Who am I? I am a member of the Church. I auditioned for American Idol, but ALMOST did not make the Live shows. As I was leaving the final round of "Live Show" auditions, one of the producers/directors of American Idol called me back and offered me a spot in the Live show. Didn't get as far as I would have liked to, being a finalist was good enough. After returning home from my time on American Idol, I then went and Served my Mission.

As we know, we come from a Royal Family. Many many years ago, our Great Great Great Grandfather (dad correct me) - Papa Numangatini, along with ALL the leaders around the world, were given the opportunity to meet the King of England. On the Royal 'Coat of Arms' there is a 'Lion'. When meeting the King of England - the King of England announced that he will be dedicating the 'Head of the Lion' to the King of Tonga & dedicating the 'Body of the Lion' to Papa Numangatini. Why did the King of England dedicate this to them specifically and no one else?
Out of all the Leaders of the world, they were the only 2 who did this.
When both the King of Tonga & Papa Numangatini were announced to procced to meeting the King of England - they walked towards the King, bowed, and as they returned to their spot... they walked backwards, still facing the King of England, whereas, all other leaders, turned, and walked back. The King of England saw this as a Mark of Respect and honoured them with the dedication of the 'Lion'; |
