Saints of Tonga by Riley Moore Moffat,Fred E. Woods,Brent Reed Anderson Pdf
This book highlights the faith of the Tongan Saints from contact with our first missionaries in 1891 until the centennial commemoration held in Tonga in 1991, with an epilogue that will highlight events until the present. At that centennial commemoration, rain fell upon the Tonga Saints, and so did revelation from the mouth of Apostle Russell M. Nelson. After thanking the congregation for their "great example as Latter-day Saints," he pronounced a blessing upon the local Church members, "that from this island kingdom, faith may radiate through the entire world and affect the lives of people all over the world."

First published in 1974, Church and State in Tonga is a classic study of the formative period of modern Tongan history. The years covered are from the re-establishment of the Wesleyan Methodist mission in the 1820s until the promulgation of the Tongan constitution in 1875. The missionaries assumed the role of political advisors, but by the 1850s the missionary monopoly was undermined and what author Sione Latukefu calls a "marriage of convenience" and an "alliance" began. The king became selective in the advice he accepted and took his own initiatives. Much of the book deals with the development of kingship and the emergence of written codes of law and the constitution. The book is dedicated to Queen Salote Tupou III who passed the traditions of the royal family to Latukefu, determined to impart her wealth of knowledge of the Tongan traditional past. Church and State in Tonga was the first substantial study by a Tongan of the history of the Tongan monarchy and government, a rich documentary study reinforced by knowledge of local language, customs, and traditions.

The Miracle of Tonga by Elaine Bonavita Jaquith Pdf
Elaine Bonavita had planned to be a lawyer when she finished her term on the Waterloo Iowa School Board. Finishing first year law school living in Texas, she answers a call to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which came unexpectedly while sitting in sacrament meeting listening to a returned missionary's talk in church. While in the process of preparing for a mission call, her faith is tested when doctors give her less than two years to live. It is while struggling with the reality she will never be able to serve a full-time mission for the Church, she begins to question God's plan for her especially when she keeps hearing the voice of Tonga whenever fasting and praying. A woman of great faith, Elaine knows she can no longer ignore the overwhelming call to serve a member mission without a name tag identifying her as a full-time missionary for the Church in the Kingdom of Tonga. Despite her own family and friends questioning her plan to go to Tonga alone, Elaine heeds the call to serve, believing God has a special work for her to do that couldn't be done if sponsored by the Church. No longer sure of anything, anymore, after not going on to be a lawyer or even a missionary with the Church, Elaine struggles to remain faithful during this fiery test of her faith. Feeling alone and abandoned by God, she forgets about the angels in our midst who have always protected and guided her through perilous times. Crying mightily unto God, pleading to know what to do, it didn't take long for her to get an answer. Angels are everywhere, especially in Tonga. She didn't have to go to Tonga to find them. Unknown to her, Tongan angels right here in Texas had already been assigned to prepare her for a different kind of mission. It was an angel's mission to the other side of Heaven, we call Tonga.
In 1894 a Muslim mystic named Muḥammad al-Kattānī abandoned his life of asceticism to preach Islamic revival and jihad against the French. Ten years later, he mobilized a Moroccan resistance against French colonization. This book narrates the story of al-Kattānī and his virtual disappearance from accounts of modern Moroccan history.
This first-person account tells the fascinating story of the three years Elder Groberg spent on the islands in the South Pacific amidst a kindly people who had a deep faith in God, a faith that provides the backdrop for Elder Groberg's accounts of miraculous healings, protective warnings, and perilous voyages; for such stories as: The emergancy night voyage on a turbulent sea, and the anxious search for the only guiding light into the destination harbor. The boy whose apparently lifeless body was handed to the missionaries with the words, "Here, make him well again you have the power." The storm that overturned the boat, throwing missionaries into the raging sea. The hurricane that hit the little island. The hunger when the usual supply boat failed to show up. And much, much more. This remarkable book paints a vivid picture of missionary life in a society geared to "a different way of thinking."
