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?”

Dia de Cochabamba



The girls had a typical Bolivian fair/market at their school today in honor of Dia de Cochabamba. They all dressed up in traditional Bolivian dress, like cholitas, and when we arrived, they were busy selling their wares. Eliana was selling potatos, Jana helped to sell bread, and Michaela was in charge of selling jello. It sure was fun and yummy food too: buñuelos, api, sopa de maní, salteñas, sandwiches de chorizo, pasteles, fresh fruit. This is the fun part of being missionaries and raising missionary kids!
