Naʻe tala mai kia kimautolu ʻi he taimi ʻe taha ʻe ha misinale naʻe ʻaʻahi mai mei ʻAfilika, ʻi hono vāhenga-ngāué naʻe fakaafeʻi ai ia ki loto ʻe he tokotaha kotoa pea nau fanongo tokanga ki he ongoongo lelei ʻo e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá. ‘He fakaʻamu ange ē ko au ke u ngāue ʻi he feituʻu hangē ko iá!’ ko ʻeku fakakaukaú ia. Naʻe hanga ʻe he fetalanoaʻaki ko iá ʻo tō ʻiate au, ʻa ia naʻá ku taʻu 13 he taimi ko iá, ʻa e holi ke hoko ko ha misinale.
KAE KEHE, naʻe kamata ke ako ʻa homau fāmilí fekauʻaki mo Sihova ki muʻa ange ia. ʻI he pongipongi ʻe taha ʻi he 1939, naʻe tukituki mai ai ʻi homau matapaá ha ongo talavou teunga maau ʻi Hemel Hempstead, ʻi tuʻa pē ʻi he tonga-hahake ʻo ʻIngilaní. Ko e ongo Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihova kinaua. Naʻe fāʻeleʻi au ʻi he taʻu pē ki muʻá, ko ia ai ʻoku ʻikai te u manatuʻi ʻa e ʻaʻahí. Ke fekau ke na oó, naʻe tala ange kia kinaua ʻe he fineʻeikí ʻe mahuʻingaʻia nai ai ʻa e tangataʻeikí ka te ne toki foki mai ki ʻapi ʻi he 9:00 poʻuli. He ʻohovale moʻoni ē ko ia ʻi heʻena toe foki mai he efiafi pē ko iá! Hili hono fakapapauʻi ʻa e tafaʻaki ʻokú na ʻi ai ʻi he ngaahi ʻīsiu fakapolitikalé mo e mamahiʻi fonuá, naʻe hanga ʻe heʻeku tamaí ko Henry Winfield ʻo fakaafeʻi kinaua ki loto pea naʻá ne tali ke fai ha ako Tohi Tapu. Naʻá ne fakalakalaka vave ʻo aʻu ki heʻene papitaiso. ʻI ha ngaahi taʻu ki mui ai, naʻe toe kamata ai ke ako ʻa ʻeku faʻeé ʻa ia ko Kathleen. Naʻá ne papitaiso ʻi he 1946.
ʻI he 1948, naʻe kamata ai ke u kau maʻu pē ʻi hono malangaʻi ʻa e ongoongo lelei ʻo e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá. Naʻá ku fakakaukau te u fiemaʻu ha uasi ki hono līpooti totonu ʻa e taimi naʻá ku fakamoleki ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekaú. Kapau naʻa mau anga-lelei, naʻa mau faʻa maʻu ai ʻe kimautolu fānaú ha peni ono (ko ha sēniti ʻe ono) ko ʻemau paʻanga toʻotoʻo ʻi he Tokonaki kotoa pē. Naʻá ku tātānaki ʻeku peni onó ʻi he meimei taʻu ʻe ua ke fakatau mai ʻaki ʻa e uasi maʻamaʻa taha naʻe ala maʻu ʻi he taimi ko iá. Kae kehe, ko Ray, ʻa e siʻisiʻi ʻi hoku ongo tuongaʻané, naʻá ne kole maʻu pē ki he tangataʻeikí ke ʻoange ʻa e peni tolu ʻe ua (ongo koini taki peni tolu), ʻo ʻikai ʻaupito ko ha peni ono. ʻI he ʻaho ʻe taha naʻá ne vilitaki lahi ai ke maʻu ʻa e ongo koiní ʻo ʻita ai ʻa e tangataʻeikí. Naʻe kamata ai ke tangi ʻa Ray mo ne pehē naʻá ne fiemaʻu ʻa e peni tolu ʻe uá koeʻuhí ko haʻane meʻa fakapulipuli mo Sihova. Naʻe iku ʻo fakamatala ʻa Ray: “Ko e peni tolu ʻe tahá ke tuku ia ki he puha meʻaʻofá, pea ko e peni tolu ʻe tahá maʻaku.” Naʻe fakatōloʻimata fiefia ai ʻa e fineʻeikí, pea naʻe feinga vave leva ʻa e tangataʻeikí ke ʻoange ʻene koini ʻe uá, pea naʻá ku ako ai ki he mahuʻinga ʻo hono poupouʻi fakapaʻanga ʻo e ngāue ki he Puleʻangá.
ʻI he taimi nai ko ení, naʻe fokotuʻutuʻu ai ʻa e tangataʻeikí ke mau hiki ki he feituʻu naʻe lahi ange ai ʻa e fiemaʻu ʻo e kau fanongonongo ʻo e Puleʻangá. ʻI he 1949 naʻá ne fakatau atu ai ʻa ʻene fāmá mo ʻene fakatauʻanga ʻoneʻone mo e makamaká pea kamata ke ne tāimuʻa, ʻo ngāue ko ha faifekau taimi-kakato ʻa e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová. Naʻá ku papitaiso ʻi Sepitema 24, 1950, ʻi he fakahāhā ʻo ʻeku fakatapui kia Sihová. Mei ai ʻo faai mai, lolotonga ʻemau ngaahi mālōlō he tutuku ʻa e akó, naʻá ku hoko ai ʻo tāimuʻa tokoni, ʻo līʻoa ʻa e houa ʻe 100 he māhina ki he ngāue fakafaifekaú. Ka ko ha kamata pē ia. Naʻe vave ʻa e ʻalu hake ʻa e holi mālohi ʻi hoku lotó ke u fai ʻa e toe meʻa lahi ange ʻi hono ʻai ke laka ki muʻa ʻa e lotu maʻá.
Ko ʻEku Holi ke Hoko ko ha Misinalé
ʻI he 1951, naʻe vaheʻi ai ke ngāue ʻa e tangataʻeikí ʻi Bideford, North Devon. Taimi nounou ʻi heʻemau aʻu ki aí, naʻe ʻaʻahi mai ai ki heʻemau fakatahaʻangá ʻa e misinale naʻe ngāue ʻi ʻAfiliká, ʻa ia naʻá ku lave ki ai ʻi he kamatá. Hili iá, naʻe tākiekina ʻe heʻeku holi ke hoko ko ha misinalé ʻa e ngaahi fili kotoa naʻá ku faí. Naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe he kau faiako ʻi ʻapiakó ʻa ʻeku taumuʻá pea naʻa nau fai ʻa e meʻa kotoa ne nau malavá ke ʻai au ke loto-siʻi, ʻi heʻenau fakaʻamu ke u kumi ha ngāue ʻi he māmaní. Kae kehe, ʻi hoku ʻaho fakaʻosi ʻi he akó, ʻi he taimi naʻá ku ʻalu ai ki he loki ʻo e kau faiakó ke fakamālō kia kinautolu pea ke lea māvaé, naʻe pehē mai ai ʻe ha taha ʻo kinautolu: “ʻOku mau talamonū atu! Ko e tokotaha ako pē koe ʻe taha ʻokú ke ʻiloʻi moʻoni ʻa hoʻo taumuʻa ʻi he moʻuí. ʻOku mau fakatauange te ke aʻusia ʻa hoʻo taumuʻá.”
ʻIkai fuoloa mei ai, naʻá ku maʻu ha ngāue konga-taimi, pea ʻi Tīsema 1, 1955, naʻá ku hoko ai ko ha tāimuʻa tuʻumaʻu. Ki mui ai, naʻe hoko foki ʻa e fineʻeikí mo hoku ongo tuongaʻané ko e kau tāimuʻa. Ko ia ai, naʻe ngāue taimi-kakato ʻi ha ngaahi taʻu ʻa e tokotaha kotoa he fāmilí.

ʻI ha taʻu ʻe taha ki mui ai, naʻá ku maʻu ai ha fakaafe ke ngāue ʻi ʻAilani. Ko ha sitepu eni ki hono aʻusia ʻeku taumuʻa ke hoko ko ha misinalé. ʻI Fepueli 1957, naʻá ku tūʻuta ai fakataha mo e ongo finemui tāimuʻa ʻe toko ua kehe ko June Napier mo Beryl Barker, ʻi Cork ʻi he fakatonga ʻo ʻAilaní.
Ko e ngāue fakamalanga ʻi ʻAilaní naʻe faingataʻa. Naʻe lahi ai ʻa e fakafepaki mei he Siasi Katolika Lomá. Naʻa mau ako ke fakapapauʻi naʻe ʻi ai ha holaʻanga mei ha ʻapātimeni pe ko ha fale nofo totongi, telia naʻa fiemaʻu ke mau mavahe fakavavevave mei ai.

ʻI he taimi ʻe taha lolotonga ʻeku ʻaʻahi mo Beryl ki he ngaahi nofoʻanga ʻi ha fuʻu ʻapi nofo totongi, naʻe kamata ai ke kaikaila ʻo lau mai ha kau leka mo tolomakaʻi kimaua. Ko ia naʻá ma hū ai ki ha falekoloa naʻe hokoʻi ki ha fale ʻo ha taha, ʻa ia naʻe fakatau atu ai ʻa e huʻakau. Naʻe kamata ke fakatahataha mai ha fuʻu kakai fakamoveuveu ʻi tuʻa. ʻI he saiʻia ʻa Beryl he huʻakaú, naʻá ne inu māmālie ai ha ipu ʻe ua pe tolu, ʻi he ʻamanaki ʻe mātuku ʻa e fuʻu kakaí. Naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito. ʻI he taimi ko iá, naʻe hū mai ai ha pātele kei talavou ki he falekoloá. ʻI heʻene fakakaukau ko ha ongo meʻa folau ʻeveʻeva kimauá naʻá ne pehē mai te ne saiʻia ke ʻave ʻo taki mamataʻi kimaua. Kae kehe, naʻá ne ʻuluaki ʻave kimaua ki ha toe loki ʻe taha ʻi he falé, pea ʻi heʻema tangutu fakalongolongo aí, naʻá ne fakahoko ha ouau talatuku ki ha tangataʻeiki naʻe meimei mate. Hili iá naʻa mau mavahe leva mo e pātelé mei he falé. ʻI he sio mai ʻa e fuʻu kakaí ʻokú ma talanoa mo iá, naʻa nau mātuku.

ʻI he 1958 naʻe pau ke fai ai ʻi Niu ʻIoke ʻa e ʻAsemipilī Fakavahaʻapuleʻanga ko e Finangalo Fakaʻotuá. Naʻe ʻalu ki ai ʻa e tangataʻeikí, pea naʻá ku fie ʻalu foki, ka naʻe ʻikai haʻaku paʻanga. Taimi nounou mei ai, naʻe mate fakafokifā ʻa ʻeku kui-fefiné pea naʻe tuku mai ai maʻaku ʻa e pāuni ʻe 100 ($280, U.S.). Ko e folau ʻo ʻalu mo foki mei he ʻasemipilií naʻe pāuni ʻe 96 ($180, U.S.), ko ia naʻe taʻofi ai ʻa hoku sea ke u puna.

Naʻe ʻikai meimei lava ke u tui ki ai! Naʻá ne ʻoange ʻa e ngaahi tohi kole ki he tokotaha kotoa tuku kehe pē au. Naʻá ku fuʻu kei siʻi. Naʻá ku kole ke fakakau atu au ki ai, ʻou fakamatala ange kuó u ʻosi mavahe mei hoku fonua tupuʻangá pea ko hono moʻoní ʻoku ou ʻi ha vāhenga-ngāue fakamisinale. ʻI he sio ki he pau ʻa ʻeku fakamatalá, naʻá ne ʻomai kiate au ha foomu.

ʻI heʻeku fiefia lahí, naʻá ku hū ʻi he kalasi hono 33 ʻi Kiliatí, fakataha mo e kau tāimuʻa kehe ʻe toko 81 mei he ngaahi fonua ʻe 14. Naʻe vave e ʻosi ʻa e ako māhina ʻe nimá. ʻI heʻene ofi ke ʻosí, naʻe fai mai ai ʻe Tokoua Nathan H. Knorr kia kimautolu ha malanga fakaueʻiloto houa ʻe fā. Naʻá ne fakalototoʻaʻi ʻa e faʻahinga naʻe malava ke nau nofo taʻemali ai peé ke nau fai pehē. (1 Kolinito 7:37, 38) Ka ko e faʻahinga ʻia kimautolu naʻe loto ke mali ʻi he kahaʻú, naʻá ne fokotuʻu mai ke mau hiki ha lisi ʻo ʻemau ngaahi fiemaʻu fakafoʻituitui ki ha hoa mali feʻungamālié. Kapau leva ʻe ʻasi mai ha tokotaha ʻe ngalingali hoko ko ha hoa mali ʻi he kahaʻú, ʻe lava ke mau sivisiviʻi ʻa e tokotahá ʻi he tokoni ʻa e ngaahi fiemaʻu ko iá.

Naʻe hoko ʻa e lisi ko ení ko ha tokoni lahi kiate au, ko ha tokotaha taʻu 20 ʻoku teuteu ke ne maʻu ha vāhenga-ngāue ʻi ha fonua mamaʻo.

ʻI he Sāpate, ʻo ʻAokosi 2, 1959, naʻa mau maʻu tohi fakamoʻoni ako ai pea fakahaaʻi mai ai ʻa homau ngaahi vāhenga-ngāué. Ko Vehanouch Yazedjian, Sarah Greco, Ray mo Inger Hatfield, Sonia Springate, Doreen Hines mo au naʻe vaheʻi kimautolu ki Pelēsila. Naʻa mau fiefia ʻaupito. Naʻá ku sioloto atu ki he ngaahi vaotā, fanga ngata, ʻulu ulapa pea mo e kau ʻInitia kula. Kae kehe, ʻi heʻeku tūʻuta aí, ko ha meʻa fakaʻohovale moʻoni ia! ʻI he ʻikai ha vaotā ʻAmasoní, naʻá ku ʻiloʻi ai ʻa Rio de Janeiro, ko ha kolo lahi ʻea māfana mo fakaeonopooni ia, ʻa ia ko e kolomuʻa ia ʻo e koló ʻi he taimi ko iá.
Ko e meʻa faingataʻá leva ko hono ako ʻa e lea faka-Potukalí. Lolotonga ʻa e ʻuluaki māhiná, naʻa mau ako ai ʻi he houa ʻe 11 he ʻaho kotoa pē. Hili ʻa e malanga ʻi Rio pea nofo ʻi ha taimi ʻi he ʻōfisi vaʻa ʻo e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihova ʻi aí, naʻe ʻave ai au ki ha ʻapi misinale ʻi Piracicaba, ʻi he Vahefonua São Paulo, pea ki mui ai ki ha ʻapi misinale ʻi Porto Alegre, ʻi he Vahefonua Rio Grande do Sul.
ʻI he konga ki muʻa leva ʻo e 1963, naʻá ku maʻu ai ha fakaafe ke ngāue ʻi he Potungāue Liliu Lea ʻi he vaʻá. Ko Floriano Ignez da Conceição, ʻa ia naʻá ne akoʻi kimautolu ʻi he lea faka-Potukalí ʻi heʻemau ʻuluaki tūʻuta atú, naʻá ne tokangaʻi ʻa e potungāué. Naʻá ne ako ʻa e moʻoní ʻi he 1944, ʻi he taimi naʻe toko 300 pē nai ai ʻa e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻi Pelēsilá, pea naʻá ne kau ki he kalasi hono 22 ʻi Kiliatí. ʻI he ʻaho ʻe taha, ʻi ha ngaahi māhina ki mui ai, naʻe kole mai ai ʻe Tokoua Conceição ke u nofo ange ʻi he tuku ʻa e ngāué he hoʻataá, he ʻokú ne fie lea mai kiate au.

Naʻá ku kole ange ke tuku mai ha taimi ke u fakakaukau ai ki ai peá u fakavave ki he kai hoʻataá.
Naʻe ʻikai ko Floriano ʻa e ʻuluaki tokoua naʻá ne fakahāhā ha mahuʻingaʻia ʻiate aú. Kae kehe, ʻi he aʻu mai ki he mōmeniti ko iá, naʻe ʻikai ha taha te ne aʻusia ʻa ʻeku ngaahi fiemaʻu fakafoʻituitui ki ha hoa mali feʻungamālié. Naʻá ku tui ne tokoniʻi au ʻe heʻeku lisí ke u kalofi ʻa hono fai ha fili halá. ʻI he taimi ko ení, naʻe kehe ia. Naʻe fakalato ʻe Floriano ʻa e kotoa ʻo ʻeku ngaahi fiemaʻú! Ko ia naʻá ma mali ai ʻi Mē 15, 1965.

Naʻe hoko ʻa e nofo malí ko ha meʻa fakafiefia kia Floriano mo au, neongo ʻa e ngaahi faingataʻa naʻá ma fehangahangai mo iá.

Naʻá ma ʻamanaki ko e ʻea aí ʻe tokoniʻi ai ia ke ne fakaakeake.

Neongo naʻá ne toka mohenga mo puke lahi, naʻá ne tauhi maʻu ʻa ʻene holi ke kau ʻi he ngāue fakamalangá. Naʻá ne tuku ha taipe ʻi hono loki mohé koeʻuhi ke lava ʻo ne tala ai ʻa e ngaahi foʻi lea ke taipeʻí. Naʻá ne toe faifakamoʻoni nounou ki he kau ʻaʻahí.

Naʻe hokohoko faitōnunga atu ʻa e tangataʻeikí ʻi heʻene ngāue tāimuʻá ʻo ne toki mate ʻi he 1979.
Hili e mate ʻa e fineʻeikí, naʻá ku foki ai mo Floriano ki Pelēsila, ʻa ia kuó ma ngāue talu mei ai ʻi he Vahefonua Rio de Janeiro.

Naʻe tali ʻe Bob ʻa e moʻoní pea ki mui ai naʻá ne papitaiso. Naʻe fakaakeake māmālie ʻa Floriano pea kuó ne ngāue ko ha tāimuʻa tuʻumaʻu talu mei ai.

ʻI he faai mai ʻa e ngaahi taʻú, kuó u hokohoko ngāue ai ko ha tāimuʻa makehe, pea kuo tāpuakiʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻeku ngāue fakafaifekaú. ʻI Teresópolis, naʻá ku maʻu ai ʻa e monū fisifisimuʻa ʻo hono tokoniʻi ʻa e kakai laka hake he toko 60 ke nau fakatapui ʻenau moʻuí kia Sihova.
