In 1933, I was appointed to serve as a pioneer ​ — the first one in the Middle East. I could not have found anything better to do with my life than to serve Jehovah as a pioneer all of these past 68 years.
gadā es tiku iecelts par pionieri — par pirmo pionieri Tuvajos Austrumos. 68 gadus es esmu kalpojis Jehovam, būdams pionieris, un esmu pārliecināts, ka tas ir bijis pats labākais dzīves ceļš, kādu vien es varēju izvēlēties.
