Ne u tupu hake ʻi ha ʻātakai lōngonoa ʻi Lōkani, ʻIutā. Naʻe ʻikai haʻaku [ngaahi hohaʻa fakakeisiʻi] kau ki he meʻakaí pe nofoʻangá pe akó. [Kae mahalo] koeʻuhí ko e faingofua ʻa e moʻuí, naʻá ku fie maʻu ha meʻa ke u piki ki ai te ne fokotuʻu maʻu aú.

Naʻá ku ʻosi mei he ako māʻolungá ʻi he fakalau atu ʻa e taimí, pea hili pē ha taʻu ʻe taha ʻi he [ʻunivēsití], kuo ui au ke ngāue fakafaifekau.

Naʻe fāifai peá u tūʻuta ʻi Positoni, Masasūseti, ʻou hoko ai ko ha palesiteni fakasiteiki. Ko e feituʻu ia naʻe ui mei ai au ke hoko ko ha tokoni ki he Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá, pea ki he Kōlomu ʻo e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá, hili ha māhina ʻe 17 mei ai.

Ngaahi Meʻa Naʻá ku Ako Heʻeku Hoko ko e ʻAposetoló

Kuó u ako ʻoku ʻi ai ha fakahinohino, ha fakamaʻunga, mo ha maluʻi ʻi he lakanga fakataulaʻeikí.

Kuo ʻi ai maʻu ai pē ʻa e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí. Naʻe maʻu ʻe ʻĀtama ʻa e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí kimuʻa pea toki haʻu ki māmaní. Ko e taimi naʻe movete ai ʻa e hako ʻo ʻĀtamá mo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí, naʻe fie maʻu leva ke fokotuʻutuʻu ʻa e founga hono fakaʻaongaʻi ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí. Naʻe fakahoko ia ʻe he ʻEikí ʻaki hono ui ʻo ʻĒpalahame ke ne tokangaʻi hono fāmili ʻo e kau maʻu lakanga fakataulaʻeikí. Naʻe hokohoko atu ʻa e faʻunga ko ʻení ʻia ʻAisake mo Sēkope, ʻa ē naʻe liliu kimui hono hingoá ko ʻIsilelí.

Hili ha laui senituli mei ai, kuo nofo pōpula ʻa e fānau ʻo ʻIsilelí. Naʻe fekau atu ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa Mōsese ke ne fakatauʻatāinaʻi kinautolu, ka ʻi he taimi naʻá ne fai ai iá, naʻá nau fakahaaʻi ai ʻoku ʻikai ke nau mateuteu ke hoko ko ha kakai ke maʻu e Lakanga Taulaʻeiki Faka-Melekisētekí. Ko ia naʻe tuku ai kinautolu mo e Lakanga Taulaʻeiki faka-ʻĒloné ʻo aʻu ki he kuonga ʻo e Fakamoʻuí.

ʻOku ou mālieʻia ʻi he meʻa ne fuofua fakahoko ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ʻi he taimi naʻe kamata ai ʻEne ngāué. Naʻá Ne fokotuʻu ʻa e Lakanga Taulaʻeiki Faka-Melekisētekí. Naʻá Ne ui ha kau ʻAposetolo ʻe toko hongofulu mā ua pea akoʻi kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi fono mo e fokotuʻutuʻu ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí. Naʻá Ne ui ʻa Pita ke hoko ko e ʻAposetolo pulé ʻo fokotuʻu ai e laini ʻo e mafaí ʻi Hono Siasí. ʻI he kuonga ko iá pea mo e kuongá ni, ko Sīsū Kalaisi ʻokú Ne fili ʻa ʻEne ʻAposetolo pule ke tokangaʻi ʻa e Siasí, pea ko e Fakamoʻuí pē ʻokú ne tataki ia ʻi hono ngaahi fatongia he lakanga fakataulaʻeikí.
