Napamina mu musumb wa Puerto Limón ni jindond ja piswimp ni musumb winou. Ud musumb uding ku chau, ku mutambu wa kwingangel kwa Costa Rica. Anvajam avala an chinan, am nading wa sambwad. Tatuku wafa panading ni mivu chinan. Chawiy, maku watulila amwinend.

Mu muvu wa 1957, antazuka kukumangan ku chitentam cha Atuman a Yehova chasadikina mu chiwandj munasengenang masengan ma tenis, ni naya. Panading nishicha, namana kushalijan kujim kwading pakach pa mwikadil wa kalimish wadingau nich Atuman ni masok maletangau antu ezang kutal masengan ma tenis.

Yesu walonda anch: “Watambulanya . . . wakad difut, niyen panany kand wakad kufutishan.”—Mateu 10:8.

Chisu nilejang Bibil, nafanakeshang yom nading nilejina ni yinamanang kud Atuman a Yehova. Nasangerang nakash usu wasalangau mulong wa kupalangesh rusangu ruwamp ra Want wa Nzamb pa mangand mawonsu.

Pakwez, changita chisu kanang mulong wa kukwat mupak winou. Chilakej, mu mivu yivud nasenganang rubing ni rubing nimero wam wa “katok” mu loteri wa mwi ngand yetu. Pakwez nileja mu Bibil anch Nzamb uyikisin antu akata kwifukwil ‘nzamb wa katok,’ ni uyikisin kand in ris. (Isay 65:11; Kolosay 3:5) Chawiy nakwata mupak wa kwimik masengan ma nfalang.
