"There were letters in it interesting me, they were from a catechist stationed in Nui, one of the atolls of the group. He was explaining how harsh the people were toward him and his family. They completely ignored him and at one time they destroyed all his plantation of taro, bananas and pawpaw. Reading these letters, I said to myself, "I wouldn't like to be in a place like this!" On the 14th of July 1986, I was appointed Superior of the Mission of Tuvalu!"
