Swine Flu Hits Home

There are now close to 2,400 cases of the swine flu in Peru, & 8 people have died. The government has ordered all schools to begin a forced, early winter vacation here, & in advance of the "Fiestas Patrias" national holidays at the end of the month, the government also is cancelling many public events & patriotic parades.

There are now also rumors that the government may cancel other public events and gatherings, including even church services. Some churches already have begun to cancel services.

And this week the swine flu hit home for us, too, as we learned that 3 relatives of my wife, Dorcas, have been quarantined with the swine flu. Dorcas' aunt, uncle, & cousin all now have the swine flu. Please pray that they all are healed very soon, along with everyone else who is suffering from this debilitating worldwide virus.
