Dear Gramps, OK, I lied to my mom really badly. I went to a high school dance. I told her that I wasn’t going and told her that my dad wasn’t home so I could cover up spending the night with my friends. She figured out and I don’t know how to apologize or how to make...

Hi Gramps! Me again. I was just wondering if there was anything clearly stated in Mormon Church policy regarding dress codes for priesthood ordinances? My husband is quite resistant to wearing anything but a white shirt to church, stating that in case he were asked to...
