Quecha If You Can

Hi everyone!

I had sent a list of words & phrases to the missionaries in Bolivia to have them translated into Quecha so we could pre-print some pharmacy labels. I just received the translations back and thought I would share them with you to give you an idea of what their language is like. It's kind of wild!
