N2  - "There may come a time when you ponder life's most searching question 'Why am I here?' In Rev. Thomas Buddle's case it was a calling from God. The defining moment came in a letter from the Wesleyan Mission Home [Office] in London dated July 11, 1839. It was an invitation to sail on the missionary ship Triton to the most distant land in the world ... New Zealand. In 1840 Thomas and his wife Sarah had already established their first home and Mission Station at Te Kopua near the Waipa River."--Book jacket
