Youth Fireside

I almost didn't go but I am so glad I took Jazmine. That was probably one of the most powerful, spiritual firesides I have been to in a really long time. Bishop Dunn Talked about the media, movies, music, myspace, facebook, etc. Sis. Anderson talked about modesty, very candid about checking your reflection for young women bend over in the mirror and what do you see, sit down and check to see that your dress comes down, make sure your sweater covers as you move around etc. and about boys and wearing a t-shirt, unless they are in a body of water, not sagging etc. THEN pres. Soleburg got up and said that the topic he was going to talk about wouldn't have been a topic in his day or in his children's day, he talked about same gender attraction. It was so powerful, he used som many analogies. He talked about eternal truth being different than temporary truth. It rains all the time in Seattle is a temporary truth, conditional, becasue tomorrow it might not rain. Bro. (can't remember the name) has a short let leg, but that is a temprorary truth, that is not who he is. When teen develop strong sisterhoods and a strong bond and can talkabout anything, that is normal but the world will tell you that you are developing lesbian tendancies, that is not true, etc. Why do some people have these feeling, we do not know but we do know that Heavenly Father loves us and expects everyone to keep his commandments. A single person is to obey the law of chastity, abstanance until marriage and then complete fidelity after marriage. If someone nevers marries they still must keep that commandment regardless of who hey are attracted too, he said so much more. And then President Larson spoke on the war that we are in, if youth do not have their feet cemented into the ground Satan will be able to bend them, like bending a tree to grow bent. He used Book of Mormon battles to describe the battles youth face today, he talked about the name calling bigots, intollerable and how false that is, don't lower your standards, don't let Satin bend you. His talk was very powerful too. I am so glad I took Jazmine. I wish every kid in the world could have heard the truth and the words that were spoken, the spirit was very strong.
