Gramps, My daughter will not be 16 until 5 days after prom this year. I don’t have a problem with her going. Is it such a big deal (a few days like that?) to go to prom when 5 days away from 16? Suzanne from Tennessee

Dear Suzanne,

Your bishop undoubtedly knows you and your daughter. He is acquainted with the local circumstances and he is entitled to inspiration and revelation from the Lord to give council and advice to the members of his Ward. I think that you could do nothing better than to discuss this matter with him and demonstrate your faith and acceptance of priesthood authority by supporting whatever decision that he would make in the matter.
