I've been guilty of this misconception myself at times...

"One of my many weaknesses is that I don’t, at least in my heart, believe that missionaries have weaknesses. I see them as super-heroes. How wonderful they must be to leave the comforts of home and family to go and serve. My mind knows better, but the heart has its reasons. Missionaries, I know objectively, are not super-spiritual people who do not sin. They are instead super-spiritual people whose consciousness of their own sin fuels gospel gratitude which in turn leads to sacrificial love for others."

Busted. Knowing the reality of our adversary the devil's retaliation against anyone who threatens his kingdom, it's still almost a foreign concept that missionaries can have spiritual battles, that they aren't super-Christians.
