Naʻe fakahā ʻe Palesiteni Sipenisā W.

Naʻe muimui e kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí ki he faleʻi ʻa Palesiteni Kimipoló pea teuteu ke vahevahe ʻa e ongoongoleleí.

ʻI ʻOkatopa ʻo e 2008, naʻe toe fakaongo mai ʻe Palesiteni Tōmasi S. Monisoni ʻa e faleʻi ko ia naʻe fai ʻe Palesiteni Kimipoló:

Palesiteni Thomas S. Monson

“ʻOku kei ʻi ai pē ha ngaahi feituʻu he māmaní ʻoku fakangatangata ai hotau mālohí pea he ʻikai ngofua ke tau vahevahe tauʻatāina ai ʻa e ongoongoleleí. Hangē ko e lea ʻa Palesiteni Sipenisā W.

Lau ʻa e lea ko ʻeni naʻe fai ʻe Palesiteni Sipenisā W. Kimipoló:

Palesiteni Spencer W. Kimball

“ʻOku ou ʻilo ko e taimi ko ē ʻoku ou fakavaʻivaʻinga ai ʻi heʻeku ngaahi fetuʻutaki mo e ʻOtuá pea mo e taimi ʻoku hangē ai ʻoku ʻikai fanongo mai ʻa langi pea ʻikai fanafana mai ʻa e laumālié, ʻoku ou fuʻu mamaʻo ʻaupito mei he ʻOtuá.

Fakamatalaʻi ange ʻi he konga kimuʻa ʻo e 1970 tupú, naʻe fakatokangaʻi ʻe he kau taki ʻo e Siasí ʻa e fie maʻu ke maheni ange e kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí mo e ngaahi folofolá pea ke ʻi ai ha Tohi Tapu ʻoku fakaʻaongaʻi ki he akó mo e faiakó. ʻI he 1979, hili ha ngaahi taʻu ʻo e ngaahi feinga fakalaumālie, faivelenga, naʻe paaki ʻe he Siasí ha tatau fakalao ʻi he lea faka-Pilitāniá ʻo e Tohi Tapu ʻa Kingi Sēmisí.
