9 year old missionary

Tonight my 9 year old daughter Jurnee went to the baptism of her friend Cherokee. This is the 2nd friend of Jurnee's who has gotten baptized after Jurnee started to invite her to Activity Days and Church. Her other friend Alanis also started going to Activity Days by Jurnee's invite, and then continued coming to church with another family in our ward. Alanis is still going to church and her sister is starting to go as well. What a good example Jurnee has been to her friends, and most especially me. She wasn't ever worried about her friends rejecting her because she invited them to church activities. She just invited them because she had fun, so why shouldn't she share that with her friends? I have a lot to learn from my little girl!

Way to go Jurnee! We have some friends we have known for 3 years getting baptized this weekend. Our church isn't an exclusive club! Everyone is invited to come and check it out!
