ʻOku puleʻi ʻe he ngaahi kī ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí ʻa e founga ʻe ala fakaʻaongaʻi ai ʻa e lakanga fakataulaʻeiki ʻo e ʻOtuá ke fakahoko ʻa e ngaahi taumuʻa ʻa e ʻEikí mo tāpuakiʻi ʻa kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku tali ʻa e ongoongolelei kuo fakafoki maí.
Siʻoku ngaahi tokoua mo e tuofāfine ʻofeina, ko ha ʻaho fakahisitōilia ʻeni kia Palesiteni Tāleni H. ʻOakesi mo au. Naʻe hikinimaʻi kimaua ʻi he taʻu ʻe 40 kuohilí, ʻi he ʻaho 7 ʻo ʻEpeleli 1984, ki he Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá. Kuó ma fiefia ʻi he konifelenisi lahi kotoa talu mei ai, ʻo kau ai ʻeni. Kuo toe tāpuekina kitautolu ʻaki ha taumalingi toputapu mai ʻa e Laumālié. ʻOku ou fakatauange te mou toutou ako ʻa e ngaahi pōpoaki ʻo e konifelenisi ko ʻení ʻi he ngaahi māhina ka hoko maí.
ʻI hoku fanauʻí, naʻe ʻi ai ha ngaahi temipale ʻe ono ʻo e Siasí naʻe lolotonga ngāue—naʻe takitaha ʻi Seni Siaosi, Lōkani, Manitī, mo Sōleki Siti, ʻIutā; kae pehē ki Katisitoni, ʻAlapeta, Kānata; mo Laʻie, Hauaiʻi. Naʻe ʻi ai ha ongo temipale kimuʻa naʻe ngāue taimi nounou ʻi Ketilani, ʻOhaiō, mo Nāvū, ʻIlinoisi. ʻI he hiki ʻa e Siasí ki he hihifó, naʻe fakamālohiʻi ʻa e Kāingalotú ke liʻaki ʻa e ongo temipale ko iá.
Naʻe maumauʻi ʻa e Temipale Nāvuú ʻi hano tutu. Naʻe toe langa pea fakatapui leva ia ʻe Palesiteni Kōtoni B. Hingikelī. Naʻe ʻuliʻi ʻa e Temipale Ketilaní ʻe he ngaahi fili ʻo e Siasí. Naʻe maʻu kimui ʻa e Temipale Ketilaní ʻe he Community of Christ, ʻa ia kuo nau maʻu ia ʻi ha ngaahi taʻu lahi.
ʻI he māhina kuo ʻosí, naʻa mau fakahā ai kuo hanga ʻe he Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní ʻo fakatau mai ʻa e Temipale Ketilaní, fakataha mo ha ngaahi kelekele fakahisitōlia mahuʻinga ʻi Nāvū. ʻOku mau houngaʻia lahi ʻi he ngaahi alea melino mo ʻaonga naʻe fakahoko mo e kau taki ʻo e Community of Christ ʻo fakaiku ai ki he felotoi ko ʻení.
ʻOku ʻi ai ha mahuʻinga makehe ʻo e Temipale Ketilaní ʻi hono Fakafoki Mai ʻo e ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí. Naʻe hoko ʻi ai ha ngaahi meʻa lahi naʻe kikiteʻi ʻi ha taʻu ʻe tahaafe pea naʻe mahuʻinga ia ki he Siasi ʻo e ʻEikí kuo fakafoki maí, ke fakahoko hono misiona ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kimui ní.
Ko e mahuʻinga taha ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ko ʻení naʻe hoko ia ʻi he Sāpate Toetuʻú, ʻaho 3 ʻo ʻEpeleli 1836. ʻI he ʻaho ko iá, naʻe maʻu ai ʻe Siosefa Sāmita mo ʻŌliva Kautele ha ngaahi ʻaʻahi hokohoko fakalangi fakaofo. ʻUluakí, naʻe hā mai ʻa e ʻEiki ko Sīsū Kalaisí. Naʻe lekooti ʻe he Palōfitá “naʻe tatau ʻa [e] fofonga [ʻo e Fakamoʻuí] mo e ulo ʻo e afi; naʻe hinehina ʻa e louʻulu ʻo hono ʻulú ʻo hangē ko e sinou maʻa; naʻe ulo ʻa hono fofongá ʻo mahulu ange ʻi he ngingila ʻo e laʻaá; pea naʻe tatau ʻa hono leʻó mo e tafe mālohi ʻo e ngaahi vai lahi.”
ʻI he lolotonga ʻo e ʻaʻahi ko ʻení, naʻe fakamahinoʻi ʻe he ʻEikí Hono tuʻunga totonú. Naʻá Ne folofola, “Ko au ko e ʻuluakí mo e ki muí; ko au ia ʻa ia ʻoku moʻuí, ko au ia ʻa ia naʻe fakapōngí; ko au homo taukapo ki he Tamaí.”
Pea toki fakahā leva ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi kuó Ne tali ʻa e temipalé ko Hono fale pea mo fai ʻa e palōmesi fakaʻofoʻofa ko ʻení: “Te u fakahā au ʻe au ki hoku kakaí ʻi he ʻaloʻofa ʻi he falé ni.”
ʻOku fakahoko ʻa e talaʻofa mahuʻingá ni ki he temipale kotoa pē kuo fakatapui ʻi he kuongá ni. ʻOku ou fakaafeʻi koe ke ke fakalaulauloto ki he mahuʻinga fakafoʻituitui ʻo e palōmesi ʻa e ʻEikí kiate koé.
Hili ʻo e ʻaʻahi mai ʻa e Fakamoʻuí, naʻe hā mai ʻa Mōsese. Naʻe foaki ʻe Mōsese ʻa e ngaahi kī ki hono tānaki fakataha ʻo ʻIsilelí pea mo e fakafoki mai ʻo e faʻahinga ʻe hongofulú.
ʻI he ʻosi ʻa e meʻa-hā-mai ko ʻení, “Naʻe hā mai ʻa ʻIlaiase, ʻo tuku mai ʻa e kuonga ʻo e ongoongolelei ʻo ʻĒpalahamé” kia Siosefa.
Hili iá naʻe hā mai leva mo e palōfita ko ʻIlaisiaá. Naʻe fakahoko ʻe heʻene hā maí ʻa e palōmesi ʻa Malakai ʻe kimuʻa ʻi he Hāʻele ʻAnga Ua Maí, ʻe fekauʻi mai ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa ʻIlaisiā ke ne “liliu ʻa e loto ʻo e mātuʻá ki he fānaú, pea [mo e] loto ʻo e fānaú ki heʻenau mātuʻá.” Naʻe foaki ʻe ʻIlaisiā ʻa e ngaahi kī ʻo e mālohi faisilá kia Siosefa Sāmita.
Ko e mahuʻinga ʻo e fakafoki mai ʻo e ngaahi kī ko ʻení ki māmani ʻe he kau talafekau fakalangi ʻe toko tolú, ʻi he tuʻutuʻuni ʻa e ʻEikí, he ʻikai lava ke fakamatalaʻi feʻunga. ʻOku ʻi he ngaahi kī ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí ʻa e mafai mo e mālohi ʻo e kau palesitenisií. ʻOku puleʻi ʻe he ngaahi kī ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí ʻa e founga ʻe ala fakaʻaongaʻi ai ʻa e lakanga fakataulaʻeiki ʻo e ʻOtuá ke fakahoko ʻa e ngaahi taumuʻa ʻa e ʻEikí mo tāpuakiʻi ʻa kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku tali ʻa e ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi kuo fakafoki maí.
ʻOku mahuʻinga ke ʻiloʻi, kimuʻa ʻi he fokotuʻu ʻo e Siasí, naʻe foaki ʻe ha kau talafekau fakalangi ʻa e Lakanga Taulaʻeiki Faka-ʻĒloné mo e Lakanga Taulaʻeiki Faka-Melekisētekí ki he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá pea foaki kiate ia ʻa e ngaahi kī ʻo e ongo lakanga fakataulaʻeikí fakatouʻosi. Naʻe ʻoange ʻe he ngaahi kií ni kia Siosefa Sāmita ʻa e mafai ke fokotuʻu ʻa e Siasí ʻi he 1830.
Pea ʻi he Temipale Ketilaní leva ʻi he 1836, naʻe mahuʻinga ai hono foaki ʻa e ngaahi kī makehe ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí—ʻa ia ko e ngaahi kī ʻo hono tānaki ʻo ʻIsilelí, ngaahi kī ʻo e ongoongolelei ʻo ʻĒpalahamé, mo e ngaahi kī ʻo e mālohi faisilá. Naʻe fakamafaiʻi ʻe he ngaahi kií ni ʻa Siosefa Sāmita—mo e kau Palesiteni kotoa pē ʻo e Siasi ʻo e ʻEikí naʻe hoko mai aí—ke tānaki ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ongo tafaʻaki fakatouʻosi ʻo e veilí, ke tāpuakiʻi ʻa e fānau kotoa ʻo e fuakavá ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻo ʻĒpalahamé, ke fakahoko hano silaʻi fakapapau ʻo e ngaahi ouau mo e ngaahi fuakava ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí, pea mo silaʻi ke taʻengata ʻa e ngaahi fāmilí.
