					<description><![CDATA[[...] Chrisy Ross, don&#8217;t you give up on those Mormon neighbors of yours. I hope that you have come to feel that you have a place in the Relief Society, no strings attached. (If not, shoot me an email and I&#8217;ll invite you to come to our activities!) Please forgive us if we Mormons are a little overbearing on the conversion side of things. We love our faith so much that sometimes we get a little overanxious to share it. I can&#8217;t fully apologize for that, because sharing is part of who we are, but I am sad when such a desire turns into exclusivity or radiates a sort of insularity.  So I hope you can be patient with our shortcomings and continue to be clear about what you hope to get out of participation with the Relief Society. And again, I thank you for your honesty. I think your post is a good reminder that we need to do better to help people feel welcome in our meetings and activities. [...]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I liked this post because I love how I feel when I&#039;m at church. I feel as comfortable inside the church building as I do in my own home. 

Just like the picture above, my building is made out of those bricks you see behind the sign. Many of the  churches near me were built by the members. When I walk down the halls inside my church I like to let my fingers brush along the bricks and I think about my friends and family that have built or attend this house of worship. And it makes me happy.

But when away from home, I feel just as good visiting another Church building as I do my own. Sometimes, on vacations to Puerto Vallarta Mexico we&#039;ll go to church there. The members always greet us with big smiles. My husband especially loves these meetings because he speaks spanish. I do not. Even though I do not understand what is being taught with my ears and mind, my heart still feels the same welcoming spirit. 

Visitors Welcome indeed.]]></description>
