Off to Peru

Well, only a few more hours. Would you mind stopping right now and interceding for Hannah Landrum, one of our three Spanish speakers on the team? She has come down with the same fever/cough/cold that about half of us have had over the past week, and right now she is too sick to travel. The Lord can heal her if He chooses to - or He has another plan. Please pray for her.

NOTE: The Lord HAS healed Hannah and she is doing much better and is coming with us! Praise Him!
