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?”

Surprise!

A couple of weeks ago, we got a phone call from Josh's folks. Josh's dad said, "Do you think you could find us a hotel in Santa Cruz? We're coming to Bolivia today!" What a great surprise! They were planning on making a trip in March, but bumped it up due to some unplanned extra vacation days from James' school. They spent the first week in Sucre with Jenny and Erik and the team there, and then the whole family came down for a few days to Coch. to stay with us. We had a great time together for 5 days (family time on the mission field is always a treasured experience), and ended up wishing that Nana could've stayed a few more days like she'd planned. The girls loved having time with their grandparents, Uncle James, Tio Erik and Tia Jenny, and cousins. We had a beautiful day out at the golf course, went shopping together, and celebrated Jana's first birthday. Happy Birthday Jana!
