It always does that's the nature of every wilderness experience. Everything was out of our comfort zone: the heat, the language, the food, the outhouse-everything! We lived as the people lived, ate what they ate, and lived among them. Our life in the jungle was filled with many self-emptying opportunities to surrender our lives of convenience. W hat would these days hold for us and our three small children as we lived in this forgotten jungle village? What challenges were waiting for us, and what dangers lurked in the days to come?
