MODESTY

Today my stake had a Relief Society fireside. They talked about how our stake is super immodest.
Our Stake relief society president gave us a visual of what we were showing off to our priesthood leaders. It was really awkward because I didn't want to look at her as she, did the visual but I also knew she was trying to get our attention.
It was kind of sad, as she did this demonstration here family who came, cried, as they watched there mother and wife show the girls the way they looked and dressed. Our stake president and bishop had said it is awkward for them to do interviews when a lady is dressed inappropriately and immodestly. They Also could hardly look at sister Stansfield as she did her demonstration.
I don't think girls understand how big of a compact they have on men, yes the men need to not act on the thoughts they had , but we woman need to dress and act modestly this also means we need to say appropriate words too. We are suppose to help the men honor their priesthood. This means to be modest.
These guide lines are not to chain us down and make us feel like we have no freedom, but they are rules and laws to which we should live by because we want to because we love the lord and want to show him we love him and will obey him. It is also preparing us for our next step, to get married or go on a mission, or do both. How are we going to teach our children the right way to live if we don't live that way ourselves?
