Peter Salmond

Peter is planning to go back to Rwanda for 2 weeks in February and is trusting the Lord for an improvement of health between now and then.
He is having some heart trouble currently. Last week he had an episode of passing out while driving a quad (at a low speed). He’s thankful he passed out when he did, however, his heart rate was so low that’s what caused the blackout. His doctor is trying to figure out what is going on with his heart and why his blood pressure/heart beat is so low.
