Naʻe ʻosi ngāue fakafaifekau fakatouʻosi ʻeku ongo mātuʻá. Naʻá ku fanongo ʻi heʻeku kei siʻí ki he ngaahi talanoa ʻo ʻena ngāue fakafaifekaú mo fakaʻānaua ki he ʻaho te u lava ai ʻo tokoni ki he ʻEikí ko ha faifekau taimi kakato.

Ko e teuteu ki heʻeku ngāue fakafaifekaú ko ha taha ia ʻo e ngaahi taimi mahuʻinga taha ʻo ʻeku moʻuí. Naʻá ku ofi ange ki he ʻEikí ʻi ha toe taimi kimuʻa. Naʻe maʻu hoku uiuiʻi fakafaifekaú ki he Misiona Budapest Hungary peá u hū ki he Senitā Akoʻanga Fakafaifekau ʻi Polovó, mo fakapapau ke foaki ʻeku moʻuí kotoa ki heʻeku Tamai Hēvaní.

Naʻe hoko ʻeku ʻi he MTC ko ha aʻusia fakalaumālie taʻeʻamanekina kiate au. ʻI he fakaʻau ke u ofi ange ki he ʻEikí, naʻá ku lotu fakamātoato ke u loto fiemālie ke fai ha meʻa pē te Ne kole pea mo palōmesi te u ʻofa ʻi he kakai Hungalí ʻaki hoku lotó kotoa.

Naʻá ku puke ʻi he ofi ke ʻosi ʻeku ʻi he MTC. Hili ʻeku kiʻi mālōlō nounou ki ʻapi ʻo fakaakeaké, ne tuku mai kiate au ha faingamālie ke hoko atu ʻeku ngāue fakafaifekaú ʻi Hungali. Naʻe tuku ke u hoa mo ha hoa taki lelei ko Sisitā Sanisaini Nesitā, ʻa ia naʻá ne akoʻi au ke u fakatokangaʻi ʻa e ngaahi ʻaloʻofa ongongofua fakaʻahó pea mo e ngaahi mana ʻa e ʻEikí.

Hili ha ngaahi māhina siʻi, naʻá ku toe puke. Neongo naʻá ku ngāue mo Sisitā Nesitā ʻi he lelei taha naʻá ma lavá, ka naʻe pau ke u toe foki ki ʻapi.

Ne u fakakaukau, kuó u ʻai ke tōnoa e ʻEikí he kuo ʻikai ke u fakahoko ha ngāue fakafaifekau “kakato.” Naʻá ku tui pau naʻe kei ʻi ai ha kakai Hungali naʻe “totonu” ke u akoʻi kapau naʻe ʻikai ke u puke. Naʻá ku fifili pea naʻe ʻikai nai feʻunga ʻeku tuí ke u moʻui, koeʻuhi, he ʻoku maluʻi ʻe he ʻEiki ʻa ʻEne kau faifekaú. Naʻe ʻikai ke u teitei fakakaukau ko ʻeku feilaulau ki he ʻEikí ke foaki ha taʻu ʻe taha mo e konga ʻo ʻeku moʻuí, ka ke feilaulauʻi ʻa e faʻahinga ngāue fakafaifekau naʻá ku fakakaukau ki aí.

Ko ʻEku Fekumi ki ha ʻUhingamālie ʻi ʻApí

Ko e taimi naʻá ku hifo ai mei he vakapuná heʻeku fokí, naʻe ʻikai ke u mapukepuke ʻeku fakakaukau kuó u liʻaki e ngāue ʻaonga taha ʻo ʻeku moʻui ʻi he malaʻe ngāue fakafaifekau. Naʻe kiʻi fuoloa, ka naʻá ku toki ʻilo naʻe ʻi ai ha ngāue ʻi ʻapi te ne toe lava ke ʻomi ha ʻuhingamālie ki heʻeku moʻuí.

Tatau ai pē pe ko e hā e ʻuhinga hoʻo foki teʻeki ʻosi mei hoʻo ngāue fakafaifekaú, fakapapau he ʻahó ni ke ʻai e aʻusiá ni ko ha sitepu laka kimuʻa ʻi hoʻo fakalakalaká, kae ʻikai ko ha sitepu fakaholomui. Naʻá ku foki mai ʻi ha ngaahi ʻuhinga fakafaitoʻo, ka ʻoku foki mai e niʻihi ʻi he ngaahi ʻuhinga kehekehe, kau ai e maumaufonó. ʻI heʻene peheé, ʻe ʻi ai ha ngaahi fakakaukau ʻi lalo he ʻikai fekauʻaki mo ho tuʻungá. Lotua ha ngaahi founga ki he ʻOtuá ke ke tokoni ai kiate Ia mei ʻapi. Hangē ko ʻení, kapau naʻá ke foki mai ko ha maumaufono pea ʻoku teʻeki ai ke ke taau ke ʻalu ki he temipalé, te ke kei lava pē ʻo maʻu ha ʻuhinga kapau te ke toutou ʻeva takai ʻi he tuʻa temipalé mo tukupā ke ke foki ʻi ha ʻaho ki Hono fale toputapú.

Makehe mei hono lau ʻeku folofolá, lotu, pea mo ʻalu ki he lotú, naʻe mahuʻinga e ngaahi sitepu takitaha ko ʻení ʻi heʻeku fononga ki hoku fakamoʻuí.
