Otuzco

Otuzco has a new House Chapel.
It is beautiful inside.
President Turk called a new Branch Presidency today.
President Guzmon has been the President for over 10 years.
He has been a fantastic leader to these members here.
They love him. But it was time for a change.
And now President Moya on the left, 
is the new President with his new presidency.

The narrow streets and the colors in Otuzco
remind me of a mini Cajamarca.
Remember...  Cajamarca was split off of our mission to the Chiclayo Mission.


It wouldn't be Peru without a few donkeys crossing the road.
You'd think you would see a lot more llamas here 
but NO... they are rarely seen.
But at times you can walk out of church and be in the 
middle of a heard of cows.
Now this is exciting to me.
I want to spank them on the rear and get them running 
like the bulls in Pamplona Spain.
This gives you a little window into my personality.


These roads are tricky to drive on.
They are one lane roads.
Not many cars here now... mostly moto taxis.


Otuzco is a very fun place to visit...
there are many faithful saints.
The Church is growing like crazy here.
Our missionaries love this area.



It takes about an hour and a half to drive to Otuzco...
from the mission home.
A couple of hours by bus.
