About Sister Losaline Fakatou: God has done great things for me in my 25 years as a Missionary Sister. God has been good to me and led me to places I would never have experienced. Sometimes I was eager to follow, other times reticent. But God always led me to places where I could find life, love and God Himself. I am grateful for the sisters I have lived and worked with. I am grateful for the opportunities to serve others. I thank God for my vocation and the grace of perseverance, also for the opportunity to serve Him in the Life of the Church. What I have found to be most important — whether we are brave or timid: to always be truly present where God would have us, and to trust in Him. Living as a member of a missionary community with sisters who have similar values, who pray together, and who share everything in common has been a tremendous support and one of the greatest joys of my life.
