Elder D. Todd Christofferson

“Talu e tuʻu ʻa e hisitōliá, mo hono fakafuofuaʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e ngaahi sosaietí mo e fakafoʻituituí, ʻo fakatatau ki he lelei ʻenau tokangaʻi ʻa e masivá. Naʻá Ne folofola ʻo pehē:

“‘He ʻoku fonu ʻa e māmaní pea ʻoku ʻi ai ha ngaahi meʻa feʻunga pea hulu ange; ʻio, naʻá ku teuteu ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, pea kuó u tuku ki he fānau ʻa e tangatá ke nau fili maʻanautolu pē.

“‘Ko ia, kapau ʻe toʻo ʻe ha tangata ha meʻa mei he meʻa lahi ʻa ia kuó u ngaohí, ʻo ʻikai foaki hono ʻinasí ki he masivá mo e paeá ʻo fakatatau ki he fono ʻo ʻeku ongoongoleleí, te ne hiki hake ʻa hono matá ʻi heli fakataha mo e kakai angahalá, kuó ne ʻi he fakamamahi’ (T&F 104:17–18; vakai foki, T&F 56:16–17).

“Naʻá Ne toe folofola foki ʻo pehē, ʻKe mou tuʻunga tatau ʻi hoʻomou ngaahi meʻa fakaemāmaní, pea ke mou fai pehē taʻe ʻi ai ha fakahōhōloto, he ka ʻikai, pea ʻe taʻofi ʻa hono hulu ʻo e ngaahi fakahā ʻa e Laumālié’ (T&F 70:14; vakai foki, T&F 49:20; 78:5–7).

“ ʻOku tau puleʻi pē ʻa hono fakaʻaongaʻi ʻetau koloá mo e maʻuʻanga tokoní, ka ʻoku tau haʻisia ki he ʻEikí ʻi hotau fatongia tauhi he meʻa fakaemāmaní. Ko e meʻa fakafiefia moʻoni ke mātā hoʻomou angaʻofá ʻi hoʻomou tokoni ki he paʻanga ʻaukaí mo e ngaahi ngāue tokoni ʻofa fakaetangatá. ʻI he ngaahi taʻu lahi kuo hilí, kuo toe fakautuutu ai hono faitokonia ʻo ha kakai faingataʻaʻia ʻe laui miliona pea taʻe faʻalaua mo e kakai kuo nau lava ʻo faitokonia pē kinautolu, tuʻunga ʻi he foaki ʻofa ʻa e Kāingalotú. Ka neongo ia, ʻi heʻetau tulifua ke fai e ngāue ʻo Saioné, ʻoku totonu ke tau takitaha fakakaukauʻi ʻi he faʻa lotu, pe ʻoku tau fai koā ki he masivá mo e faingataʻaʻiá ʻa e meʻa ʻoku totonu ke tau faí, pea mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku totonu ke tau fai ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻEikí.”
