Ne nonofo e tau matua haaku ko John mo Eva Olson i Spokane, Washington i U.S.A., he 1923, ko e tau ia ne fanau au. Ko laua ko e tau tagata Lutheran ka e nakai talia e fakaakoaga he tapu ke he afi tote, ha kua nakai felauaki ai mo e taofiaga ha laua ke he Atua fakaalofa.

Ti fakailoa mogoia e Matakainaga Rutherford: “Kitiala, molea 15,000 he tau fakamoli foou ke he Kautu!” Ko e mogo tonu ia ne lagomatai au ke fakamatapatu e fifiliaga haaku ke eke e paionia mo fekafekauaga he moui haaku.
TAU KOTOFAAGA HE MAGAFAOA HA MAUTOLU
Fai mahina he mole he toloaga i St. Louis, ne hiki e magafaoa ha mautolu ke he faahi toga ha California. He taone ko Oxnard, ko e kotofaaga ha mautolu ke fakatū e fakapotopotoaga. Nonofo a mautolu he tulela tote ne taha ni e mohega. Ko e “mohega” haaku kua fakatoka he tau pō takitaha i luga he laulau kai ha mautolu—hiki lahi ha ia mai he poko mohe ni haaku!
Ato hohoko a mautolu ki California, ne totoko atu a Sapanī ki Pearl Harbor i Hawaii ia Tesemo 7, 1941. He aho hake, ne matutaki atu a Amerika ke he Felakutaki II he Lalolagi. Ne peehi he tau tui ne mua ke tamate e tau mena, ti kua lata ia mautolu ke tamate e tau molī oti he pō. Ko e tau sapamalini he tau Sapanī hane leoleo e kautahi ha California, ti ko e pouli katoatoa ne lagomatai ke taofi a lautolu neke fana mai ke he taone.

Knorr ne lauga “Mafola—Maeke Nakai ke Tumau?” Fakatutala a ia ke he Fakakiteaga veveheaga 17, ne fakamaama e “manu favale” ne “moui a ia, ti kua nakai moui foki to hake foki a ia mai he pahua nakai gata mai.” (Fakakite. 17:8, 11) Fakamaama he Matakainaga Knorr ko e “manu favale” e Kautaha he Tau Motu ne nakai liu gahuahua he 1939. Talahau tuai he Tohi Tapu to hukui e Kautaha, ti takitaki atu ke he magahala he mafola. Ti pihia tonu he 1945, ne oti e Felakutaki II he Lalolagi. Mole ia, liu kitia e “manu favale” ko e Tau Motu Kaufakalataha. Ne fakalaulahi he Tau Fakamoli a Iehova ha lautolu a gahua fakamatala he lalolagi katoa, ti ha ha ai e tupu lahi mahaki ne nakaila pihia fakamua!

Ko au mo Evelyn, fakalataha mo Leo mo Esther Mahan, ne hohoko mai ke he kotofaaga foou ha mautolu i El Salvador ia Iuni 1946. Moua e mautolu e fonua ia “kua hina mai nai ke he heleheleaga saito.” (Ioane 4:35) Ko e mena ne tupu ne totoku he kamataaga he tala nei kua fakakite e ita lahi mahaki he tau akoako. He tapu fakamua, ne taute e mautolu e toloaga takaiaga fakamua i Santa Ana. Ne fakatātā fakalaulahi e mautolu e lauga ke he toloaga ti fiafia lahi he teitei 500 ne hohoko mai. He fakamatakutaku ke o kehe he taone, ne malolō lahi e logonaaga ha mautolu ke eketaha ke nonofo mo e lagomatai a lautolu ne loto fakamooli. Pete kua hataki he akoako e tau tagata ke nakai totou e Tohi Tapu mo e tokofiha ni ne moua e lagaki, tokologa kua hoge ma e kupu mooli. Loto fakaaue a lautolu ke he tau laliaga ha mautolu ke fakaako e vagahau Sepania ke maeke ia mautolu ke fakaako a lautolu hagaao ke he Atua mooli, ko Iehova, mo e hagaao ke he amaamanakiaga uho lahi he fakafoou e Parataiso he lalolagi.
Ko Rosa Ascencio ko e taha he tau tagata fakaako fakamua atu haaku. He mole e kamata a ia ke fakaako e Tohi Tapu, ne vevehe a ia mai he tagata taane ne nofo mo ia. Ti kamata e tagata taane ke fakaako e Tohi Tapu. Ne mau a laua, papatiso mogoia, ti eke ai mo Tau Fakamoli fakamakutu ha Iehova. Ko Rosa e paionia fakamua he matakavi i Santa Ana. b
Ne fai fale koloa tote a Rosa. Ka fano a ia he fonua, ne pā e ia e fale koloa haana ti falanaki ki a Iehova ke leveki e tau mena kua lata mo ia.

He taone lahi ko San Salvador, taha misionare foki ne fakaako e Tohi Tapu mo e hoana he enisinia ne higoa ko Baltasar Perla. Ko e tagata loto mitaki ia kua galo e tua ke he Atua he kitia e fakatupua he tau takitaki lotu. Mogo ne hoko mai ke tā e la ofisa, ne ole a Baltasar ne nakaila haia he kupu mooli, ke fakatoka mo e talaga e fale ka e nakai totogi e gahua haana.
He fakalataha mo e tau tagata ha Iehova he gahua talaga, ne talitonu a Baltasar kua moua e ia e lotu mooli. Ne papatiso a ia he Iulai 22, 1955, ti nakai leva papatiso e hoana haana ko Paulina. Fekafekau fakamooli e fanau tokoua ha laua ki a Iehova. Ko e tama taane haana ko Baltasar, Jr., ne fekafekau he Peteli i Brooklyn ke 49 e tau, ne lalago e ia e gahua fakamatala he lalolagi katoa hane tupu lahi ti kua fekafekau mogonei he La Komiti i Amerika. c
He kamata a mautolu ke taute e tau fonoaga i San Salvador, lagomatai he Matakainaga Perla a mautolu ke fakaaoga e fale faofao tino lahi. Mogo fakamua, fakaaoga ne mautolu e falu atu nofoa; ka ko e fakamonuinaaga ha Iehova, ne tupu tokologa a mautolu he tau tau takitaha ato puke e fale ti ai hao oti ai! He tau feleveiaaga fiafia ia, kitia e au a lautolu ne fakaako e Tohi Tapu mo au. Manamanatu la ke he logonaaga haaku he mogo ne fakafeleveia he tau fakaako Tohi Tapu fakamua haaku au ke he “tau mokopuna” haaku—ko lautolu kua papatiso foou ne fakaako mo lautolu!
He taha toloaga, taha e matakainaga taane ne hau ki a au ti pehē kua manako a ia ke fai manatu fakakite. Nakai mailoga e au a ia mo e fia iloa ai au. Pehē a ia, “Ko au taha tama taane ne tauliti patuō a koe i Santa Ana.” Kua fekafekau a ia mo au ki a Iehova! Ne malagaki e loto haaku he olioli. Ko e fakatutalaaga ia ne fakamooli ki a au ko e fekafekauaga mau e gahua ne mua atu e palepale mitaki ka fifili he ha tagata.

Teitei 29 e tau ne matutaki au he gahua misionare i El Salvador, fakamua he taone ko Santa Ana, ti Sonsonate, ti Santa Tecla, ti fakahiku ki San Salvador. He 1975, he mole e manamanatu fakalahi he liogi, ne fifili au ke toka e kotofaaga misionare haaku mo e liu ki Spokane. Kua lata e tau matua fuakau fakamooli haaku mo e lagomataiaga haaku.
He mole e mate he matua taane haaku he 1979, ne leveki e au e matua fifine ne kua holo ki mua e lolelole mo e nakai fahia lahi. Ne moui a ia ke 8 foki e tau ti mate he 94 e tau. He magaaho uka ia, ne mategūgū e tino mo e logonaaga haaku. Ne tupu mai e gagao shingle ha ko e tupetupe lahi. Ka ko e liogi mo e tau lima fakaalofa ha Iehova ne peka viko ia au ke fakamalolō au, ne maeke au ke fakauka ke he kamatamata ia. Tuga kua pehē a Iehova, “ke hoko foki ke he uluhina, . . . to toto foki e au, to uta ai e au, mo e laveaki e au a koe.”—Isaia 46:4.
He 1990, hiki au ki Omak i Washington. Ne logona e au e aoga lahi he fonua vagahau Sepania, ti tokologa e fakaako Tohi Tapu haaku ne papatiso. Ia Novema 2007, ne nakai maeke au ke leveki e kaina haaku i Omak, ti hiki au ke he poko he taone ne tata i Chelan i Washington. Ko e fakapotopotoaga Sepania hinei kua leveki fakamitaki au tali mai, ko e mena kua loto fakaaue lahi ai au. Ha ko au ni e Fakamoli fuakau hinei, ne “hiki” he tau matakainaga au mo “tupuna fifine” ha lautolu.
Pete ne nakai fifili au ke fai taane mo e fai magafaoa ke maeke au ke fekafekau fakalahi he fekafekauaga mo e “nakai fakalavelave,” ne tokologa e fanau fakaagaaga haaku. (1 Kori. 7:34, 35) Fakakakano e au he moui nei, nakai moua e au e tau mena oti kana. Ti tuku fakamua e au e tau mena fakamua—ko e tukuleleaga loto katoa haaku ke fekafekau ki a Iehova. He lalolagi foou, to lahi e magaaho ke olioli ke he tau matagahua oti kua atihake. Ko e kupu tohi mahuiga haaku ko e Salamo 145:16, ne fakamafana a tautolu to “fakamakona e manako he tau mena momoui oti.”

Fakamalolō mooli he mena nei e tua haaku. Maaliali ai, ko e agaaga tapu mooli ha Iehova kua lalago e tau laliaga he tau tagata haana!
