However, I have NOT experienced what it's like to travel with a 4 month old daughter and a 2 year old son across to another continent. I've not experienced what it's like to live in a wood home with a tin roof. I do not know what it is like to life in a wood home with a tin roof with NO bathroom facilities (except for 2 buckets), no stove, no fridge, no microwave, no sink, no washing machine. . . .
But listen to this testimony, written by Paul Schlener about a veteran missionary couple that was an encouragement to him and his family in those early days:
"[They] simply accepted the fact that they couldn't change the weather,
and were determined to enjoy life in spite of the discomfort.
They had a higher calling than going to Brazil for a life of ease.
In time, we reached that same conclusion."

Indeed! It's amazing how, when the focus is NOT on the things I don't like about life, I realize how much I DO like about it (and how abundantly I am blessed!).
I thought of you three tonight as I was browsing Orbitz for flights to great, exotic locales... Fortaleza was one of the places I typed in... ;-)
