XML Formatting Issue With Elements

[=?Utf-8?B?VGVycmFuY2U=?=]

I have the following issue I was hoping someone can help me with. I have an
XML doc in the following format:
<main>
<friend value="friend1">
<email>fr*****@mailserver.com</email>
</friend>
<friend value="friend2">
<email>fr*****@mailserver.com</email>
</friend>
</main>

My problem is when using the XMLElement class I have trouble adding the 2
elements to the document in the format <friend
attribute><email>InnerText</email></friend. My code is:

try
{

mydoc = new XmlDocument();
mydoc.Load(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() +
"\\friends.xml");

XmlNode mynode = mydoc.DocumentElement;

XmlElement elem = mydoc.CreateElement("friend");

elem.SetAttribute("value", "friend3");
XmlElement elem2 = mydoc.CreateElement("email");
elem2.InnerText = "fr*****@ossiusa.com";

mynode.AppendChild(elem);
mynode.AppendChild(elem2);
mydoc.Save(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() +
"\\friends.xml");

This is causing the child element "email" to append after the closing of
"friend" rather than being a child of the "friend" element. How can I get
email to be the child of friend. Thanks.

is what you want.
Then

mynode.AppendChild(elem);

mydoc.Save(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() +
"\\friends.xml");
