“It was a big part of it. They were getting up, they were tired, they were working . . . carrying couches, and furnaces, and tables, and belongings, and boxes. They were working very hard. At the end of the day, they were covered in mud from head to toe, just exhausted. Therefore, they got a good night’s sleep. I’ll tell you, sleep is a wonderful thing for all of it, homesickness or an illness. So, the hard labor, good sleep, as well as the focus outside of themselves . . . it really helped the emotional and physical state of the missionaries.”
