Fakakaukau ki ha taha ʻo e ngaahi faingataʻa lahi taha pe ʻaho pe uike fakaloto siʻi taha kuó ke aʻusiá. Naʻá ke fehangahangai fēfē mo e ngaahi faingataʻa naʻá ke aʻusiá?
Naʻe aʻusia ʻe he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá ha ngaahi vahaʻataimi faingataʻa lahi ʻi heʻene moʻuí. Ko e taha ʻo e ngaahi vahaʻataimi peheé ko e faʻahitaʻu māfana ʻo e 1830. ʻI Sune 1830, naʻe ʻalu ʻa Siosefa Sāmita mo hano kaungāngāue ki Kolesivili ʻi Niu ʻIoke, ke ʻaʻahi ki he kakai naʻa nau fie papitaisó. Naʻe ʻaaʻi ha konga ʻo e vaitafé ke teuteu ki he papitaisó ʻi he ʻaho hono hokó (Sāpaté), ka naʻe fakaʻauha ʻe ha kau fakatangá ʻa e konga ne ʻaaʻí ʻi he pō ko iá.
ʻI he pongipongi Mōnité, naʻe toe langa ʻa e tānakiʻanga vaí pea naʻe papitaiso ha kakai ʻe toko 13, kau ai ʻa ʻEma Sāmita. Ka ʻi he taimi naʻe ʻosi ai ʻa e papitaisó, kuo fakatahataha ka kau tangata fakatanga ʻe meimei toko 50, ʻo lea kovi mo fakamanamana ke fakalaveaʻi ʻa e Kāingalotú.
ʻI he efiafi ko iá naʻe fakataha ʻa e Kāingalotú ke hilifakinima ʻa kinautolu ne papitaiso he konga kimuʻa ʻo e ʻaho ko iá, ka kimuʻa ke fakahoko e hilifakinimá, naʻe puke pōpula ʻa Siosefa ʻo tukuakiʻi ko e “tokotaha fakamoveuveu kuó ne fakatupu ha vālau ʻi he fonuá ʻaki ʻene malangaʻi e Tohi ʻa Molomoná” (Joseph Smith, ʻi he History of the Church, 1:88).
ʻI hono ʻoatu ia ki he hopó, ne hao ʻa Siosefa mei ha kau fakatanga ʻi hono tokoniʻi ia ʻe ha ʻōfisa melino manavaʻofa. Hili e hopo ʻa Siosefá mo hono fakatonuhiaʻi ia ʻi he ngaahi tukuakiʻí, naʻe toe puke pōpula leva ia ʻi ha vahefonua kehe.

Naʻe toe feinga ʻa Siosefa Sāmita mo ʻŌliva Kautele ke fakataha mo e kāingalotu ne nau toki papitaiso ʻi Kolesivilí, ka naʻe fakataha atu ka kau fakatanga hili pē ʻenau aʻu atú. Naʻe pau ai ke hola ʻa Siosefa mo ʻŌliva pea naʻe ʻikai ke na meimei hao he naʻe tulimui kiate kinaua ha kau fakatanga he pō kakato ko iá.
Naʻe pehē ʻe Siosefa ʻi he taimi faingataʻa ko ʻení, “Neongo ʻa e ʻita ʻa e kotoa homau ngaahi filí, ka naʻa mau maʻu ʻa e fiemālie lahi, pea naʻe hoko e ngaahi meʻa lahi ke fakamālohia ʻemau tuí mo fakafiefia ki homau lotó” (ʻi he History of the Church, 1:101; ke maʻu e fakamatala ʻa Siosefa Sāmita ki he ngaahi meʻa ko ʻeni naʻe hoko ʻi Kolesivilí, vakai, History of the Church, 1:86–97, 101).
