Our Journey to Llallagua, Bolivia

We could spend several paragraphs telling you about all that we experienced and learned about the people and culture of Llallagua (pronounced yah-YAHG-wah), Bolivia, but these videos and photos are probably a much better introduction.



Quechua hymn we attempted to sing along with at a church in Llallagua, Bolivia




Here's Victor preaching in Quechua after we sang. He's the one that made all this possible.

Our visit to another small church on a rainy afternoon in Llallagua, Bolivia where the women were spinning yarn.



We also have lots of good pictures of our trip to Llallagua on Amy's Facebook. Just click this link to see them, even if you don't have Facebook.

  1. We meant to get a better picture of the Quechua hymnal in the first video. So far I (Brad) have only been able to decipher "yupaychana", which according to the internet, means:

    "to thank; to honor; to adore; to praise; to respect; to worship"

  2. I wouldn't use that just to casually thank someone, though. I know "thank you" in Quechua is "pachi"
