My name is
John H. Groberg.

I served my first mission
to Tonga in the 1950s

as a 19-year-old young man
from a small town in Idaho.

The things I experienced there,

the people I met
changed me forever.

The faith of the Tongan people

and their unconditional love

live on in my heart to this day.

When I returned home
after three years,

I married the love
of my life, Jean Sabin.

And we settled in Idaho Falls
where we started our family

which soon included
four vivacious girls.

It was the '60s and the world
was changing in profound ways.

Reeling from President
Kennedy's assassination,

the tragedy of the Vietnam War,

and the eruption of an exuberant
rock and roll counterculture.

But the most powerful
change of all

came when African Americans,

led by a Baptist minister
named Martin Luther King, Jr.,

demanded their civil rights.

I remember watching Dr. King
speak to 200,000 supporters

on the National Mall
in Washington DC.

As I watched him on my little
black and white TV set,

inside my little house
in Idaho Falls...

I have a dream today.

I felt
a familiar spirit.

It was the spirit of
the Tongan ministers

I had heard preach

during my mission to Tonga.

Men whose faith and
works were mighty.

Since that time,
I have known and served

with some of the most wonderful
religious leaders

the world has ever known.

But all these years later,
I can say in all sincerity,

that none of them
were better men

than the humble,
faithful ministers I met

during my time in Tonga.

Those in whose hearts
burns most brightly

the Fire of Faith.

Daddy.

Hey, here we go, ready?

Hup, hey, around.

My turn.

Don't fight
over your daddy.

It's okay,
I have two arms, come here.

- Ready? Off we go.
- Whee.

- Yes.
- Yay.

Ah, now I'm dizzy.

Daddy.

Ah, Jean, that's our song.

Sister Olsen, would you mind?

Absolutely, Bishop.

All right, girls,
you stay with sister Olsen,

it's Mommy's turn.

Let's go, kick off those shoes.

There you go.

Don't overexert yourself.

You'd think I was pregnant
with our fifth baby.

You are.

That's it.

Nice.

Okay, how about this?

And up and over. Yes.

Be careful, Mommy.

Go, Jean!

Beautiful.

Jean, what's wrong, honey?
Are you okay?

Jean, are you all right?

Jean, how can I help?

What's wrong, honey?
How can I help?

I'm just kidding.

Hey!

Still got it.

You still got it.

Come on, girls.

Daddy, yay!

Here, hold my hand.

And apart, and together,

and apart, and...

Yep, watch your step.

Good night, Bishop.

Good night,
Sister Cadmol.

Great party.

Thank you for
coming, Sister Smith.

Whoo.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Aww.

It's so peaceful out here.

Yeah, it is, isn't it?

All the noise and
the joy in the church,

and then...

just peace.

Kind of makes me...

Feel like I... I...

I wanna burst.

Well, forgive me, my dear,
but I think you're about to.

Ha ha.

John, you do know you're
driving without your lights on.

I do know.

It seems like it'd be an insult
to all this beautiful moonlight.

Do you have any idea
how many miles

that light has traveled
to shine down on you?

I know. I know.

On us.

Even better.

Good afternoon, Natani,

I see your wife is better.

Yes, there, Minister.

Our prayers have been answered.

Thanks be to God.

And to you.

My faith was in God,

I hope yours was also.

We only knew of God
because of what you taught us.

And I because of
what others had taught me.

We thank you for
listening to them,

so that you could teach us.

There have been others
who have taught us as well.

We've decided
to join with the Mormons.

We have brought you
this month's offering,

some ufi, some talo
and baby pig.

God willing, we'll have
enough to give offerings

to both churches
this coming year.

That will not be necessary.

We are in your debt.

You are in God's debt,

and this is how you repay him,

with this... with this
blasphemy, huh?

We had hoped that you would
give us your blessing.

I cannot do that.

Then we can only give you ours.

Thanks be to God for you,
Reverend Paletu'a.

You brought us to Christ.

Natani!

Do not ever come back.

- Fatai.
- Yes.

Take this food,
burn it in the fire.

Yes, Father.

Throw the pig
in the sea.

But Father...

Throw the pig
in the sea.

So you're telling
me you're at an impasse?

Bishop, I haven't
budged one bit.

Only person at an
impasse here is her.

Get your finger out of my face

or I'll bite it off.

Sister Lawson, please
don't bite your husband.

Sister Lawson.

If he's gonna
treat me like a dog,

I may as well act like one.

Your dog is the problem.

My dog saved your life.

I would have gotten out
of there without its help.

You would have died stuck
on the pot and you know it.

Sister, brother...
Lawson's, please.

You ought to thank
your lucky stars

Bonnie came in
with the newspaper.

Okay, all right, all right.

Uh, Bishop Groberg,
are you okay?

Yes, but...

please tell me how
I'm supposed to feel

when two of my ward's stalwarts

are threatening
divorce over a dog.

Uh, I-I'm sorry, Bishop,

but that dog pees everywhere.

Look who's talking.

A-And... she...

She loves that dog
more than she loves me.

That's because he treats
me better than you do.

Is that true, Verl?

What, that
she loves the dog

more than she loves me?

That the dog treats
her better than you do.

Well, I don't know, Bishop.

I mean, I don't roll
over and play dead

every time she asks,
if that's what you mean.

Yeah, and you don't curl up
and snuggle with me either,

unless you want something.

Well, it sounds to me

like you're both getting
better treatment from the dog

than you are from each other.

No, but that's the
whole point, Bishop,

that's why we gotta
get rid of him.

- Or you.
- Or you.

I said it first.

I rest my case.

I'm hungry, Mommy.

It will be ready soon.

Bang, bang,
you're dead, Lucy girl.

Nancy don't kill
your sister in the kitchen.

You can't kill me,
I just killed you.

Girls, don't talk like that.

We're not talking,
we're yelling!

Kaboom! That's my canon!
Kaboom! Kaboom!

Who put a Q-tip in the yogurt?

I wanna eat, Mom.

- Bang, bang!
- Boom!

Oh, what in
the world, John?

I had another
meeting with the Lawsons.

Uh, no, you... ah.

Can you put that thing
in the garage please?

Good idea.

Okay.

He likes you, Daddy.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, I got a letter
from Salt Lake today,

I think it's a mistake, though,

because it's addressed
to Elder Groberg.

Hmm.

Ah, girls, help... help me clean
this up, will you? Come on.

Put them all
on the side, this one...

Is very heavy.

John, what's wrong?

How soon can you have that baby?

Dear, Brother Groberg,

you are hereby called to serve

as President of the
Tonga Fiji mission.

You will serve for
a period of three years

at the mission headquarters
in Nuku'alofa, Tonga.

You will preside over
200 missionaries

on 40 islands
in three countries,

speaking five languages.

We trust the Lord will
watch over you and your family

as you lose yourself
in His service.

She loves being held by you.

I love her, but when are we
gonna get a boy, Mommy?

Well, whenever Heavenly Father
sends us one, darling.

Where is your father?

Selling kava at the
other end of the market.

I do not think he would approve
of your talking to me.

My father would not
approve of many things.

How is our little pig?

He's not here for sale
if you're looking to buy him.

I am going to make
him big and fat,

and I am going to offer
him to your father again.

I don't think my father
will change his mind.

Then I will own the oldest,

fattest pig in all of Tonga.

Why did you do it, Natani?

Why did you leave
my father's church?

I had questions your
father could not answer.

But you shamed
our family, our village.

I honored your father.

I honored your father by
building upon the truth

that he gave to me.

If he allowed me, I would
tell him all about it.

He would rather die.

He would rather I die.

Perhaps.

I heard my father speaking
with the leaders of the village.

You should move, quickly,
before there is trouble.

But Tofua is my home.

Tofua was your home.

Until you joined
with the Mormons.

I heard my father say it
with my own ears.

There will never
be Mormons in Tofua.

Ever.

Your family is young,
your farm is small.

You can do better elsewhere.

You'll be safer elsewhere.

You will help me?

I will come tomorrow night.

My father sleeps soundly
after eating momo.

Toutai.

Thank you for warning me.

Thank you for taking
care of my pig.

Wow, Daddy,
everybody's brown here.

Yes, they are.

And everything's green.

Everything but the sea.

Is this where I'll shop?

Uh, well,
there's a store in town,

but the freshest
stuff is all here.

Sure is fresh.

- There it is.
- It's our new home.

Isn't it great?

That was a wonderful
dinner, Sister Dalton.

You should thank Siueti.

- Malo aupito, Siueti.
- Yes, thank you.

Thank you
so much, Sister Siueti.

You're welcome, Elder Monson.

Can we be excused now, Mommy?

Um...

Just stay in the courtyard.

Let's go.

Not you, honey, it's bedtime.

Up.
Come on. No, no.

Go with Kesaia, please.

President... Groberg,

Sister Dalton and I were
talking with Elder Monson

before you arrived.

I know you've been a
missionary in Tonga before,

but I'm not sure
you've thought about

how this place
suits your children.

We just worry about
how young your family is.

Ew, Nancy, that's gross.

Well, I'm sure the Lord
will take care of us.

The Lord cares for those
who care for themselves.

Missionaries have
died serving here.

The medical care is primitive.

You should ask to be reassigned.

That's a juicy one!

Uh, President Dalton, I...

we appreciate your concern.

Elder Monson, you were
involved in our call,

what do you think?

I think President
Dalton is right.

And I
think you are right.

I'm sorry?

The Lord could make good
use of you elsewhere,

but I think if you decide to
stay and trust in the Lord,

there will be challenges,

but He will take care of you.

We thank all of you
for your concerns.

Yes.

But we believe the Lord
sent us here for a reason,

and we believe He
will see us through.

Yeah, well, I understand.

But I'm not sure you do.

Yes, President...

I think he does.

But what about...

Why don't we go
back to the hotel

so that John and Jean
can get settled.

Certainly.

You made the right choice.

Squish, squish,
squish, got 'em!

Me too.

We're killing bugs, Mommy.

Yeah, I can see that.

We'll be at the
hotel if you need anything.

Thank you. Have a safe flight.

Let's go, girls.

Get 'em.

Got him!

Big one.

Two one.

Okay, so let me
get this straight,

we have ten districts.

Eleven.

Eleven districts,
uh, 100 branches.

Ninety-eight.

Thank you, Nancy.

Uh, 200 missionaries,

10,000 members on
40 different islands.

In three different countries.

And five languages.

Okay, uh, who handles
the finances?

Um, you do.

Uh, government relations?

Also you.

Chapel construction?

So, tell me,

when am I supposed to
do missionary work?

The cart horse seemed
tired today, huh, Fatai?

Yes, Father, it did.

And then this morning,

Natani and his family are gone.

Like bats in the night,

disappeared.

Coming back from the garden,

I find this on the beach,

full of seaweed.

Did I not ask you to
throw Natani's pig in the sea?

Yes, Father, you did.

And did you do it?

You were very angry.

Did you do what I asked?

No.

I thought you would
regret your decision.

So you defy me?

You taught me to never
waste what God gives us.

This is not from God.
This is from the devil.

No, it's from Natani,

who loves and admires you.

And he has left my church,

and our village with your help.

You taught me to always
serve my brother.

I taught you to
obey your father.

Before those were
always the same.

And why not now, huh?

Because you are not yourself.

Because you are afraid.

Afraid?

- Hmm? What am I...
- Please, please, please.

Please.

Afraid of what?

Of teachings.

Teachings you do not understand.

What are you talking about, huh?

The things that...

the things that Natani
learned from the Mormons,

they make sense to me...

Gah!

Both of you, get out.

Get the shovels.

Get out!

Sione, Sione.

Think about my church.

Please, please. No, don't.

He must learn.

Enough!

And even though
they were sick,

the missionaries stood up
in the back of their wagon

and they raised
their arms in the air,

and they yelled
"Hurrah for Israel!"

- Hurrah for Israel!
- Hurrah for Israel!

Yeah, that's right.

And they all lived
happily ever after.

Good night, girls.

Daddy?

Yes, Nancy.

How come do all your stories
end happily ever after?

That's because I'm
telling them to you.

No, really, even your
sad stories seem to end happy.

Well, if you're good,

and you wait long enough,

all your stories
will end happily.

I lost all my friends in
Idaho when we moved here,

what's happy about that?

In three years, you're
gonna go back to Idaho

and you will be
happy to see them.

My cousin Levi died,

what's happy about that?

When you die,

you will be with Levi in heaven.

Honest?

Honest.

Sometimes I get scared
and lonely here.

Sometimes I do too.

What do you do when
you feel that way?

I tell stories with happy
endings to my daughters.

Daddy?

Yes, Nancy.

If I die before you,

wherever I go,

I will wait for you there.

Thank you, honey.

I will...

I will wait for you too.

Enough.

Get up.

You, get in.

Get in the hole.

Get in.

You will spend the night here
and have a good think.

We shall see how you feel

about these Mormons
in the morning, huh.

Fatai!

I will come back for
you in the morning.

Yes, my father.

Spend this time
with yourself, huh.

Have a good think.

Fatai, come.

What was that?

Oh, it's just coconuts

being blown out
of the tree, honey.

John!

My eyes,
Daddy, my eyes!

Oh be careful, Jean.

Okay, sweetie, yeah,
keep your eyes closed.

Shh. That's it.

Hey, keep your eyes
closed, sweetie.

- I've got glass in my eyes.
- That's okay. Come on.

Come on, everything's okay.
Everything's fine.

Okay. Ow!

Okay, come on, come on.

- My eyes.
- It's okay.

Oh, God.

Dear, God.

Please have mercy!
Give me strength!

Ahh!

God! Oh, dear God!

Your brother,
he'll die.

Fatai, come!

Get the gate.

Father.

Let me help you.

Fatai, go get your brother.

Ahh!

Fatai!

Fatai. Fatai!

Fatai!

Natani! Natani, come quick.

Toutai, my brother,
what happened to you?

Peace,
I leave with you.

My peace I give unto you.

Not as the world giveth...

Give I unto you.

Do not let your
heart be troubled.

Neither let it be afraid.

Toutai?

You are awake.

I'm so happy to see you.

Why did you come?
What are you doing here?

I need...

I want you to baptize me.

Okay, Toutai,

I will baptize you tomorrow

but you need to go back to bed.

- No.
- You need to rest.

I need...

I want to be baptized now.

You have the authority.

Toutai,

it is the middle of the night.

I will baptize you
in the morning.

If I die before morning,

I want to die baptized.

You are sure?

I am sure.

Okay, I will baptize you.

Tonga Toutai Paletu'a.

Yes, that is me, Lord.

Having been commissioned
of Jesus Christ.

I love Jesus Christ.

I baptize you in
the name of the Father.

I love the Father.

And of the Son.

I love the Son.

And of the Holy Ghost.

I feel the Holy Ghost.

- Amen.
- Amen.

I have to put you
under the water now.

I know.

It will probably hurt a lot.

I know that too.

Toutai?

Toutai, my friend.

Where have you gone?

When you wake up,

we are going to
have a long talk.

My doll's a pretty one.

My doll's prettier.

Oh, girls, don't fight.

We're not.

We are too.

Jean? Jean, we got it!

Got what?

Approval to build
a chapel in Niuatoputapu.

In new what?

I just got word
from Elder Monson,

he's going to come visit us.

Oh, that's wonderful, John.

How do you
spell that island?

It doesn't matter,
I'm taking you there.

What?

When?

Tomorrow morning.

I can't wait for you
to see it, Jean.

This is the place
where it all happened.

I know, I remember.

I remember.

Careful on
the dock, girls.

It's so strange not having
Marilyn and Jane with us.

Oh, I know, but Siueti
will take good care of them.

So how long does
it take to get there?

Uh, five days.

Give or take.
We have to tow that barge.

It depends on the weather.

Oh, watch your step.

Careful, girls.

Josiah, be
careful with them.

This dock is
not in great shape.

There's a hole right there.

Daddy, what's that?

You'll see.

Isn't he cute?

You like it? Oh.

Be careful, she might bite you.

She doesn't have teeth yet. Ow!

She does.

It's a miracle, you know.

What is a miracle, Kolipoki?

That there's going to be
a chapel on Niuatoputapu.

You're right,

it is a miracle.

Yes, it is.

It is also a miracle that

we are here on this
boat together, eh.

Why is that?

Because we are old friends.

Well, why don't I
recognize you, then?

Because I'm all grown up.

When I was little,
I fell from a mango tree

and hit my head on the roots.

I was dead through the night

but your prayers
brought me back.

Nuku.

- You're Nuku?
- Yeah.

What? Come here.

Why didn't you tell me?

You didn't ask.

It is such a blessing
to see you.

What are you doing here?

I am working to save
money for my mission.

Ah, of course you are.

Hey, come with me.
I want you to meet my family.

Girls, there's
someone I want you to meet.

This is Nuku.

Nu who?

You remember the boy
on my mission

that God brought
back from the dead?

Is it true?

Are you really him?

Yes, I am Nuku.

I've always wanted
to meet a miracle.

Me too.

Jean!

Jean, come here, there's
someone I want you to meet.

This is Nuku, the boy who
fell from the mango tree.

How wonderful
to meet you.

Uh, I should go back
to my post now.

Ah.

I have to keep watch
on the barge.

Can we go with him, Daddy?

Please?

All right, just for a little
while, but do what he says,

and stay away from
the edge of the boat.

- I will.
- Okay.

We will.

Not you, you're too small.

What are they doing, Daddy?

They have to take
turns on the barge.

Here we go.

Nuku, you can't go.

Why not?

Because you are our miracle.

Well, then,

why don't you come with me?

Can I, Daddy?

Can we?

Uh...

Just Nancy, and just
for a little bit.

- Yippee!
- Wah.

Come on.

Wait a minute,
we forgot Abigail.

Who?

Our goat.

The goat. Okay, hold on. Oh.

Ready?

Come on, let's go.

Be careful, Nancy.

- I will, Mom.
- I wanted to go.

Well, when you're older, okay?

Promise.

Oh.

Kolipoki, Kolipoki,
come quickly.

Come.

Look.

Reel 'em in. Reel 'em in!

It's too heavy in the waves.

Well, cut the engine!

We'll lose control.

Come on!

Turn.

No, don't grab it.

No, no, no, no, no, no!

The boat, to the boat.

- Come on.
- Nancy!

Daddy!

Ah, it's stuck!

Help!

Take my hand!

Nuku.

John, do something!

Jean, get back inside.

- You have to save her!
- Get back inside!

I got you.

Jean!

Go back inside
with the children.

Kolipoki, Kolipoki,
you have to cut the rope.

The barge will sink.

Do it now, or we will all die.

All right.

Do it!

Daddy!

Why?

Please.

Please!

Not my child.

Don't take my girl.

Please...

We're okay, Daddy.

Jean, they're all right.

We're alive.

Hurrah for Israel!

- Hurrah for Israel!
- Hurrah for Israel!

- Hurrah!
- Hurrah!

It's gone.

In the storm.

What do we do?

John, what
are we doing here?

This is where we get off.

How?

You'll see.

No, John.
John, what is this?

This is our only choice.

No, it's not.
We can turn around and go back.

Go ahead, Nancy.

Go ahead.

This is going
to be the hard part.

No, no, no, no, no.

- That's it, that's it.
- No, no, no.

- Okay. Jean, it's okay.
- No, John.

It's okay, it's okay.

No. Ah!

Feki?

Feki Po'uha.

Okay, just get me up there.

Okay, okay.

Welcome back, Kolipoki.

Malo e lei lei.

It's good to be back.

It's good to have you.

And my son with you.

He didn't remember me.

Well, he's all grown up.

Yes, Kolipoki. Please.

Good to see you, Kolipoki.

Yes, very good to see you.

Oh.

I can't believe
you still have these.

Thank you for our
family, Kolipoki.

Well,
you're very welcome.

And you,

really are as beautiful
as he said you were.

So are you.

Ah.

They are
beautiful, Kolipoki!

Asi.

Your feet are fine.

Yes, they're fine, they're fine.

It's been a long time, Kolipoki.

It's been a long time.

This is my family.
My wife, Ole.

Ole, this is my wife, Jean.

Feki, what are you doing here?

I will build your
chapels, Kolipoki,

and you will fill them.

Abigail.

- Abigail.
- She's alive.

- Wait up, Abigail.
- Abigail!

Come on.

True love.

Yes.

Jean, are you okay?

Honey, are you all right?

You've never been
seasick before.

I don't think that
seasickness is the problem.

I want you to know
that even when it's hard...

Especially when it's hard,

I know we are about God's work.

I will be praying for your
success and happiness.

In the name of
Jesus Christ, Amen.

Amen.

Thank you, Sister Groberg.

All right, Elders and Sisters,

I will now announce
missionary assignments

for our new missionaries.

Elder Mapa?

Here, Kolipoki.

You'll be training
Elder Wolfgramm in Nomuka.

Thank you, President.

You're welcome.

Sisters Mataele and Niu?

You will be serving together
in the Liahona District.

Elder Paletu'a?

You will be serving with
Elder Latu in Niuatoputapu.

Welcome,

Elder Paletu'a.

Elders,

that is my island.

We know, Kolipoki.

Thank you for sending us there.

Give them all my love.

We will.

Foggy day, no?

Yes, Reverend Sione.

Very foggy.

Good for planting.

And fishing.

This is true.

You look tired, Reverend Sione.

In one year, I have
lost both my sons.

One of
them still lives.

Both of them are dead to me.

I have felt your pain

and I have prayed for you.

Thank you for your prayers.

Tell me, Natani...

Where is my dead Mormon son?

He is a preacher.

Toutai, a preacher?

Like you.

Where? Where does he preach?

I do not know.

You would have to
ask the Kolipoki.

The... the Kolipoki?

The palangi president.

His office is down that road.

He can tell you
where he sent your son.

I have to ask the
palangi president

where he buried my boy?

Sione Paletu'a.

The Kolipoki is a good man.

Like you.

We shall see.

Yes, come in.

There's someone
here to see you.

Well, who is it?

He says he's the father
of Elder Paletu'a.

Well, please send him in.

Brother Paletu'a,

John Groberg,
pleased to meet you.

I am not your brother.

Well, um,

please have a seat,
let's talk about it.

Bro... Mr. Paletu'a.

Reverend Paletu'a.

Reverend.

I have many friends
in Tonga who are ministers,

they're some of the
best people that I know.

I am the minister from
the village of Tofua.

You stole my son and
turned him into a Mormon.

You're not a
member of our church.

I-I did not know that.

You didn't approve of
your son's baptism?

I did not
know that either.

Where is he?

Your son?

He is no longer my son.

Your...

Elder Paletu'a is
in Niuatoputapu.

Samoa?

Yes, almost.

Why did you send him
all the way there?

It's a beautiful island.

Your son is working hard.
He is a very good missionary.

A Mormon missionary?

Yes.

Then he is dead to me.

I'm very sorry to hear
that you feel that way.

Is there anything that I can do?

No, no, there is
nothing you can do or say.

Except,

please tell my son...

Yes?

You tell him to never come back.

Hi.

Hi.

What are you reading?

A poem by Matthew Arnold.

Really?

It's about a husband and a wife

who live in a
cottage by the sea,

just like us,

and it's night

and they hear the sound
of the tide going out...

Like that.

And it makes
them think of

the loss of faith
in the world.

Yeah.

Will you read it to me?

"The sea of faith was
once too at the full

"and the round Earth's
shore lay like the folds

"of a bright girdle furled.

"But now I only hear
its long melancholy

withdrawing roar."

"Our love, let us be
true to one another,

"for the world which
seems to lie before us

"like a land of dreams

"hath really neither joy

"nor love, nor light,
nor certitude,

"nor peace, nor help for pain.

"And we are here,
as on a darkling plain

"swept with confused alarms
of struggle and flight,

"where ignorant armies
clash by night."

Ignorant armies?

Hmm.

Sea of faith.

Be true to one another.

Yes.

Sort of hard to do, though,
you're never here.

You're always in Fiji,
or some other far-flung island.

Well, you are right.

But I am here now.

So...

Take a good look.

Jean,

do you know why I know
the Gospel's true

at this very moment?

Tell me, John,
why is the Gospel true?

Because, other than
preaching that Gospel...

I can't think of anything
that could keep me

from spending every
minute of every day

right here with you.

How about a son?

Mm.

What?

Queen Mata'aho had me
over to the palace.

She said she'd been praying,

and she believed that
one of the reasons

God brought us
all the way to Tonga,

was so we could
have a Tongan son.

You think we're having a boy?

I think the queen is gonna
be really mad if we don't.

Well, that
would be fantastic.

Absolutely fantastic.

Many of you
have asked me what to do

when the Mormon missionaries
come to your houses

and ask to teach you.

Some of you wonder
if my mind has changed

now that my son is one of them.

I say to you now,

as I said to you before...

Ignore them.

Do not speak to them,

smile at them,
or let them teach you.

Do not offer to sing
in their choir.

Do not send your
children to their schools.

Let them be dead to you

as my son is dead to me.

There will never be Mormons

in Tofua as long as I live.

Let us pray.

I think it's coming.

Here you go. That's it.

Mommy.

It's all right, Liz,

just go home and go to sleep.

I'll put them to bed.

Okay, thank you.

Nurse!

Nurse!

Sini, what are you doing?

I'm having a baby.

Do you think you could go get...

- I'll go get Dr. Tapa.
- Thank you.

You just hold on
until she gets back.

Okay, I'll see
what I can do.

Almost there.

What in the world
could be taking them so long?

It's a long run to Otuhaka.

She's running all
the way to Otuhaka?

By now I hope
she's running back.

It's okay, honey,
it's gonna be fine.

- Easy for you to say.
- Sorry.

Okay, Sini, you can't stop them,

but you don't have to help them.

Try very hard to relax.

I am trying.

I'm gonna go get the car.

I wouldn't do that, Kolipoki.

They're probably almost here.

Ah.

Sorry, Kolipoki.

It's all right, I'm okay.

Baby is coming.

Where's John? Where's...

Sini must be calm.

I can't... I can't wait.

I can't stop it.

Slow down, Sini. Relax.

The baby is coming.

The baby is coming.

The baby is coming!

- Oh, no! Oh.
- Here it comes!

It's a boy, Sini!

A boy.

It's a boy.

He's here, he's here!

- I wanna see him first.
- Me first!

Who wants to
meet their brother?

I want to see him.

All right, oh,
let Mom get out of the car.

One at a time, girls.

Tonga has a new son.

It's true,
Elders and Sisters,

absolutely true.

I took that dear
Sister Morley by the hand

and I promised her,
"Alice," said I,

"you will be with him again."

Kolipoki.

Daddy, you
have to come home.

What is it, Nancy?

Johnny's sick.

Jean!

Jean, what's happening?

He won't keep breathing.

There he goes, there he goes.

We should take him
to the hospital.

Yeah, okay.

We'll give him
a blessing on the way.

Go, go, go, go, go.

John Enoch Groberg, by virtue
of the holy priesthood

and in the name
of Jesus Christ...

He's not breathing.

Help, Daddy, help him.

Whoa, cow!

Let me drive.

Get out of the way.

Go. Yes.

By the power
of God's priesthood

and in the name of Jesus Christ,

I command you to live

and breath until we can
provide the proper care

to sustain your life, amen.

Amen.

- Amen.
- Amen.

No, no, Nancy,
you stay in the car.

I want to see the miracle.

Stay here and pray for it, dear.

Pray very hard.

Dear God, Johnny's sick,
please make him better.

Please, God, no, no, no.

Come on,
come on, breathe.

- Come on, Johnny.
- Come on, baby.

Breath.

Thank you, Lord.

Thanks be to God.

Your son is very weak.

His heart is barely beating.

He will die soon if we
cannot find the cause

of this weakness.

Well, then we should
do some tests.

We don't have this
kind of test here,

only in the United States.

Well, we should fly him there.

He is dehydrated
and too weak to fly.

He would never make it.

Well, then what?

We will try to get
fluids into him

and we will pray that he gains
the strength to make the trip.

I'm so sorry
I can't stay longer.

God's work waits for no one.

Your
family is God's work.

I know, I know.

I know, it's just,
there's a thousand saints

in Fiji expecting
me next Sunday.

You are not to go to Fiji
unless John Enoch is stable.

That's one more reason
to pray for him, isn't it?

I'll pray for you every minute
of my trip in New Zealand.

God loves you, John.

Thank you, Elder Monson.

And so do I.

Thank you very much.

We interrupt
this broadcast

to announce a special need
for faith and prayers

on behalf of the baby boy

of the Mormon mission
president, Kolipoki.

The baby is very sick

and needs to fly to the United
States for an operation.

Please pray that the baby
will get well enough

to fly away soon.

A fast will be held
through all of Tonga

for baby boy Groberg tomorrow.

Anyone discovered
eating before sundown

will be given an
opportunity to repent

and fast again the next day.

You heard it for yourself?

In the marketplace yesterday.

Just because the queen is
praying for the palangi boy

doesn't mean we have to.

There are many in Tofua who have
sympathy for the little boy.

Everyone in Tofua
belongs to my church.

They should know better.

Everyone in Tofua has been
taught to be Christlike, by you.

You are a good man, Seoni,
but you are stubborn as a pig.

You should be praying
for the American boy

with all your heart.

You should have
forgiven our son.

And you should
never ask a Tongan mother

to choose between her
husband and her son

because you may not like
the choice she makes.

Ah.

That's right, just like that.

Where's your phone?

It's cooler down here.

Elder Monson called.

He said he has a strong feeling
that you and John Enoch

are gonna be on the
next plane to the US.

He said he thinks the Lord
will open the way

to make that happen.

The doctor tried to get an IV in
for over an hour this morning,

but he's just too little.

And dehydrated.

His veins are too small.

Has he eaten at all?

No.

He's too weak.

They were hoping to
feed him intravenously.

How can this happen?

It can't happen.

It is happening.

Why don't you go
be with the girls.

I'll stay here with Johnny.

We have brought you
some dinner, Kolipoki.

Thank you, but I'm fasting.

No, no, we are fasting
so you don't have too.

Please
eat this banana bread,

it'll give you strength to pray.

Thank you.

Kolipoki, we have
come to tell you,

everything is going
to be all right.

You have? Thank you.

How do you know?

We have fasted and prayed

since this afternoon.

We will continue
fasting and praying tomorrow

but God has already
answered our prayer,

and we wanted you to know

that everything is
going to be fine.

It will be fine, Kolipoki.

We know it.

Thank you for your faith.

And thank you for
sharing it with me.

You're welcome, Kolipoki.

Now you go to sleep
and get some rest.

I will try.

After you eat my
banana bread, Kolipoki.

- Yes, after.
- Good.

One more thing, Kolipoki.

Yes.

We would like to sing
a little more.

That would be wonderful.

He's my son.

He's my only son.

Get him!

Hello, Tonga Toutai Paletu'a.

What are you doing?

You have dishonored your father.

My brother.

I'm here to teach you a lesson.

Leave him alone, take me.

I will take whoever I want.

I do not
want to fight.

I am a servant of the Lord now.

Your Lord will have
to fight for you!

My Lord has more
important things to do.

You better
pray to someone else.

I will pray for you.

I will pray that the
Lord forgives you.

Toutai.

I will pray with all my heart,

my dear uncle.

Go, come.

Nuku!

Nuku, we need a doctor.

Can you take him to the
hospital in Nuku'alofa?

Yes, yes, of course.

I'll send a telegram
to Kolipoki.

Kolipoki.

Nice and easy.

What have they done to you?

We have to get him to a doctor.

Watch his head.

Yes, the doctor, of course.

I will pay all.

Would you like
to come with us?

Yes.

Oh, Toutai.

My son, I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

His brain is swollen.

We won't know anything
until the swelling goes down.

And how long will that take?

Could be days, could be months.

The swelling may never go down.

Is there anything we can do?

Have you given him
one of your blessings?

I think it's time you did.

Yes!

Yes!

Please, Kolipoki,

please, please, please,
please, Kolipoki,

do what you need to
to save my son.

Tonga Toutai Paletu'a,

by the authority of
God's holy priesthood

I anoint you with this oil

which has been set apart
for the healing of the sick.

I do it in the name
of Jesus Christ, amen.

Amen.

Tonga Toutai Paletu'a,

in the name of Jesus Christ,

and by the power of
God's holy priesthood

we lay our hands upon your head

to seal the anointing
you have been given.

And we bless you,
Tonga, with the full

and complete recovery
from all of your injuries.

This is our blessing
and our promise to you.

In the name of
Jesus Christ, amen.

Amen.

O yah wey!

Amen.

Tonga, come back to us!

O yah wey!

I'm sorry, I have something
else I need to attend to,

but I will back to check
on your boy very soon.

God bless you all.

Thank you, Kolipoki.

Saibe.

O yah wey!

How is he?

Alive.

How's Elder Paletu'a?

He's pretty beat up.

But he'll be all right?

I don't know, Jean.

I don't know much
of anything anymore.

Yeah, me neither.

The doctor tried to put another
needle in this morning.

It was terrib...
it was just terrible.

He doesn't even cry anymore.

I don't know John, I just...

I'm afraid we're not gonna
ever get him on that plane.

Would you like to say a prayer?

No.

I think I'm all prayed out.

It's all right.

Let me take a turn.

You should go home and rest.

John.

Yeah, honey?

If by the time
I come back, he's gone...

It's not your fault, okay?

Okay?

It's not your fault.

I love you.

Dear God,

dear Heavenly Father.

I do not know why

you have brought this
white man to my island.

I do not believe
what he teaches.

But my son is dying

and his son is dying,

and he has tried to heal my son.

So now I will try to heal his.

Hear me, Father in heaven,

hear me now

and heal this white man's boy.

Because he has done
nothing to hurt his son

like I have hurt mine.

If you heal my boy
and take his away,

I would be so mad at you.

I do not think I could
ever come to heaven.

I will have to go to hell.

And that would be bad for
the people in my church

because they depend on me
to be better than I am.

So please,

heal this man's boy,

and heal mine after.

And if you have a little time...

Please tell me what to do with
this white man sitting here.

I do not know if I should
love him or hate him.

Amen.

Amen.

I'm sorry I borrowed your baby.

I wanted to see if
I could help him.

I think he would
get better faster

if the people from my church
are praying for him too.

I think you're probably right.

I felt something

when I laid my hands
on your baby.

I felt that he will
grow to be a great man.

I felt that about your son also.

Is there a
doctor on board?

I'm a doctor.

I say, chappies,
unhand me this instant,

or I'll report you to Her
Majesty, the Queen of England.

It wasn't enough that you
pull me off my aircraft,

now you drag me around
like a common criminal.

I do say, I must say
there's no kind of excuse

for this kind of comport...

Oh, I see.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm so glad you brought me here.

Right there into the cut.

Pull up the vein.

I was taught this
technique in Australia,

why weren't you there?

I had to stay with the boy.

Right, jolly right.

Now slice it open.

Needle.

Bang on.

He did it.

Let's attach the bag.

Now, if you don't mind,

I have an aircraft full of angry
passengers awaiting my return.

Thank you for your help.

- Yes, thank you.
- Thank you.

Bloody well didn't have
a choice, did I? No.

But you're welcome.

John! John, wake up.

Hello, little man.

Welcome back, welcome back.

I'm so glad you can cry again.

Look, look.

- Look, look.
- Oh.

Look, look.

Seoni.

Seoni.

Your prayers have worked.

The little boy is better.

Seoni, Seoni.

My boy.

My boy.

Home.

Home.

Yes, my son, you have come home.

Okay, girls, it's time
to say good-bye to Mommy.

Don't go, Mommy.

It's gonna be
all right. Okay?

You need to be strong.

- I hate it when Daddy cooks.
- Oh!

Me too.

I won't be gone long.

I never thought
you flying away

would be the answer
to my prayers.

Yeah, it does seem kinda
backwards, doesn't it?

- Yes, it does.
- All aboard.

Okay, well, I guess I better go.

I love you.

I love you too.

Bang, bang, I got you, Liz.

You can't get me,
I just got you.

Bang, bang,
bang, bang, boom.

Elders and Sisters,

thank you for your patience.

Before we adjourn,
we have some new missionaries,

and I'd like to announce
their mission assignments.

Sister Mokena?

You've been
assigned to serve

with Sister Isikiela
in the village of Tokomolu.

Thank you, President.

Elder Hinton,

Elder Manu,

you've been assigned the
island of Ha'ano and Ha'apai.

Elder Fonua.

- Nuku!
- Miracle man.

I'll miss you too.
Go back, go back, go back.

Welcome to your mission, Nuku.

Thank you, Kolipoki.

You have been assigned to
work with Elder Paletu'a...

In the village of Tofua.

The home of Elder
Paletu'as father.

Are you s...

are you sure, Kolipoki?

Yes, I am sure.

Then thank you.

Thank you for sending me there.

Elders Nefai and Sitadini.

And they all
lived happily ever after.

Good night, girls.

Good night, Daddy.

Good night.

Daddy?

Yes, Nancy?

Are you sure that if
you wait long enough

all stories have happy endings?

I'm sure.

Then why hasn't
Mommy come home yet?

I guess we haven't waited
long enough yet, hmm.

Hey, you know what?

Your brother is getting
better and better,

and your grandma and grandpa
are getting ready

to take care of him,

and then Mommy will
come back to us, promise.

Daddy?

Yes, Nancy.

I think you're handling
this all very well.

Me too.

Thank you, girls. Good night.

- Good night.
- Good night, Daddy.

Get under those covers.

Dear Jean,

how I wish you could be
here with me and the girls,

how I wish you could see
our great missionaries.

But whether you
are there, or here...

I sent Elder Paletu'a to
his father's village today.

It was one of those times
the spirit whispered "yes."

Having my own son so far away,

thinking of his
father losing his...

Can you imagine it, Jean?

Can you really imagine it?

God sending His
only son to Earth.

To die.

But he did it.

He did.

He really did.

I wish you could see...

- What I see.
- I see.
