“Ke Ne ʻIate Kinautolu mo Fakamālohia ‘a Kinautolu”

ʻOku ou fakaongo atu e lea ʻa Ralph Waldo Emerson, ʻi heʻene pehē ko e ngaahi momeniti fakangalongataʻa taha ʻo e moʻuí, ʻa e ngaahi momeniti ko ia ʻoku tau ongoʻi ai e fasitanunu mai e fakahaá.¹ Palesiteni Nalesoni, ʻoku ʻikai ke u ʻiloʻi pe ko e foʻi “fasitanunu” ʻe fiha te mau matatali he uike ní. ʻOku ʻi ai hamau niʻihi ʻoku mafu vaivai.

Te u hoko atu ki he ngāue fakaʻofoʻofa ko ia ne vahe mai ʻe Palesiteni Russell M. Nelson kiate au mo Sisitā Jean B.

ʻI he ʻaho Sāpate ko e 14 ʻo Sanuali ne toki ʻosí, ʻi he hili siʻi pē ʻa e 5:00 efiafi, naʻe talanoa ai hoku ongo kaungāmeʻa kei talavou ko Pāleti mo Kilisitina Hemiliní ʻi honau ʻapi ʻi Temipā, ʻAlisona, hili ha ngāue ʻaho kakato ʻa Pāleti ʻi he kau pīsopelikí kae femoʻuekina ʻa Kilisitina hono tokangaʻi ʻena fānau ʻe toko nimá.

Naʻe meimei kaila atu ʻa Pāleti ʻo pehē ange: “ʻOku ou fie maʻu koe heni—he taimí ni!”
