The speaker then called up the two girls who had switched sides and told us that she had shown them each a ten dollar bill and told them that if they helped on Satan's side that she would give it to them.  However instead of giving them the ten dollar bills she had shown them, she gave them a printed piece of paper that was a bill for ten dollars, indicating that each girl now owed our speaker ten dollars.  She said that Satan uses this trick all the time.
 
She then told us that we can never trust that Satan will be true to his word.  He will always deceive us to get us to do what he wants and that not only will we not get what we thought we wanted, we will also be forced to pay a price for placing our trust in him.  She then put two boxes of candy on the ground on Satan's side of the line and said that the first two girls to get there could have them.  We had a few girls rush down, but then one of them backed off and asked if there were going to be consequences.  She said yes, and picked up the boxes and showed us the backs.  On one was a card that said, "More fun." and on the other was a card that said, "Popularity". 

She said these are the things that Satan promises with immodesty.  Then she told the girls to pass them around.  In one was beans and in the other was rice.  There were also cards inside the boxes that said, "Pain" and "Disappointment".  Then she got about 5 packages of candy out, and said that if we keep the commandments and keep our standards up, if we ask for one package of candy then Heavenly Father will give us them all.  All that he has to give will be ours. 

She spoke about setting examples and inspiring our friends through our actions.  Then she spoke about believing in our Savior, and our Heavenly Father, and believing the things the prophet tells us.  She spoke about the things the prophets has asked us to do regarding modesty and attire and personal appearance.  She spoke about proper standards concerning swimsuits, pants, skirts, and tops.  She also talked a
little about sitting modestly in skirts and dresses. I don't want this to sound the wrong way, but when choosing our guest speaker we chose one of the most beautiful women in town who is always immaculately groomed and dressed.  We wanted someone that the girls looked
up to and could see as looking like someone they would like to look like.

After our speaker we played a video where one of the women in our presidency had gone and interviewed a bunch of the boys in the high school.  She went into a seminary class and asked them what they thought of girls dressing immodestly and how it made them feel.  The most common answer was that it made them feel uncomfortable and that they didn't like being around girls dressed immodestly.  The girls, for the most part, were a little surprised by their answers.

Then we had our refreshments and gave everyone a cute but modest shirt that said, "Modest is the hottest"  Our guest speaker had also made necklaces for everyone, each one with a different word she had focused on, trust, believe, or inspire.  The girls loved it and shared a lot of stories with us about different things they had heard around school and ways they had been treated by guys at school.  Some who respected them for their standards and some who were not so nice about it.  It was neat to have them open up a little more than usual and let us know more what their high school experience is really like and the challenges they face, which are much, much tougher than what was going
on in my high school about 12 or 13 years ago.
