Matt and Mandy

Wendy: You Mormons aren’t really Christians.
Mandy: Let me help you with that.

Wendy: You believe in Joseph Smith, not Jesus.
Mandy: Joseph Smith taught us to believe in Jesus. He spent his whole life following Jesus. He died serving Him.

Wendy: I still say you’re not a Christian, and if you say you are, we can’t be friends.
Mandy: Wendy, I know that Jesus Christ is my Savior. He suffered for my sins. He died on the cross for me. He was resurrected so that I can live again. I love Him with all my heart. If you don’t think I’m a Christian, that’s OK. I still want to be your friend.

Wendy: Thanks for helping me with the playhouse.
Mandy: You’re welcome.

Wendy: Let’s keep being friends.
Mandy: Let’s do.
