Modesty

"Modesty is often talked of in terms of dress and apperance, but modesty encompasses much more than the outward appearance. It is a condition of the heart. It is an outward manifestation of an inner knowledge adn commitment. It is an expressiong that we understand our identity as daughters of God. It is an expression that we know what He expects us to do. It is a declaration of out covenant keeping. A question in the For the Strength of Youth bookelt really is the question each of us must consider: 'Am I living the way the Lord wants me to live?' When we truly know that we are daughters of God and have an understanding of our diving nature, it will be reflected in our countenance, our appearance, and our actions." ~ Elaine Dalton

"You are truly royal spirit daughters of Almighty God. You are princesses, destined to become queens. Your own wondrous story has already begun. your 'once upon a time' is now." ~Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Today in young womens,

We had such an amazing lesson.

The young mens President came and taught us a lesson.

He focused on Virtue.

He showed us a lot of videos and I almost cried--due to recent events.

He did an object lesson dealing with a cake.

It was a very beautiful cake and we all wanted to eat it.

To the young men, the cake is Us as Young Women.

He then proceeded to ask if anyone wanted a piece of cake.

One girls raised her hand and went to the front of the classroom.

Bro. Yeates continued to put a plastic glove on.

He dug his hand into the cake and smooshed it on a plate.

We were all surprised that he would treat such a pretty cake like that.

Then he cut a nice piece of cake out, making sure it looked perfect,

and set it on another plate.

"The young men only see the outward appearance," he explained,

"when you show the young men the inside of you,

which way would you like to present yourself?

The smooshed cake that is lacking virtue and control,

or the neatly laid out cake, showing the gospel in all that you do?"

All of us of course wanted to show ourselves neatly.

He talked about being respectful and the ture meaning of modesty.

Not only is it your dress and appearnce,

but your behaivor. They way you speak,

what you say,

What you do,

Everything.

He also brought up PDA.

Would you consider PDA an unmodest thing to do?

Yes, It is actually very unmodest.

He also showed us these pictures to go along with PDA:

NOT cute.



Cute.

Yes. Public Display of affection is NOT cute.

It was such a good lesson.

In the last five minutes,

the Young men joined us.

Then our Bishop spoke to us about what the young men learned.

They had learned how to treat a young women like a Queen.

By the Young Women President.

Such a good Fifth Sunday:)::):):)

I hope we can all be Modest.
Oh yes, and to make a personal Covenant of Virtue and Modesty with the Lord,
Brother Yeates gave each Young Women a floating Lantern.
And we are gonna let them go tonight at 6pm.
:)

Love you!!
