ʻOku nofotaha e lēsoni ko ʻení ʻi he faleʻi naʻe fai ʻe he ʻEikí kia Tēvita mo Pita Uitemā hili ha konifelenisi ʻa e Siasí ʻi Sepitema 1830.

Kole ki ha tokotaha ako ke ne lau leʻo lahi ʻa e fakamatala ko ʻeni naʻe fai ʻe Palesiteni Siosefa Filitinga Sāmitá:
ʻĪmisi
Palesiteni Joseph Fielding Smith
“ʻOku ngali kehe ʻa e fuʻu vave ʻene ngaló hili ia e ngaahi fakahā fakaʻofoʻofa naʻe maʻu ʻe [Tēvita Uitemaá] pea mo ʻene fakamoʻoniʻi e taumalingi hifo ʻa e Laumālié ʻi he ngaahi taimi kehé, ka ko e natula ʻo e tangatá ʻoku tau fie maʻu kotoa ke toutou fakamanatu mai hotau ngaahi fatogniá ka ʻikai ʻe mole ʻetau tokangá. ʻOku mahino ki ha tokolahi ʻo kitautolu ʻa e fie maʻu ke lotu maʻu peé mo e nofotaha ʻetau fakakaukaú ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻo e puleʻangá mo e tokanga fakamātoato ki he ngāué, ka ʻikai te tau hē. Hono ʻikai lahi e fakatokanga ʻa e ʻEikí ki Hono kakaí fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi vaivai ʻo e kakanó!” (Church History and Modern Revelation, 2 vols. [1953], 1:146).
Fakatatau kia Palesiteni Sāmitá, ko e ha ʻoku fie maʻu ke tau fai ke fakapapauʻi ʻoku ʻikai ngalo ʻiate kitautolu hotau ngaahi fatongia fakalaumālié ʻo hangē ko Tēvita Uitemaá?
Te ke lava ʻo fakaʻaongaʻi e faingamālie ko ʻení ke fakamanatu ki he kau akó ʻa e fie maʻu ke nau ako fakaʻaho ʻa e folofolá—ʻo ʻikai fai pē koeʻuhí ke fakakakato ʻenau ngaahi ngāué ka ke tokoni kiate kinautolu ke ako e ongoongoleleí, fakatupulaki ha fakamoʻoni ki he ongoongoleleí, mo fanongo ki he leʻo ʻo e ʻEikí. Te ke lava foki ʻo kole ki he kau akó ke vahevahe e meʻa kuo tokoni kiate kinautolu ʻi hono ako e folofolá ʻi ha founga ʻoku ʻuhingamālié.
Fakaafeʻi ha tokotaha ako ke ne lau leʻolahi e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 30:3–4 Kole ki he kalasí ke nau muimui ki ai pea feinga ke ʻilo ʻa e fakahinohino ʻa e ʻEikí kia Tēvita Uitemaá.
Hili hono kākaaʻi ʻe Hailame Peisi ʻa Tēvita Uitemaá, naʻe tokoni fēfē nai ia ʻi heʻene fakalaulauloto ki he ngaahi meʻa naʻe fakahā ange ʻe he ʻEikí?
Poupouʻi e kau akó ke nau fakakaukau pe ʻoku ʻi ai ha ngaahi tūkunga ʻi heʻenau moʻuí ʻoku nau fakafalala ai pe tokanga ange ki he “ngaahi meʻa ʻo e māmaní” ʻo laka hake ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻa e ʻOtuá mo e founga ʻe faingofua ai hono kākaaʻi kinautolú. Fakaafeʻi kinautolu ke nau fili pe ko e hā te nau fai ke falala ange ai ki he ʻEikí ʻi he ngaahi tūkunga ko iá.
ʻOku ui ʻa Pita Uitemā ke ʻalu mo ʻŌliva Kautele ʻo ngāue fakafaifekau ki he kau Leimaná
Fakaʻaliʻali ha meʻa pe ko ha kato ʻoku fonu ʻi ha ngaahi meʻa mamafa. Fakaafeʻi ha tokotaha ako ke haʻu ki muʻa ʻi he kalasí pea puke mai ʻa e kató ʻi muʻa ʻiate ia. Lolotonga hono puke ʻe he tokotaha akó e kató, fakaafeʻi e kau ako kehé ke nau lau, fakalongolongo ʻa e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 30:5, mo kumi e meʻa naʻe fekau ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa Pita Uitemā ke ne faí. Kole ki he kalasí ke lipooti e meʻa ne nau akó.
Ko hai ʻa e taki naʻe pule ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekau ʻa Pita Uitemā ki he kakai Leimaná?
Fakaafeʻi ha tokotaha ako hono ua ke tokoniʻi ʻa e tokotaha ako ʻokú ne pukepuke ʻa e meʻa pe kato mamafá. Kole ki he tokotaha ako ʻuluakí ke ne fakamatalaʻi e kehekehe ʻo e ongo ʻokú ne maʻu mei he poupu ʻa ha taha kehe. Fakamatalaʻi ange ʻoku lekooti ʻi he Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 30:5–7 e faleʻi ʻa e ʻEikí kia Pita Uitemā fekauʻaki mo e fie maʻu ke poupouʻi ʻe Pita ʻa ʻOliva Kautele ʻi hono fatongia fakatakí. Kole ki he kau akó ke nau fekumi ʻi he ngaahi veesi ko ʻení ʻo kumi ha ngaahi kupuʻi lea pau ʻokú ne fakamatalaʻi e founga naʻe fie maʻu ke poupouʻi ai ʻe Pita ʻa ʻOlivá.
Ko e hā e ngaahi kupuʻi lea naʻe fakaʻaongaʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ke akoʻi ʻa Pita ʻi he founga ke ne poupouʻi ai ʻa ʻOlivá? (Vakai, veesi 6; Naʻe fie maʻu ke kaungāmamahi maʻu pē mo ʻOliva, ke lotu maʻa ʻOliva, pea mo ʻiloʻi e mafai ʻo ʻOlivá.)
ʻOkú ke pehē ko e ʻuhinga ki he hā ʻo e “mamahi mo ia ʻi hono ngaahi mamahi kotoa pē” (T&F 30:6)?
Ko e hā ha lēsoni te tau lava ʻo ako mei he faleʻi ʻa e ʻEikí kia Pita ʻa ia ʻoku ʻaonga foki kiate kitautolu?
Ko e moʻoni ʻe taha ʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe he kau akó ko e ʻoku totonu ke tau hikinimaʻi mo poupouʻi ʻa kinautolu kuo ui ʻe he ʻEikí ke tataki ʻEne ngāué. Fakaafeʻi ha tokotaha ako ke ne hiki e tefitoʻi moʻoni ko ʻení ʻi he palakipoé.
Kole ki he kau akó ke fakamatalaʻi e founga te nau lava ai ʻo fakaʻaongai e tefitoʻi moʻoni ko ʻení ʻi hono poupouʻi honau kau taki fakauōtí pe koló.

Poupouʻi kinautolu ke hokohoko atu ʻenau moʻui ʻaki e tefitoʻi moʻoni ko ʻení.
ʻEke ki he kau akó pe kuo kole ange nai ke nau tauhi ha fekau, ka naʻe ʻikai ke fuʻu mahino kiate kinautolu hono ʻuhingá. Fēfē kapau ʻoku palōmesi atu ha ngaahi tāpuaki ʻo makatuʻunga ʻi hoʻo talangofuá ka naʻe ʻikai ke ke lava ʻo moʻui ʻaki e ngaahi fekaú? ʻE ako e kau akó ʻi he ʻiuniti hokó fekauʻaki mo e kau mēmipa ʻo e Siasí ʻoku nau tofanga ʻi he tūkunga ko ʻení pea mo e meʻa naʻe akoʻi ange ʻe he ʻEikí.
