“ʻOku Fie Maʻu ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e Loto mo e ʻAtamai Fie Faí”

Naʻe pehē ʻe Palesiteni Henelī B. ʻAealingi: “ʻOku ou faʻa vakai ki he folofolá mo e ngaahi fehuʻi ʻKo e hā ʻe finangalo e ʻOtuá ke u faí?’ pe ʻKo e hā te Ne finangalo ke u ongoʻí?’ ʻOku ou maʻu he taimi kotoa pē ha ngaahi fakakaukau foʻou kuo teʻeki ke u maʻu kimuʻa” (“How God Speaks to Me through the Scriptures,” Feb. 6, 2019, blog.ChurchofJesusChrist.org).

Ne hangē ʻe taimi lōloa hono langa ʻo Saioné, ko ha kolo ʻo e ʻofá, faaitahá, mo e melinó.
