the most recent movie night for "fun Friday"
Nathanael texts all of the Deaf people in the area each Friday/Sunday and asks if they will be coming. ( He has to plan his pick up route). Each time he would text, there would be an excuse about why she would not be there.

When she came, we really were not sure what prompted her to arrive.
If you only knew how full this van was.. and how HOT it was in the back!!
During sharing time, we heard the story. Apparently there was a rift between two women in the church. One had decided not to attend. Both had gone to Carmelita (a local town) to the Deaf outreach that happens every 6 weeks. The women had a chance to reconcile. I am so thankful for what God did in this situation.

We have also seen this in the lives of two of the teens. They refused to both be at church at the same time. We saw the conflict but were unsure of how to be involved. Nathanael took time to pray for them and the situation.
