Isaiah 43:1-3, 7, 10-13

But now, this is what the LORD says— he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior... Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth—everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.... “You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me. I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from me there is no savior. I have revealed and saved and proclaimed—I, and not some foreign god among you. You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “that I am God. Yes, and from ancient days I am he. No one can deliver out of my hand. When I act, who can reverse it?”

Up, Up and Away!


We packed for what seemed like days, probably because that’s what happened. Michaela kept wondering why all of her toys kept disappearing, until even her bed and her feeding seat were packed inside a trunk. She helped (or not!) by hanging out in her Johnny Jump-Up, and even sometimes inside the suitcases themselves!

We left Brownwood on Monday morning and made the long drive to Dallas where we caught our flight to Miami. Unfortunately, Michaela started cutting another tooth the night before we left Brownwood. She had an extremely uncomfortable night, and a miserable day on the airplane. She threw up all over me on our first flight! Luckily, this missionary kid was prepared with extra changes of clothes for both of us!

In Miami, we met our coworkers/friends/mentors, Jim and Kathryn Holway, and their daughter Sarah in the airport. It was good visiting with them. And then we boarded our night flight for Cochabamba. Michaela slept in increments of 30 minutes no matter what we tried! Needless to say, we arrived very tired in Cochabamba the next morning. We collected 5 of our 7 bags (at least it was a majority!), and headed to our hotel (via the wrong hotel first)! When we finally arrived, that bed never felt better.
