Our stake Relief Society president, Sister Esplin taught our lesson about modesty. She spoiled us with a very cute setup on the table with cute vintage suitcases and a nice monitor to view a special interview on modesty with Sister Beck. She provided me with this wonderful outline of what we talked about:
Sister Esplin also shared a very relevant and edifying interview with Sister Julie B. Beck Go here to listen.
The challenge that sister Esplin, our stake Relief Society president gave was for us to think about how modesty reflects who we are as covenate people and to examine the clothing in our closets to determine whether we have some immodest clothes that we should part with. President Niger's areas of concern for our stake was 1) visible cleavage 2) leggings with short skirts or no skirt (just a shirt) and 3) tight clothes. She encouraged us to write her a letter (may be anonymous) with our thoughts and experiences with this task. She gave us some addressed envelopes with stamps (some can be obtained from Heather).
This lesson helped us see that modesty is much more than just dressing in a way that doesn't show a lot of skin or merely making sure our garments aren't showing with our outfits. Modesty is a way of heart and a way to live. Let's try to understand this doctrine at a deeper level and to live it with greater commitment! *Please take Sister Esplin's challenge to apply the doctrine President Niger was inspired to address at this time . You will be greatly blessed if you do so. |
