Dear Gramps, Is there anywhere I can read about the restoration of the Melchizedek Priesthood? It is my understanding that it occurred 5-30-1829. When Joseph and Oliver were released or escaped from prison, and some mob was chasing after them they were exhausted, and...

Dear Gramps, I have a query from a friend who has recently lost her son, aged 33 from cancer. He was an active member of the Church but had not reached the stage of being ordained a High Priest. She would like to know, will he be made a High Priest in the Spirit...

Question Gramps, Is it wrong for a woman to cast out Satan if her Priesthood holder husband is present but not understanding the need at the time? What words should be used when casting out the angels of darkness? And how can one know it is needed or...

Dear Gramps, When a baby is blessed, is it appropriate to ask the Lord for blessings for the baby or is it appropriate to address the baby and pronounce blessing on the baby? I have heard it done both ways and wonder if one way is correct or if both ways, though...

Dear Gramps, I haven’t had the courage to talk to anyone else about this. Since I can’t see you and you seem to be in tune, it will be much easier. A woman may only be sealed to one man, and a man may be sealed to many women. This concept leaves me feeling...

Dear Gramps, . I have always been curious how women can expect to be remarried (after being widowed) if they can not be sealed to more than one man. Personally, I would want to spend eternity with my husband, and so do not want to be sealed to more than one man, but...
