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?”

More Ways You Know You’re in Cochabamba

1. You pass an average of 20 stray dogs on your 20 minute walk to school.
2. You go in for a pedicure, and they use a cheese grater to remove dead skin from your feet.
3. Almost every local plate has some form of egg included on it.
4. You find a house that interests you in the paper and go to the real estate agency 5 times – but still haven’t seen the house.
5. You get hit by a water balloon on your walk to the gym as a part of the Carnaval celebration.
**By the way, I really am LOVING Cochabamba. These are just funny cross cultural differences that I've noticed.
