| I am looking for information and pictures regarding The Tongan Mission of the LDS Church during 1915-1917. My grandfather, Claude Billings, served there during those years. I do have some pictures of his time there, and would like to share what I have, and see what others may have from that time period. He was mainly serving in the Vava'u island group. And I have found the journals of President Willard L. Smith. Please let me know if I can access your site. Thanks, Randy Shaw |

Hello...I am daughter to Tom Tu'italau Tonga (Jun 6, 1940-Nov 12, 2003). He left a chronicle of scripts that described the journey of specific missionaries who left an impact upon the Tonga/Tomasi family lineage. In the year 2015, we share the chronicle in hopes to re-establish the commitment the Tonga/Tomasi family has for the building & edifying in LDS missionary work (Tonga, USA, New Zealand, Australia, Samoa, & various parts of the world). Meleane Tohu'ia Tomasi shared her experience with her children & her son (Tom Tu'italau Tonga) wrote of the journey Meleane experienced as a staff member w/Seini Tone (director) @ the "Matavaimo'ui" (service) around Feb. 1921. Meleane dedicated 5 solid years of her life (age 12 to age 17) working @ Matavaimo'ui for the LDS Mission. Tom writes of Makeke (education school) developed by the LDS church. The names of missionaries who left an impression for Meleane at the time are listed by her son (Tom Tu'italau Tonga. Here's a peek into his writing, " GO TO SCHOOL AT "MAKEKE" WHICH WAS A "NEW MORMON CHURCH SCHOOL" THEY JUST STARTED TO BUILD IN TONGA.. HERE IS AN "INCOMPLETE LIST OF MORMON MISSIONARIES" THAT "MELEANE TOHU'IA TOMASI" USE TO TALK ABOUT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE : 1) MISI FISA ( ELDER FISHER) 2) MISI SEMISI ( ELDER JAMES) 3) MISI 'OLOSINI (ELDER OLSEN) 4) MISI TIPELI ( ELDER DIPPLE)
5) MISI VAIPUKA ( ELDER WYBURG) 6) MISI UILIATA ( ELDER WILLARD) 7) MISI 'EVONA ( ELDER EVONS HUNTSMAN) 8) MISI LOPETI (ELDER ROBERTS) 9) MISI SITOUNI ( ELDER STONE) 10) MISI TIMANI ( ELDER DEMONT COOMBS) THIS LIST IS BY NO MEANS COMPLETE BUT THESE NAMES WERE QUITE FAMILIAR TO US CHILDREN WHEN WE GREW UP IN OUR HOME AND WE ALWAYS HEARD OUR MOTHER "MELEANE TOHU'IA TOMASI TONGA" TALKED ABOUT THESE PEOPLE AS IF THEY WERE MEMBERS OF HER OWN FAMILY.

I'm looking for the most accurate translation of the beautiful Tongan Hymn Folo Folo Mai a Sisu.
Our family is learning to sing it and my 10 year old son asked "What does 'O folo fola' mean? I can tell it's powerful and good. I wish I knew what it meant!'
I also wish I could figure out what is is about poly missionaries singing...
We're a very musical family. We gain and bear testimony through song.
But poly's... WOW.
Is there a story? Why is it so powerful?
Obviously a spiritual gift.
Thank you!
Lisa Reed. |

| I am the wife of Sikahema Kauvaka who attended Liahona High School while you served in the mission office there. I have not been accepted to sign in and get your information to get in contact with you. I have tried contacting you through a bishop that lives in your area and that didn't work either. If you get on please e-mail me at tksk1023@hotmail.com. I would like to get you and my husband in contact with each other. |

Heber McKay is my grandfather. He and W.O. Facer were sent from Samoa to re-open Tonga to missionary work in 1907. I am trying to find any information that I can about his mission. I have been told that there is a picture of my grandfather and his companions that hangs in the Tongan Temple. Is this true?
I would to have any information that anyone knows of.

Just a note: The Sunday just before General Conference, like this year, Sept. 24, the Missionary board of retired Mission Presidents, usually have a Fireside for all future and return missionaries, and all are usually invited... My guess this year will be in Salt Lake North or South Stake Centers, approx 6:30 PM, and theres a gathering the following friday usually for a outfit comp...ha, ha......just incase you don't have plans to go anywhere.
Address for North Stake Center is approx. 3250 South, 4450 West, in West Valley, Utah.
South Stake is approx: 5050 South, 4650 West... |

Bula from Fiji,
I'm trying to locate a friend and would appreciate your assistance.
His name is William Peni Cornett and the last I heard of him, he was serving his mission in Niue. I think he's in the States now but am not sure.
If you know Peni or know anyone who does, would appreciate it if you could drop me a line.
Malo,
