Elise's primary talk


If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

One day my Mom, brothers, and I  were at Target shopping for clothes in the girls section. There was a big picture  close to the ceiling where everybody in the store could see it. The picture was of an immodest girl who looked about 13 and she was only wearing a bra and underwear.  I thought about my little brothers standing by it, so I took my brothers over to a rack full of clothes away from the picture, and we played hide-and-go-seek in it. Later, I thought about what I had seen in the picture. One night I was talking to my Mom about it, and she said I should write a letter to Target. I was a bit nervous at first, and I had to go through five pieces of paper to get it right and perfect. Then I brought it to activity days and had all of the girls sign it. Then we sent it off to Target.

Every time you see something bad you should tell a parent,  If you see your friend being immodest, you can tell your friend that you think they should wear something that covers them more.

I know some times it is really hard and sometimes you feel too scared to tell your parents about it. Just be bold and tell them about it, or ask your friend to stop.

My mom always turns off the radio when there is bad music, and we always cover the screen and mute the computer whenever there is a bad commercial when we are watching a show. I know that if you are good and do good things that are pleasing to Heavenly Father then you will be happy.
