My friend. Agnostic!
Ok. I have a friend who is agnostic, and she says that she is happy. But I believe she would be happier. I want to introduce god to her, but I dont know how I can. It feels like part of the reason I came across advicenators for the first time, was to plase god by introducing my friend to him. I have heard it is nearly impossible to change someone, even if you know its a good change. Two of my brothers friends converted my brother. He used to be agnostic, but now he has his christian group of friends, he goes to a christian college, and he wants to work at a church this summer. I dont know how his friends converted him. I want to do the same. what should i do?

In all likelihood, your brother's friends didn't convert him--he changed on his own. What they might have done was expose him to a positive Christian environment, such as Christian youth gatherings.
If you want your friend to have the same opportunity, invite her along to a church-sponsored event. Don't try to get her to come to church quite yet. She'll be suspicious and defensive. If she meets people at a youth church gathering and makes friends, she may become interested on her own and eventually choose to follow God. That is the most you can do for her.
If she resists accompanying you to such a gathering, promise her you two will leave if she is uncomfortable. Make no attempt at any point to persuade her that religion will make her happier. Any attempt to convert her will be met with resentment and rejection. She has to find her own path.
