Ka ntlha ya Bajuta ba Kgaolo eo, o ne a rupisa Timotheo pele ga ba tsamaya, gonne mongwe le mongwe o ne a itse gore rraagwe e ne e le Mogerika. (Mme o ne a ise a ke a letlelele selo seo pele).

E ne e ntse e le morapedi wa Modimo gale, mme ya re a re reeditse, Morena a bula pelo ya gagwe mme a amogela gotlhe mo Paulo o neng a go bua. 15 O ne a kolobediwa le botlhe ba ntlo ya gagwe a bo a re kopa go nna baeng ba gagwe.
