Tinapempha nzeru kwa Yehova kuti tikwanitse zolinga zathu ndipo tinakhazikitsa tsiku lakuti tiyambe kutumikira Yehova mmene tingathere.”

Panopo ndimagwiritsa ntchito mphamvu zanga zomwe ndinali kuthera pa ntchito kuthandiza anthu mwauzimu. Ndine wosangalala kwambiri kugwira ntchito imeneyi.”

Anali kundilonjeza kuti andikweza pa ntchito ndipo zinali zokopa kwambiri. Ndinayamba kugwira ntchito kwambiri pofuna udindo wapamwamba. Udindo wanga kuntchito utayamba kuwonjezeka, nthawi yochitira utumiki inayamba kuchepa. Mapeto ake, ndinasiyiratu kulalikira.”
