I have the power to choose, and I am responsible for my own learning.

Ua ia te a’u le mana e filifili ai, ma e nafa a’u ma lo’u lava aoaoina.

Na faasoa mai e Iesu Keriso se tala e uiga i se tagata mauoa na tuuina atu ni tupe i ni auauna se toatolu. Na faaaogā ma le atamai e auauna muamua e toalua le tupe ma faaluaina. Sa fefe le auauna lona tolu. Sa ia natia le tupe ina ia aua nei leiloa. Sa le fiafia le mauoa i le auauna lona tolu ae sa fiafia i auauna muamua e toalua. Sa ia ta’u atu i auauna muamua e toalua:

“Ua lelei ia, le auauna lelei e ma le faamaoni; ua e faamaoni i nai mea itiiti, ou te tofia oe e pule i mea e tele: ina ulufale mai ia i le fiafia o lou Alii” (Mataio 25:21).

Mafaufau i meaalofa ua tuuina mai e le Tama Faalelagi ia te oe. Atonu ua tuuina atu ia te oe le tomai e suesue lelei ai pe onosai ai i isi. Atonu ua e maua le faatuatua tele po o le lototele e tautala ai. Ia faaaoga lelei nei meaalofa ma atiina ae. Mafaufau pe faapefea ona faaaoga e fesoasoani ai i isi. E mafai foi, ona e filifili e atiina ae ni meaalofa fou. E mafai ona e sailia meaalofa faaleagaga e ala i le faaaogaina o le faatuatua i le Atua, faatinoina, ma faaaoga e fesoasoani ai i isi. O le a taiala oe e le Atua a o e saili e atiina ae au meaalofa.
