Sa saofafai Marco ma ona matua i le ofisa o le epikopo. Faatoa siitia atu lava o ia i Alii Talavou, ma o lea ua manao le epikopo e talanoa ia te ia. Sa lagona lona popole.

“Matou te fia tuuina atu ia te oe se valaauga, Marco,” o le tala lea a Epikopo Díaz. “Mata e te naunau e auauna atu o se faufautua o talafaasolopito o aiga?”

Sa o i luga laumata o Marco. “O le a le mea e faie se faufautua o talafaasolopito o aiga?” na ia fesili atu ai.

“Manaia le fesili,” na fai atu ai le epikopo. “Latou te faia se faataitaiga e ala i le faia o galuega o talafaasolopito o aiga ma le malumalu. Ma latou te fesoasoani foi i isi e fai o latou talafaasolopito o aiga.”

“Ua lelei.” Sa lue atu le ulu o Marco. Sa ia lagonaina pea sina popole. Ae sa fiafia foi o ia. “Ou te lei alu lava i le malumalu. Ae ua ou faia sina faasino igoa.”

“E leai se mea o iai,” na fai atu ai le epikopo. “O Sister Sánchez e i ai foi sona valaauga o talafaasolopito o aiga. E mafai ona ia fesoasoani ia te oe e aoao atili.”

I ni nai vaiaso mulimuli ane, na maua ai e Marco se telefoni vitio ma Sister Sánchez. Sa foliga mai o se tagata lelei tele o ia. Sa fesoasoani o ia ia Marco e faatulaga se faitotoa i le FamilySearch.org. Ona ia aoaoina lea o ia i le auala e sue ai lona gafa o le aiga.

Sa fiafia Marco e aoao e uiga i lona aiga. Sa fiafia o ia e vaai i ona matua matutua ma matua o matua matutua i luga o le gafa o lona aiga. Sa aoaoina o ia e Sister Sánchez i le ala e faaopoopo ai ata o tagata o le aiga. Sa ia aoaoina foi le auala e faaopoopo ai tagata e lei i ai i le FamilySearch.

O se tasi o tagata na faaopoopo e Marco i le FamilySearch o le uso o lona tina, o Tía Mirna. Na maliu o ia i le tausaga ua tea mai le kanesa. Sa misia tele o ia e Marco. Sa ia misia lana ataata fiafia. O lona sa ia lagona ai lava le alofagia i taimi uma.

Faatasi ai ma le fesoasoani a Mama, na taina ai e Marco le aso na fanau ai Tía Mirna ma le aso na maliu ai o ia. Sa ia faaopoopo i ai ma ona ata. Sa ia taina foi nisi o manatuaga e uiga ia te ia.

E lei papatisoina Tía Mirna. Ae i le malumalu, e mafai ona papatiso le tuafafine o Marco, o Lizerya mo ia. O lea na fuafua ai e Marco ma lona aiga se taimi e o ai i le malumalu. Na maua e Marco isi tagata o le aiga i le FamilySearch o e na maliliu i tausaga ua mavae. E mafai foi ona papatisoina o ia mo i latou.

Ona o lea la ua sili atu le iloa e Marco e uiga i talafaasolopito o aiga, sa fiafia o ia e fesoasoani atu i isi. Sa ia faasoa atu lana molimau e uiga i talafaasolopito o aiga i se gaoioiga a le Ekalesia. Ma sa ia valaaulia isi talavou o le latou uarota e o mai ma lona aiga i la latou malaga i le malumalu.

Na iu lava ina oo i le taimi mo le uluai malaga i le malumalu a Marco. Na fiafia lava Marco! Sa faapitoa le i ai iina faatasi ma lona aiga ma isi talavou. Ae o le mea sili lava, sa fiafia Marco ina ua mafai ona papatisoina Lizerya mo Tía Mirna.
