šŸŽø Discover the untold story of resilience and faith as six Tongan Mormon boys navigate the trials of being marooned on a remote island for 15 months. Far from descending into chaos, these young men exemplified leadership and cooperation, crafting a life out of the island's sparse offerings. They built a community based on shared responsibilities, dividing tasks such as gardening, cooking, and maintaining a continuous fire. Their ability to adapt and innovate, like creating musical instruments to lift their spirits, showcases the power of positive thinking and collaboration. This narrative not only refutes the bleak outlook of 'Lord of the Flies' but also celebrates the triumph of human spirit and the profound impact of faith and friendship in times of crisis. šŸŽ¶ā±ļøā±ļøVIDEO CHAPTERSā±ļøā±ļø:00:00:00 - Real-Life Lord of the Flies: Tongan Kids' Survival00:02:05 - Shipwrecked for 15 Months: True Story of Survival00:03:56 - Tongan Boys' Island Adventure: A Tale of Resilience00:05:54 - Survival Skills: How Tongan Teens Thrived on an Island00:07:49 - The Rescue: How Shipwrecked Boys Were Found00:09:47 - From Shipwreck to Salvation: The Boys' Return Home00:11:43 - Unexpected Heroes: The Fisherman Who Saved Them00:13:37 - Imprisoned Upon Return: The Boys' Legal Battle00:15:30 - Ata Island: The Uninhabited Rock of Survival00:17:22 - A Miracle of Survival: The Boys' Incredible Journey00:19:12 - Historical Context: Ata Island's Dark Past00:21:15 - Legacy of Survival: Impact on Tongan CommunityTo Subscribe to Cardon Ellis' Adventure Channel, please visit: http://www.youtube.com/@CardonEllisAdventuresTo subscribe to "The Women of Ward Radio" Youtube Channel, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbu-wpRztV-8TYXClhUZhhwTo Order Jonah's Book, "The Key to the Keystone" visit the following link and use coupon Code: WARDRADIO https://tinyurl.com/Key-to-the-KeystoneFor 10% off Plain and Precious Publishing Books, visit plainandpreciouspublishing.com and use Coupon Code: WARDRADIOFor a 5% discount on Go and Do Travel, visit goanddotravel.com and use the promo code WARDRADIO5For a copy of Brad Witbeck's Novel, "Dragon Thief" Book, visit: https://a.co/d/7QzqsZN⚔For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradioJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.com#christian #mormon #exmormon #latter-daysaints #latterdaysaints #latterdays #bible #bookofmormon #archaeology #BYU #midnightmormons #jesus #jesuschrist #scriptures #sundayschool #biblestudy #christiancomedy #cardonellis #kwakuel #bradwitbeckTo support the channel:Venmo @WardRadio or visit: https://account.venmo.com/u/MidnightMormonsPaypal: paypal.me/@midnightmedia Amazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareCashApp: $WardRadioFollow us at:Instagram: @cardonellis @kwakuel @braderico @boho.birdyFacebook: @WardRadioWorldwideTwitter: WardRadioShowTikTok: WardRadioWorldwide
