Pastor ljumeg's sermon at Tava Tavan Kiukai today was brief. She used COVID-19 raging in the States now and Titanic swallowed by the Atlantic in 1912 as examples to remind congregation of the virtue of sacrifice.

izua alu a kudraw sa lima a kuzulj sa siva a taitai katua lima a caucau.
have 8 LIG 10,000 then 5 LIG 1,000 then 9 LIG 100 and 5 NOM people
In English:
Do you know what's happening with COVID-19 in the United States now?
How are the people, those who are infected?
Those who have died of COVID-19 in the United States amount to 85,905.
