Richard e aki ti kan kairiia iruwa n nakonako, e tangiria n aganiia te taneiai. Ma e tianaki bwa mwaitira ae na reiakinia n aron te bwai are a tangiria.

“I kona ni kairia ake a tangiria ni kan rinanon bwaai n te maiu aei nakon taabo ake aki bati noori, e taku,” “Aia atatai tao ana bon rangi ni matoatoa riki, ma e kona ni karekea te kaubwai ae rawata.”

Richard e namakinna bwa te maiu aei akea okorona, ao bon ana taneiai e a kaota te tua aei. Ngke ngaia ataein te kuura n reirei ae rietata, Richard e moana ana kakae bwa tera raoi oin maiura. E kawari taian Ekaretia aika a mwaiti n aki kunei bwaai ake e kakaai—ni karokoa e kaitibo ma mitinare.

Ana karo, e ngae, ngke a matoatoa ni kaaitaraa ibukin kaainakin te Ekaretia. A raraoma iroun natia te mwane ae te riki temanna ngkai e nang kiitana aiaonimaki. A raraoma bwa tera ae e na riki nakoian te maiu ae na roko. E rawata n aia katei ae a kakoaua bwa aroia imwiin te maiu aei e kaineti korakorana ma aroia n nebonebo are ti ana karaoia kanoaia aika a maiu.

Engae ngke e kaiangatoa ma ana utu, Richard e a tia n reke ana koaua ibukin te Tia Kamaiu ao tangirana ni kan Iriiria.

“Iesu Kristo bon te kawai,” e taku Richard. “Boni Ngaia Kairara ni Koaua n okira Tamara” (tara Ioane 14:6).

E rineia n iriira te Tia Kamaiu ao n bwabetitoaki, onimakinan te Uea are e na kairia nakon te kawai ni koaua engae ngke e tara ni kanganga.

Te wiiki imwiin bwabetitoana, e kakabwaiaki ma ana mwakuri ae tamaroa bwa te tia riboota n teuana te kambwana n rerio ae bubura i Taiwan. Karekean ana mwakuri aei e kakukureia ana utu, n ikotaki ma tamaroana ni bitakina are a nooria irouna, ana mwakuri aei e buokia ni katoka te unra imarenana ma ana utu. E kakorakora naba ana onimaki ao n tia reiakinna boonganan te reirei.

“Ngkana ti aki iriira Iesu Kristo,” e taku, “ana bon aki reke iroura arora aika a riai ao ni boongana ake ti kainnanoi.” Tao aaro aikai ana rangin kanganga, ma a bon riai ibukin raoiroira. (tara 2 Nibwaai 2:2; D&C 122:7).

Nakoia ake a iriira Richard rinanon marua ma kaaranga aika a tamaroa akea te nanokokoraki n reiakinna bwa maungan Taiwan akanne ake a ririeta ao ni katati nako meang a bon riki n te untaba n rabunan te aba are iaona aika uoua inanon te aonaaba. Te kabuebuea ae korakora ao rawawatana are e riki man ana totoko ae korakorate aonaaba ngke a tebenako rabunana akanne nakon atibu aika te sediment nakon te limestone, ngkanne nakon mabora are a riki iai n kinaaki te east coast aei. Ai bon aron naba te korakora are aki kona n nooraki are e ioa rabunan te aba, ngaiare e kawaerakei maunga aika ririeta nako karawa.

Engae ngke i Yushan ke Taroko te Baake ae bwain te Tautaeka, n are e mwakuri iai mai imwaina, Richard, e tangiria ni kotoi kakoaua bwa e kanga taian korakora akanne ni karaoa Taiwan ma i nano nako eta.

“Iai taian mwaake aika aekakin taian nao iaon bwaa ake kabanea n rierieta, ao iai bwain taari ngkoa ake a kuneaki ao kakoaua riki tabeua ibukin bwaai ake a mena i eta a bon tia naba ni mena inano. “E taku Richard, “Ngkana ko kan ota n taubukin te maunga, ko riai n ota moa ma inano, ibukina bwa anne are e riki iai taubukin te maunga.”

E kakoaua Richard bwa e bongana aei ibukina bwa ti tebo ma kabotauakin maiura aei. N taai ni kanganga e kona n ae tiaki ti ngaira iruwa nakon te maunga ma kanga bon te maunga naba, are a ororeaki ni korakora ao katikitiki are a karaoira ao ni kebutira nako karawa ngkana ti kona ni kekeiaki ma te taotaonaki n nano ao te onimaki. (tara Motiaea 23:21–22; D&C 121:7–8).

Man bwaai ake e a tia n rianona Richard e reiakinna bwa ti aki kona ni mwemwerake man te aonnaba aei n roko nakon te kabanea are ti kona n akea moa rinanon te maeka n aki mwengaraoi, n tabetai te maraki ae, ti a tia n rinanoi.

Ngkai te riboota n te rerio Richard e mwakuri iaan te korakai iaon bwa aika bwati n taia aika kimototo. E reiakinna naba bwa te mooi ma raoraom e bongana naba iroun te riboota ni karekean rongorongo. Te mwakuri e rikirake ni matoatoa ibukina bwa e aki kan irekereke ma te mooi manging.

E rau ana iango ibukin karekean ana mwakuri ma tiaki ana kakaewenako. Ana mwakuri are e reke n te tabo ni kanakobwana e a tia ni karaua nanoia iai ana utu imwiin kaainakin te Ekaretia. Ngai are ngke e a kiitana ana tabo are bubura iai boona, iai rinena iai, are e bon bwanin iai ana mwakuri nakon are e e a itera n tai bwa te tia kairi, ana utu a manga rangin ngurengure n te tai anne.

E a manga rangin kanganga rinean te kawai iai, ma e aki raraomaeakina anne ibukina bwa e ataia bwa te karietataki ieta (tara D&C 121:7–8), ti riai moa rinanon ake a rinano (tara D&C 122:5–7).

“Ngaira n tabetai ti kauarerekea te bwai ae kona ni karaoia te Atua ibukira ibukina bwa tiaki kan rinanon moa te buakaka ma te raoiroi, “e taku.

Irirakin te Uea e kairia nakon te mwakuri ae e kimwareirei iai. E kairia bwa e na karaoa te mwakuri ni mitinare. E kairia nakon buuna n taai aika ana roko, ao ma ngaia e a riki natina aika aman aika tamaroa. E ngae ntaian kakatai aikai, ai bon akea tokin taian kakabwaia.

Ngke ana reirei a kairiri n rinanon“te kawai are te mwarua aika ririnano” (2 Nibwaai 4:32) ao e ngae “te mwarua ibukin nuun te mate” (Taian Areru 23:4) iaoni kawaina nakon are e maeka n te rietata (tara D&C 1:1) Richard e karekea te raunnano n te berita are “ana taeka Kristo, ngkana ti iriiria, [e na] uotira riaon te mwarua n nanorawawata nakon te aba ni berita ae raroa” (Aramwa 37:45)—e kamatoariki nakoina bwa imwiin rinanoan taian kanganga rinanoni kakaewenako nakon maiura aei bwa ti na katauraoaki ni kimwareirei ieta.
