Here is what happened to them on their travels. They had many hard times. They suffered a lot in body and mind. They were hungry, thirsty, and tired. They also worked very hard in the Spirit.

But their journey had been brutal. They’d suffered terribly—physically and emotionally. Hunger, thirst, exhaustion, and deep spiritual labor.
