Founga Ne u Maʻu ai e Tuí ʻi Heʻeku Ongoʻi Hangē kuo Mole e Meʻa Kotoá

ʻI ha pō ʻe taha naʻá ku tūʻulutui ai ʻi hoku veʻe mohengá ʻo kole ki he Tamai Hēvaní ke Ne tokoniʻi au ke u maʻu ha tui ʻoku lahi angé, ʻi heʻeku manatu ki ha potufolofola ʻi he Fuakava Foʻoú fekauʻaki mo ha ākonga naʻá ne kole kia Sīsū Kalaisi ke “fakalahi ʻemau tuí” (vakai, Luke 17:5). Naʻe ʻikai ke u teitei lavelave ʻiloa te u fehangahangai mo e niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi ʻahiʻahi faingataʻa taha ʻi heʻeku moʻuí ʻi he hili pē ʻa e lotu ko ʻení. ʻOku ou houngaʻia ne u ʻosi fekumi ke fakalahi ʻeku tui ki he Fakamoʻuí ʻi he taimi ne hoko ai e ngaahi faingataʻa ko iá, koeʻuhí ʻoku ʻikai ke u ʻilo pe ne u mei hao moʻui fēfē kapau naʻe ʻikai e tokoni ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní.
Hili ha ngaahi ʻaho siʻi mei he lotu ko iá, naʻá ku ʻi ha fakatuʻutāmaki fakalilifu ai ʻo meimei mole hoku nima hemá pea naʻe pau ai ke tuʻusi kotoa hoku ʻuluʻulu tuhu ʻi he nima ko iá. ʻOku mahino naʻe ʻikai ke toe tatau ʻeku moʻuí. Neongo naʻá ku ongoʻi ʻa e ʻofa ʻa ʻeku Tamai Hēvaní mo hoku fāmilí mo e ngaahi kaungāmeʻá lolotonga e ngaahi tafá mo e ngaahi faitoʻó, ka naʻe faingataʻa fau.
ʻI ha ʻaho ʻe taha hili hono talamai ʻe heʻeku toketaá ʻe fie maʻu ke u fai ha fakamālohisino ʻi ha ngaahi māhina lahí, naʻá ku foki loʻimataʻia ki ʻapi peá u fehuʻi ki he Tamai Hēvaní, “Ko e hā hono fuoloa ʻeku kātekina e meʻá ni?” Tuaiekemo, hangē ne ongo mai kiate au ha leʻo angavaivai mo mahino, “He ʻikai te ke lava ʻo tupulaki taʻe-kau ai ha ngaahi ʻahiʻahi. ʻOkú ke kei fie maʻu pē ha meʻa lahi ange.”
Naʻe ʻikai ke u tui kuó u maʻu ha tali ʻi he taimi pē ko iá, ki heʻeku lotú. ʻI he momeniti ko iá, naʻá ku fakapapau ke u laka atu ki muʻa ʻi he tui. Naʻá ku fakakaukau ke u toe fakahū ʻeku foomu ngāue fakafaifekaú ke u ngāue maʻá e ʻOtuá neongo hoku ngaahi faingataʻaʻiá. Hili ha ngaahi māhina siʻi, ne u maʻu hoku uiuiʻí ki he Misiona Guatemala Guatemala City South! Ka naʻe ʻikai foki faingofua ke u aʻu ki he tuʻunga ko iá. Naʻe pau ke u lotolahi mo lototoʻa ke tali e ngaahi tūkunga ʻoku ou ʻi aí, fakangaloʻi au, pea fakaafeʻi e niʻihi kehé ke nau muimui ʻia Kalaisi.

Naʻe fakafiefia ʻeku ngāue fakafaifekaú.

Naʻá ku foki ki ʻapi ʻi ha taimi faingataʻa moʻoni ki hoku fāmilí mo hoku fonuá.
