[Magdalen] PRS / Holy Week 2015

Sat Apr 4 02:45:04 UTC 2015

Thank you. Prayed just now this Good Friday evening. Update: Peter
Shor came home from the hospital today, and has a long recovery road
ahead of him--peritonitis after a burst appendix. However, he is
making good progress, and is very grateful for prayers.
