FHE is tonight. I wish I could think of someone who isn't LDS that I could bring with me to this movie. Missionary work is my favorite and I am skilled at it too. I definitely need to expand my circle of friends to include people who aren't LDS. It is a weird medium to maintain. I need to include nonmembers in my social life rather than the other way around.

I just thought of someone I can invite. Nick Makihele. It is in his neighborhood so that would be a good thing. How do I invite my gay hairdresser who I met on my mission and then later served his own mission? It is who I thought about so that means I should do it. Even if he is touched by the spirit I'm pretty sure he's gay and may be living with his boyfriend. I will certainly invite him too whatever his name is BUUUT what if they are touched by the spirit and want to be a part of it, what then? He is an RM himself and well-acquainted with all the activities we have to reach out to our non-member friends and relatives. What the hell do I tell him? My nephew Noke is gay and I've never talked to him about it but our relationship is not one conducive to that. Maybe this is my learning experience and maybe that's why I'm supposed to invite Nick.

Maybe I was a chicken. I called Nick on his cell phone and invited him to see Meet the Mormons tonight. I hope I didn't offend him. I could probably reach him on his work phone but I don't want to make him feel uncomfortable or talk about something social on his work phone or with his receptionist or whatever. I called him fully intending to talk to the actual person. I'll call him again around 7pm or 6:30ish to see if he wants to go.

In-person invitations are better because you can look at them directly and then they can make their decision. It is usually difficult to refuse someone when they are smiling in your face. I don't know what to say to him about the church or anything given his life choices now but I did want to invite him since he's the only person who came to mind. I am just doing this with faith and I'm letting everything and or anything else happen as it may.
