O ne a nna kwa New York ka nako eo mme a ithuta ka “Ponatshegelo” mo baanamisa efangele ba ba neng ba direla mo kgaolong. Dingwaga morago, o ne a bua ka dikgatiso tsa gagwe ka tshenolo e:

“Ke ne ka rutwa go tswa mo bongwaneng jwa me gore go na le Legodimo le le lengwe le Hele e le nngwe, le go bolelelwa gore baikepi botlhe ba na le kotlhao e le nngwe le kgalalelo e le nngwe ya basiami. …

“… Fa ke bala ponatshegelo … , e ne ya sedimosetsa tlhaloganyo ya me mme ya nneela boitumelo jo bogolo, go ne ga bonala mo go nna gore Modimo yo o senoletseng motho melawana ena o botlhale, O siame le boammaruri, O na le yotlhe mekgwa e e gaisang le tlhaloganyo e e siameng le kitso, ke na ka ikutlwa gore Ga a fetoge ka lorato, boutlwelotlhoko, tshiamo le katlholo, mme ke ne ka ikutlwa ke rata Morena go feta jaaka pele mo botshelong jwa me.”

“Ponatshegelo [ke] tshenolo e e neelang lesedi le le ntsi, boammaaruri jo bontsi le melawana e mentsi go feta tshenolo epe e e mo bukeng epe e re kileng ra e bala. E sinosetsa tlhaloganyo tsa rona diemo tsa rona tsa nako e, kwa re tswang teng, gore ke eng re le fa, le kwa re yang teng. Motho mongwe le mongwe o ka itse ka tshenolo eo gore karolo le diemo tsa gagwe e tla nna dife.”

“Pele ga ke bona Joseph ke ne ka re ga ke kgathale gore o dingwaga tse kae, kgotsa o monnyennyane go le kae; ke ne ke sa kgathale gore o lebega jang—gore a moriri wa gagwe o moleele kgotsa o mokhutshwane; monna yo o neng a ntshetsha pele tshenolo eo [ponatshegelo e e gatisitsweng mo tsetlana 76] ke moperofeti wa Modimo. Ke ne ke itse ka bo nna.”

Mme ope yo a ka sekeng a amogela botlalo jwa efangele le go ema jaaka masole a dinatla mo tirong ya ga Keresete ga a kake a nna mo boleng teng jwa ga Rara le Morwa. Mme go na le lefelo le le baakanyeditsweng botlhe ba ba sa amogelang, mme ke lefelo la kgalalelo e e kwa tlase go na le go nna mo bogosing jwa Selesetiale. Ga ke kake ka leka go bua go feta fa mabapi le dilo tse jaaka di setse di gatisiwa go ne jaanong mme di tswela pele go ya mo lefatsheng. Mme gongwe o tlaa nna le monyetla wa go ipalela ka bo wena, mme fa o ka dira jalo, ke solofela gore o tlaa bala ka kelotlhoko le pelo e e rapelang, gonne dilo tse di tshwanelwa ke go lemogiwa. Mme ke eletsa gore o batle mo go tsone, gonne ke gone mo go neelang boitumelo mo lefatsheng le le mo lefatsheng le le tlaa tlang.”
