the lack of internet is one excuse

but it's not a good enough excuse as to why I have not posted a lot. well, today marks TWO MONTHS of being here. I will definitely go into more detail later. but please pray that I have the patience to just finish all the other blog posts and get em up.

i hope i dont have many of these "pending blog posts are coming soon" posts. i've got lots to share. so just give me a little more time.

for HIS glory and the furthering of HIS kingdom,

Koe Tohitapu


Since I’ve been here in Tonga, I’ve been getting better with my Tongan. I’ve also been listening to the beautiful, melodic Tongan hymns at church and even at home. This one is my favourite one so far.
The Title is Koe Tohitapu, “The Bible”.

Koe Tohitapu koe kapasa  ia ‘o ‘etau folau
Ko ia pe a e nonga pea moe  u
Ngaue aki ‘a e Tohi ni  ki he houa ‘o e mo’ui ni
Ka ta a’usia ‘a itaniti

Ala  mai ‘Eiki kiate au
Ngaohi  au keu taau ma’au
‘Ala mai ko’ eni pe
Me’a  kuo u  ma’u
Pukepuke  atu  pe ‘a ho‘o  Tohitapu

Ko ho ‘o folofola ‘Eiki te u  fufu  ‘i hoku loto
Ke oua na’a ku toe  angahala kiate  koe
Kau muimui atu o fai ki he Tohitapu
Kai kehe  pe  tu’u ‘a lupe ‘iate  au
