“I am well pleased with Thy will, whatever it is, or should be in all respects, and if Thou bidst me decide for myself in any affair, I would choose to refer all to Thee, for Thou art infinitely wise and cannot do amiss, as I am in danger of doing. I rejoice to think that all things are at Thy disposal, and it delights me to leave them there. Then prayer turns wholly into praise, and all I can do is to adore and bless Thee.”

“En voi muuttaa takaisin. Tiesin sen jo lähtiessäni. En siksi että olisin niemonomaan jättänyt jotain taakseni, vaan enemmänkin siksi että tein valinnan. Päätin lähteä tänne ja päätin jäädä vaikka erosimme, ja nämä kaksi valintaa estävät minua muuttamasta mieltäni. Takaisin palaaminen olisi mielensä muuttamista. Tarvitaisin syyn lähtämiseen, mutta en keksi sellaista, ja siksi jään tänne.”
