He mastered the languages quickly allowing him to speak to each colony about God in their own language. He then traveled out of Quebec, but when he came back, he became a math teacher for a few years before changing into a spiritual director as well as a minister and mission adviser. This left him as a very accomplished evangelist, and he got high praises for it after he died in Quebec in 1711.
