Ngaahi Maʻuʻanga Tokoni Lahi Ange

Vahevahe ʻa e ongoongoleleí ʻi he ʻofá.

Naʻe vahevahe ʻe Palesiteni Tāleni H. ʻOakesi ha lēsoni mahuʻinga naʻá ne ako mei ha aʻusia naʻá ne maʻu ʻi heʻene kei talavoú:

“Naʻe vahe mai ke u ʻaʻahi ki ha mēmipa māmālohi, ko ha taha ʻiloa fakapalofesinale naʻe taʻu lahi ange ʻiate au. ʻI heʻeku vakai ki heʻeku ngaahi tōʻongá, naʻá ku fakatokangaʻi naʻe siʻi ʻeku ʻofa ki he tangata naʻá ku ʻaʻahi ki aí. Naʻá ku ngāue koeʻuhí ko ha fatongia, mo fakaʻamu ke lipooti peseti ʻe 100 ʻeku faiako fakaʻapí. ʻI ha efiafi ʻe taha, ofi ki he fakaʻosinga ʻo ha māhina, naʻá ku fetuʻutaki telefoni ai kiate ia ke vakai pe te u lava mo hoku hoa ʻaʻahí ʻo ʻaʻahi kiate ia. Naʻe akoʻi mai ʻe heʻene tali ne hangē ha valoki kiate aú, ha lēsoni fakangalongataʻa.

Naʻá ne pehē mai, “ʻʻIkai, ʻoku ʻikai ke u tui ʻoku ou fie maʻu ke mo haʻu he efiafí ni. ʻʻOku ou helaʻia. Kuó u ʻosi teuteu au ke mohe. ʻOku fai ʻeku lautohi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke u loto ke fakahohaʻasi au koeʻuhí ke ke lava ʻo lipooti pēseti ʻe 100 hoʻo faiako fakaʻapi he māhina ní.’ ʻOku ou kei kafo pē ʻi he tali ko iá koeʻuhí naʻá ku ʻilo naʻá ne ongoʻi ʻeku siokitá.

“ʻOku ou fakatauange ʻoku ʻikai ongoʻi ʻe ha taha ʻoku tau fakalea ki ai ʻo fakaafeʻi ke ne fanongo ki he pōpoaki ʻo e ongoongolelei kuo fakafoki maí, ʻoku tau fakahoko ia ʻi ha toe ʻuhinga ka ko e ʻofa moʻoni pē kiate kinautolu pea mo ha holi taʻe-siokita ke vahevahe ha faʻahinga meʻa ʻoku tau ʻiloʻi ʻoku mahuʻinga” (“Sharing the Gospel,” Ensign, Nōv. 2001, 8).

ʻOku ʻikai faʻa ʻiloʻi hotau ivi tākiekiná.

Naʻe fai ʻe Palesiteni Kōtoni B. Hingikelī ha talanoa ʻa ia ne lipooti ai ha faifekau ki heʻene palesiteni fakamisioná ʻi he fakaʻosinga ʻo ʻene ngāué. Naʻe pehē ʻe he faifekaú:

“Kuo teʻeki ai ke u maʻu ha ola ʻi heʻeku ngāué. Kuó u fakamoleki noa hoku taimí mo e paʻanga ʻeku tamaí. Ko ha fakamole taimi pē. … Naʻá ku papitaiso ha toko taha pē ʻi he taʻu ʻe ua kuó u ʻi heni aí. Ko ha kiʻi tamasiʻi taʻu hongofulu mā ua pē ʻi he feituʻu ʻuta ʻo Tenesií.”

Ne fakakaukau leva e palesiteni fakamisioná ke ne muimuiʻi e kiʻi tamasiʻi naʻe papitaiso ʻe he faifekau ko ʻení. Naʻe tupu hake, mali, pea hiki ki ʻAitahō. Naʻe ō ʻene fānaú ʻo ngāue fakafaifekau, pea ō mo ʻenau fānaú ʻo ngāue fakafaifekau. Naʻe fononga ʻa e palesiteni fakamisioná ki ʻAitahō ʻo fehuʻi ki he kau mēmipa ʻo e fāmili ko iá fekauʻaki mo ʻenau ngāue fakafaifekaú. Naʻá ne pehē kimui ange, “Naʻá ku ʻilo, ne tuʻunga ʻi he papitaiso ʻo e kiʻi tamasiʻi ko ia ʻi he feituʻu ʻuta ʻo Tenesií, ʻe ha faifekau naʻe fakakaukau ne ʻikai ke ne lava ha meʻá, kuo laka hake ʻi ha kakai ʻe toko 1,100 tupu kuo kau mai ki he Siasí” (Teachings of Gordon B. Hinckley [1997], 360–61).
