Murume wacho akamuti: “Musapedza nguva yenyu, handisi kuzokutengeserai nzvimbo iyi, kunyanya kana muri kuda kuzovaka chechi pairi.”

Nguva diki pashure pekunge vataura vese, muridzi wenzvimbo yacho akaenda kuPuerto Plata kunoshanyira mukoma wake mumwe weZvapupu zvaJehovha. Paakasvika, akaona kuti mukoma wake airwara akanga achichengetwa neimwe mhuri yeZvapupu pamba payo. Mhuri yacho yaienda naye kwachiremba, kumisangano, uye kunoparidza. Murume wacho akabvunza mukoma wake kuti aibhadhara marii yekuchengetwa kwaaitwa. Mukoma wacho akati: “Hapana kana chandinobhadhara. Ihama dzangu idzi.”
