Naʻe faingofua ʻa ʻeku filí: ko e ngāue taʻu ʻe nima ʻi he Kau Tau Muli Falaniseé pe ko e fehangahangai mo e nofo ʻi ha pilīsone Moloko. Tuku ke u fakamatala ki he founga ʻo ʻeku hoko ki he tuʻunga faingataʻa ko ení.

NAʻE fāʻeleʻi au ʻi Oppenau, Siamane, ʻi he 1911, ʻi he taʻu pē ʻe tolu ki muʻa pea mapuna hake ʻa e Tau I ʻa Māmaní. Ko ʻeku ongo mātuʻá ko Joseph mo Frida Bruder, naʻe toko 17 ʻa hona ngaahi fohá mo e ʻofefiné. Ko ʻena tama au hono 13.

Naʻe maʻu ʻe he Tangataʻeikí ʻa e mofi taifotí lolotonga ʻene ngāue ʻi he malaʻe tau Lūsiá.

 Founga ʻo ʻEku Maʻu ʻa e Moʻoní

Naʻe faingataʻa ke maʻu ha ngāue ʻi Siamane ʻi he vahaʻa taimi ʻo e taú. Kae kehe, hili ʻeku nofo mei he akó ʻi he 1928, naʻe lava ai ʻou maʻu ha ngāue ko ha tokotaha tauhi ngoue ʻi Basel, Suisalani.

ʻI he hangē ko e Tangataʻeikí, ko ha tokotaha Katolika faitōnunga au. Ko ʻeku taumuʻá ke ngāue ko ha mōnike Capuchin ʻi ʻInitia. ʻI he taimi naʻe fanongo ai ʻa hoku tokoua ko Richard, ʻa ia naʻe hoko ko e taha ʻo e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová he taimi ko iá fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi palani ko ení, naʻá ne fai ai ha fononga makehe ki Suisalani ʻo feinga ke fakalotoʻi au ke tuku. Naʻá ne fakatokanga mai kiate au fekauʻaki mo e fakatuʻutāmaki ʻo e falala ki he tangatá, tautefito ki he kau faifekaú, pea fakalototoʻaʻi au ke lau ʻa e Tohitapú pea falala ki ai pē taha. Neongo ʻa e ongoʻi veiveiuá, naʻá ku ʻomai ha Fuakava Foʻou ʻo kamata ke lau. Naʻe kamata māmālie ai ke mahino kiate au ko e lahi ʻo ʻeku ngaahi tuí naʻe ʻikai ke fehoanaki ia mo e ngaahi akonaki ʻa e Tohitapú.

ʻI he Sāpate ʻe taha ʻi he 1933, lolotonga ʻeku ʻi he ʻapi ʻo Richard ʻi Siamané, naʻá ne fakafeʻiloaki ai au ki ha ongo meʻa mali ʻa ia ko e ongo Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihova. ʻI heʻena ʻilo naʻá ku lau ʻa e Tohitapú, naʻá na ʻomai kiate au ha tatau ʻo ha kiʻi tohi naʻe fakakaveinga ko e The Crisis. * Naʻe toki tuku ʻeku lau ʻa e kiʻi tohí ʻi heʻene meimei tuʻuapoó.

Ko e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihova ʻi Basel naʻa nau ʻomai kiate au ha ongo voliume ʻo e Studies in the Scriptures* fakataha mo e ngaahi makasini mo e ʻū tohi kehe. ʻI he maongo kiate au ʻa e meʻa naʻá ku laú, naʻá ku fetuʻutaki ai ki he pātele ʻi he feituʻú ʻo kole ange ke tāmateʻi hoku hingoá mei he tohi lēsisita ʻa e siasí.

Ko e fanga tokoua ʻi Basel naʻa nau palani ha fononga fakamalanga ʻo fakalaka atu ʻi he kauʻāfonuá ki Falanisē ʻi he fakaʻosinga ʻo e uike ko iá.

Hili ʻa e fetalanoaʻaki mo ha tokotaha mātuʻa ʻe taha, naʻá ne vaheʻi mai ai ha feituʻu ngāue ʻi Suisalani.

Naʻe hoko ia ʻi he 1934.

Naʻá ma mali ʻi Siulai 31, 1939.

Naʻá ma folau mei Le Havre, Falanisē, ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻo ʻAokosi 1939, ko e fakataumuʻa ki Santos, Pelēsila. Naʻe fonu kotoa ʻa e ngaahi loki tautau toko uá, ko ia ai naʻe pau ke ma folau ʻi he loki kehekehe. Lolotonga ʻa e folaú, naʻe aʻu mai ai ʻa e ongoongo kuo tala tau ʻa Pilitānia Lahi mo Falanisē ki Siamane. Naʻe tali ki ai ha kulupu ʻo e kau pāsese Siamane ʻe toko 30 ʻaki ʻenau hivaʻi ʻa e fasi fakafonua ʻa Siamané. Naʻe fakahohaʻasi ʻe he meʻá ni ʻa e kapitení ʻo ne liliu ai ʻa hono halangá ʻo toho ia ʻi Safi, Moloko. Ko e kau pāsese naʻa nau maʻu ʻa e pepa folau Siamané naʻe tuku mai ai ʻa e miniti ʻe nima ke nau hifo ki ʻuta. Naʻá ma kau ai.

Naʻe tauhi ai kimautolu ʻi ha ʻaho ʻe taha ʻi he ʻapi polisí pea fakafonu ai ʻi ha motuʻi pasi fengataliaki ʻo ʻave ki ha pilīsone ʻi Marrakech, ko e kilomita nai ʻe 140 hono mamaʻó.

Naʻe tufa tuʻo ua mai ʻa e meʻakaí he ʻaho ʻi ha ngeʻesi kapa ʻumeʻumea.

Naʻe fakamatalaʻi mai ʻe ha ʻōfisa fakakautau ʻe tukuange au kapau te u loto ke ngāue ʻi ha taimi ko e taʻu ʻe nima ʻi he Kau Tau Muli Falaniseé.

Kae kehe, ki muʻa aí, naʻe fāʻeleʻi ai ʻa homa foha ko Jonathan ʻi he 1941, ko Ruth ʻi he 1943 mo Esther ʻi he 1945.
