Taem mi tingtingbak, mi glad tumas long Jimi mo Son mo wanem tufala i glad blong mekem. Tufala i kam hiro long mi.

Wanwan i bin glad blong kam wan man we i klin inaf blong tekem prishud folem oda blong God we i moa tabu long evriwan.²

Blongtekem, i minim blong karem hevi wok blong wanem oli stap holem. Hem i wan tabu tras blong tekem prishud, we i olgeta paoa mo atoriti blong God. Tingting long hemia: prishud we oli pasem long yumi i semmak paoa mo atoriti we God i yusum blong krietem wol ia mo ol nara wol, blong rulum ol heven mo wol, mo blong mekem ol pikinini blong Hem we oli stap obei oli kam olsem wan god.³

I no longtaem i pas, Wendi mo mi i stap long wan miting we man we i plei piano i rere i stap, i rere blong plei piano long fas hym. Ae blong hem i stap long miusik, fingga blong hem long ol ki. Hem i stat prestem ki, be i no gat saon. Mi talem slo long Wendi, “Paoa i no gat.” Mi talem se i gat wan samting we i stopem lektrik paoa blong kasem piano.

Ol brata. I semmak. Mi fraet se i gat plante man tumas we oli givimatoriti blong prishud long olgeta, be oli no gat prishud paoa from se paoa i stop samples from fasin blong stap les, no stap ones, gat hae tingting, gat o mekem rabis samting, o stap wari tumas from ol samting blong wol.

Mi fraet se i gat tumas man we i kasem prishud we oli mekem smol wok nomo o no gat wok nating blong developem paoa blong kasem ol paoa blong heven. Mi wari long evriwan we oli no klin long tingting blong olgeta, filing o aksen blong olgeta, o oli daonem waef o pikinini blong olgeta, nao oli katemaot paoa blong prishud.

Mi fraet se plante tumas oli salem fridom blong joes blong olgeta long enemi, mo oli stap talem tru long aksen blong olgeta: “Mi kea moa blong lukluk long wanem mi wantem bitim blong tekem paoa blong Sevya blong blesem ol narawan.”

?From wanem nao wan man bae i westem dei blong hem mo agri blong kakae supsup⁶ blong Esao taem we oli trastem hem se hem i gat paoa blong kasem evriwan long ol blesing blong Ebraham?⁷

Mi askem strong long wanwan long yufala blong laef long level blong ol spesel janis we yufala i gat olsem man we i kasem prishud.

Traem tingting hamas bae Hem i glad sapos yu askem Hem blong tijim yu abaot ol prishud ki, atoriti mo paoa blong yu stap gotru long ol odinens blong Melkesedek Prishud insaed long tempol.¹⁵ Traem tingting hamas moa paoa blong prishud bae i blong yu.

?Yu yu glad blong folem eksampol blong Presiden Tomas S. Monson blong stap givim seves long ol narawan? Blong plante yia hem i tekem longfala rod i go hom, i stap folem ol kwaet toktok blong Spirit blong kasem doa blong haos blong wan, mo harem toktok olsem: “?Hao nao yu save se aniveseri blong ded blong gel blong mifala?” o “?Hao nao yu save se i betdei blong mi?” Mo sapos i tru se yu wantem moa prishud paoa, bae yu lukaotgud mo kea long waef blong yu, akseptem tugeta, hem mo advaes blong hem.

Sapos yumi putum tingting blong yumi i stap daon long fored blong Lod, mo askem Hem blong tijim yumi, bae Hem i soem long yumi olsem wanem blongyumisave yusum paoa blong Hem plante moa.

Long ol las dei ia, yumi save se bae i gat graon i seksek long ol defren ples.¹⁶ Maet wan long ol ples ia, i stret hom blong yumi, we graon i seksek long saed blong filing, faenens, o spirit. Paoa blong prishud i save mekem solwota i kwaet mo sarem ol hol long graon. Prishud paoa i save mekem ol maen oli kam kwaet mo i save sarem soa long hat blong olgeta we yumi lavem.

?Yumi, yumi wantem blong prea, livim kakae, stadi, luklukgud, wosip mo givim seves olsem ol man blong God blong mekem se yumi save gat kaen prishud paoa ia? From se tu smol gel i wantem tumas blong sil wetem famli blong tufala, papa mo brata blong tufala i glad blong pem praes blong kasem mo tekem tabu Melkesedek Prishud.
