Ɔkãa dɛ, “Naaso Ewuradze ne papayɛ kɛse no, ama mehu no ndwuma akɛse a ɔyɛ nwanwa no, na m’akoma atsẽa mu dɛ: O ɔwerɛhonyi a ɔtse dɛ emi! Nyew, m’akoma dzi awerɛhow osian mo honam ntsi; me kra dzi yaw osian m’emumuyɛ ntsi.”
Nna Nkɔnhyɛnyi Joseph Smith taa kã ne mbabun mu “afɔbu,” atsenkã ho asɛm “osian [ne] mberɛwyɛ na n’esintɔ ntsi.” Mbom nna Joseph n’esintɔ ho atsenkã na haw kã dza ogyaa no ma ɔdwendwenee, ɔyɛɛ nhwehwɛmu, osũae, na ɔbɔɔ mpaa.

Nuambanyin na nkyerɛbaa, Agyenkwa ne kan no botum asõ hɛn nyinara do, a hɛn gyinabew mmfa ho. President Jeffrey R. Holland kãa dɛ: “Onnkotum aba no dɛ ebɔdɔ koraa akyɛn bea a onnyiewiei kan no a Christ No Werdambɔ hyerɛn no nnkodu hɔ.”
Na nyia no a ɔgyee Célia n’akyɛdze, Mormon Nwoma no, a ɔanngye enyim dɛ ɔdze rema no no dze, nuabanyin yi kɔɔr do hun Ewuradze n’ehumbɔbɔr no mbordo.

Ber a yɛba Jesus Christ hɔ no, hɛn nokwar nnuho anamɔnkwan no begya hɛn koraa dze hɛn akɔ Agyenkwa no ne temple krɔnkrɔn mu.
Ebɛn tsenenee botae dɛ yɛbɔ mbɔdzen ma hɛnho atsew—dɛ yɛbɛfata nhyira ne mãhyɛ a ɔnam hɛn Ɔsor Egya na Ne Ba do a wɔma ɔba mu a ɔnam temple ahyɛmudzi krɔnkrɔn do no!
