dɔ no ntɛm, berɛ a ebinom nso de boasetɔ gyina mu, twɛn Awurade? Ebia yɛnnim nea enti a, nanso anisɔ mu no, yɛnim Nea “ɔdɔ [yɛn]” na “[ɔyɛ] biribiara ma [yɛn] yiedie ne anigyeɛ.”
Ɔsoro Atirimpɔ Ahodoɔ
Onyankopɔn a ɔhu awieɛ no firi mfitiaseɛ no , ma awerɛhyemu, “W’ahohiahia ne w’amanehunu bɛyɛ berɛ tiaa bi kɛkɛ,” na wɔbɛhyira wo wɔho na woanya ho mfasoɔ.”
Berɛ a ɔboaa yɛn ma yɛnya nteaseɛ foforɔ wɔ yɛn sɔhwɛ ahodoɔ mu no, Ɛlda Orson F. Whitney kyerɛkyerɛeɛ sɛ: “Ɛyaw biara a yɛhu, sɔhwɛ biara a yɛhyia no nsɛe. Ɛkyerɛkyerɛ yɛn wɔ nwomasua mu. Ne nyinaa a yɛyɛ [boasetɔ] yɛkɔduru, ɛkyekyere yɛn suban, ɛte yɛn akoma ho, ɛtrɛ yɛn akra mu, na ɛma yɛyɛ ayamyɛfoɔ ne adɔyɛfoɔ kɛse.

Berɛ a Ɔsomafoɔ Paulo te aseɛ sɛ “Kristo tumi [bɛtra [no] so” wɔ n’amanehunu mu no, ɔde ahobrɛase kae sɛ, “Na sɛ meyɛ mmerɛ a, ɛno na meyɛ den.”
Asetena mu sɔhwɛ ahodoɔ di yɛn ho adanseɛ. Agyenkwa no mpo “suaa sotie” na wɔmaa no “yɛɛ pɛ ɛnam amanehunu so.”
Na da bi Ɔde ayamhyehyeɛ bɛpae mu aka, “Hwɛ, masiesie wo, mapa wo wɔ amanehunu fononoo mu.”
Onyankopɔn ɔsoro atirimpɔn ahodoɔ mu ahotosoɔ a wɔba no home anidasoɔ kɔ akra a wɔabrɛ mu na ɛkanyan bo a wɔasi wɔ awerɛhoɔ ne akomayareɛ mmerɛ mu.
Ɔsoro Adwene Ahodoɔ
Mfeɛ bi a atwam no, Ɛlda Russell M. Nelson kaa saa nhunumu a ɛsom boɔ yi: “Berɛ a yɛde daa adwene hwɛ nneɛma nyina ara no, ɛbɛma yɛn adesoa ayɛ hare kɛseɛ.”
Nansa yi ara na me ne me yere Jill hunuu saa nokorɛ yi wɔ Holly ne Rick Porter nokorɛdie asetena mu, a wɔn babarima Trey a wadi mfeɛ 12 wuiiɛ wɔ ogya a ɛyɛ awerɛhoɔ mu. Nsa ne nan ahye kɛseɛ wɔ akokoɔduru mmɔdemmɔ sɛ ɔbɛgye ne babarima dɔfoɔ no nkwa nti, Holly dii adanseɛ wɔ ward sacrament nhyiamu ase wɔ asomdwoeɛ ne anigyeɛ kɛseɛ a Awurade hwiee guu n’abusua so wɔ wɔn awerɛhoɔ mu no ho, de nsɛm te sɛ anwanwadeɛ, a wontumi nnye nni, na ɛyɛ nwanwa.
Wɔde adwene yi bɛsii ɛna a ɔsombo yi awerɛhoɔ a ɔntumi nnyina ano no ananmu de asomdwoeɛ a ɛborosoɔ sii ananmu: “Me nsa nyɛ nsa a ɛgye nkwa. Saa nsa no yɛ Agyenkwa no dea! Sɛ anka mɛhwɛ m’akutwa no sɛ nkaeɛ a ɛfa deɛ m’antumi anyɛ ho no, me kaee nkutwa a m’Agyenkwa faa mu no.”
Holly adansedie no ma yɛn diyifoɔ bɔhyɛ no ba mu: “Sɛnea mususu sɛ ɔsoro deɛ no, mo bɛhu sɔhwɛ ne ɔsɔretia wɔ ɔkwan foforɔ so.”
Elder D. Todd Christofferson kaa sɛ: “Megye di sɛ asɛmdenden a ɛne sɛ yɛbɛdi nkonim na yɛanya nkɔsoɔ afiri amanehunu mu no yɛɛ yɛn dɛ berɛ a Onyankopɔn de Ne nkwagyeɛ nhyehyɛeɛ no too dwa wɔ wiase a na ɛreba ansa na wɔrewuo no. Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛdi saa asɛmdenden no ho dwuma seesei a yɛnim sɛ yɛn Soro Agya bɛboa yɛn. Nanso ɛho hia sɛ yɛdane kɔ Ne nkyɛn. Sɛ Onyankopɔn nni hɔ a, amanehunu ne amanehunu mu suahunu ahodoɔ a ɛyɛ sum no taa yɛ abasamtuo, abambuo, ne awerɛhoɔ mpo.”.”
Ɔsoro Nnyinasosɛm ahodoɔ
Sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mɛkwati esum a ɛnni abotɔyamu na mmom manya asomdwoeɛ, anidasoɔ, ne anigyeɛ kɛseɛ mpo wɔ asetena mu nsɛmdenden a emu yɛ den mu no, mekyɛ ɔsoro nnyinasosɛm mmiɛnsa sɛ nsatoɔ.
Baako—gyidie a emu yɛ den nam Yesu Kristo a wɔde di kan no so na ɛba. “Monhwɛ me wɔ adwene biara mu,” Ɔpae mu ka; “nnye akyinnyeɛ, mo nnsuro.” Titenani Nelson akyerɛkyerɛ sɛ:
“[Yɛn] daa nkwa gyina [yɛn] gyedie wɔ [Kristo] ne Ne Mpata mu so,” Titenani Nelson kaa saa.”
Berɛ a me ne ɛyaw a emu yɛ den a ɛfiri me nnansa yi pira mu no adi aperepere no, mate anisɔ a emu dɔ mpo nka wɔ Yesu Kristo ne Ne Mpata akyɛdeɛ a yɛnte aseɛ no ho. Dwene ho! Agyenkwa no huu amane wɔ ‘ɛyaw ne amanehunu ne nsɔhwɛ ahodoɔ nyinaa mu’ sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɔbɛtumi akyekye yɛn werɛ, asa yɛn yareɛ, [na] agye yɛn wɔ ahohia berɛ mu.”
Ɔtoaa so sɛ: “Me pira no ama masusu ‘Israel Kronkronni no kɛseyɛ’ ho mpɛn pii. M’ayaresa berɛ mu no, Awurade ada Ne soro tumi adi wɔ akwan a asomdwoeɛ ne akyinnyeɛ nni ho.”
“Wiase mu na mo bɛnya ahohiahia: na momma mo bo ntɔ mo yam,” yɛn Agyenkwa hyɛ nkuran; “Madi wiase so nkonim.”
Nea ɛto so mmienu—anidasoɔ a ɛhyerɛn nam yɛn daa nkrabea a yɛbɛnya wɔ yɛn adwene mu no so na ɛba. Wɔ tumi a ɛwɔ awosuo mu a yɛreka “yɛn Agya nhyira a wɔahyɛ ho bɔ a ɛyɛ nwanwa ho anisoadehunu wɔ yɛn ani so da biara da,” Onuabaa Linda Reeves dii adanseɛ sɛ: “Mennim deɛ enti a yɛwɔ sɔhwɛ bebree a yɛwɔ no, nanso ɛyɛ m’ankasa me atenka sɛ akatua no yɛ kɛseɛ paa, anigyeɛ ne deɛ ɛboro yɛn nteaseɛ so ara ma saa akatua da no, yɛbɛte nka sɛ yɛbɛka akyerɛ yɛn Agya mmɔborɔhunufoɔ, ɔdɔfoɔ, ‘So ɛno ara ne nea na wɔhwehwɛ?’ Deɛn na ɛbɛyɛ asɛm deɛ yɛhunuu amane wɔ ha sɛ, awieeɛ koraa no, saa sɔhwɛ no ma yɛfata ma daa nkwa wɔ Onyankopɔn ahennie mu?”
Titenani Nelson kyɛɛ saa nhunumuu yi: “Monsusu Awurade mmuaeɛ a ɔde maa Joseph Smith berɛ a ɔsrɛɛ ahotɔ wɔ Liberty Afiase no ho. Awurade kyerɛkyerɛɛ Nkɔmhyɛni no sɛ ne nneyɛe a ɛnyɛ nnipa deɛ no bɛma wanya suahunu na ayɛ ne yiedie. ‘Sɛ wogyina ano yie a,’ Awurade hyɛɛ bɔ sɛ, ‘Onyankopɔn bɛma wo so wɔ soro.’ Na Awurade rekyerɛkyerɛ Yosef sɛ ɔnwene ɔsoro deɛ ho na ɔnyɛ daa akatua ho mfonini wɔ n’adwene mu sene sɛ ɔde n’adwene bɛsi da no mu nsɛmdenden a ɛyɛ ya no so.”
Nsusuyɛ a Yosef sesaeɛ no de ahoteɛ a emu dɔ baeɛ, sɛnea ɛda adi wɔ krataa yi mu no: “Berɛ a wɔato afiase bi afasuo mu abosome num akyi no ɛte sɛ nea me akoma bɛyɛ mrɛ berɛ nyinaa wɔ yei akyi sene berɛ biara. Mesusu sɛ anka merentumi nte nka sɛnea mete mprempren no da sɛ manhu bɔne a mahu amane no a.”
Mmiɛnsa—tumi kɛseɛ firi anigyeɛ a wɔde wɔn adwene si so no so. Wɔ daa nnɔnhwere a ɛho hia sen biara, a ɛyɛ ya mu no, yɛn Agyenkwa no antwe ne ho na mmom ɔnom kuruwa a ɛyɛ nwononwono no bi. Ɔyɛɛ nosɛn? Yesua sɛ, “Anigyeɛ a wɔde sii n’anim nti [Kristo] gyinaa asɛnnua no ano,” N’apɛdeɛ “agya no apɛdeɛ a wɔbɛmene no.”
Saa kasasin “memenee” yi kanyan me kɛse. M’anigye no yɛɛ kɛse berɛ a mehunuu sɛ wɔ Spania kasa mu no, wɔkyerɛ “wɔamene” ase sɛ “wɔadi”; wɔ German kasa mu no, sɛ “wɔawe.” Enti, berɛ a asetena mu nsɛmdenden yɛ ya kɛse na ɛboro so no, Mekae Awurade bɔhyɛ no—sɛ “ɛsɛ sɛ yehu amanehunu biara, gye sɛ wɔmene [wɔsa no, wɔwe, na wɔmene] Kristo anigyeɛ mu.”
Mehu saa anigyeɛ yi wɔ mo mu pii mu, a “[ɛsɔre tia] owuo nteaseɛ,” ɛwom mpo sɛ wɔnnya nyi wo kuruwa a ɛyɛ nwononwono no. Meda mo ase sɛ moadi mo apam so na mogyina hɔ sɛ adansefoɔ ma Onyankopɔn. Yɛda mo ase sɛ motenee mo nsa hyira yɛn nyinaa, berɛ a “awerɛhoɔ a aniwa ntumi nhu ahinta [wo] akoma a ɛyɛ komm mu.” Ɛfiri sɛ sɛ mode Agyenkwa no ahotɔ brɛ afoforɔ a, mobɛhunu ama mo ankasa, Titenani Camille Johnson kyerɛkyerɛɛ.
Ɔsoro Bɔhyɛ ahodoɔ
Afei, wo ne me nsan kɔ sakrament nhyiamu a yɛhunuu anwanwadeɛ a ɛfa Holly Porter abusua a Awurade boaa wɔn no ho. Wɔ gyinabea hɔ berɛ a na meredwendwen nea ebia mɛka de akyekye abusua nwanwasoɔ yi ne wɔn nnamfo ho no, this thought came: “Use the Savior’s words.” Enti mɛpɔn nnɛ sɛdeɛ meyɛɛ saa Homeda no, de Ne nsɛm, “a ɛsa ɔkra a wapira no yareɛ.”
“Mo a moayɛ adwumaden na adesoa asoa mo nyinaa, mommra me nkyɛn, na mɛma mo ahome.”
“Afei nso mɛbrɛ nnesoa a wɔde ato mo mmati so no ase, sɛ mpo worentumi nte wɔn nka wɔ w’akyi, berɛ mpo a wowɔ nkoasom mu; sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mobɛhunu nokorɛ sɛ me, Awurade Nyankopɔn, mɛsra me nkurɔfoɔ wɔ wɔn amanehunu mu.”
