a) Thank you, the wording looks good to me. I will provide updates as seems appropriate. If I haven't felt the need to make one, I'll provide one in 7 weeks.

b) If I'm going to be asking for prayers from others, it feels only fair to return the favour! Is it considered good form to say who I'm praying for, or is it best to keep it between me and the gods? Or is this something which varies from case to case?
