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?”

Funny Language Blooopers Made by our Team

1. Someone was talking about their sandalias (sandals) that were too big, and said sandias (watermelons) instead.
2. Someone asked for viruela (measles) instead of a ciruela (plum).
3. Someone was looking for a little clay owl for a birthday gift, and when trying to locate it in the market, asked if anyone had a bird with big hijos (sons) rather than ojos (eyes).
4. When talking about a payment made every mes (month), someone kept saying mesa (table) instead.
5. We were working with direct objects in class and someone was trying to say “I taste it [the fruit]” (Lo pruebo), but instead managed to say “Me pruebo” (I taste myself.)
**I’m sure more bloopers will be forthcoming.

These are really funny, guys! Only truly appreciated by anyone who has ever experienced the total humility of learning a foreign language. Here's one of Rusty's most famous. Once, during our first year in Japan, he was trying to use the word for "opposite" (hantai), but said "hentai" (pervert) by mistake. He made this mistake in front of a classroom full of junior high school students, and the funniest part was the way the students tried to explain and demonstrate what a "hentai" was.
