Car accident, part 2

At the recent elder's conference at church, Barbara Hughes spoke about trusting the Lord through trials because God is always working in them for our good and His glory. Many of these things we won't get to see, here on earth, but sometimes God does give us a little glimpse of what He is doing; and when He does it is thrilling...
The day we got in the accident, the son of the lady who hit us, texted his friend to tell him about his mom's accident. Later in the day, he texted his friend again to let him know that his mom was in the ER and the family who was in the other car was in his mom's room praying with her (?!). The friend, Ben, who goes to our church, went to the service the next day and learned that we had been in an accident. He puts two and two together and calls his friend and tells him that he knows the family that was in the accident with his mom. This young man says that he wants to meet us, so Ben invites him to church the following week. Well, he did come to church and met us and offered again an apology on behalf of his mom. We told him that we had forgiven her already. He says he can't understand how we could do that, so Roland is able to sit down with him and share the gospel with him! Roland asked him to invite his parents to church next week and said that he would.
