Dear Gramps, My RM sons, who have never been inactive in their lives, have made a conscience choice to go inactive just after returning from their missions. Both won’t listen to me anymore and both think they can just play for a while and have no effect on their...

Dear Gramps, I am married to a non member. In my patriarchal blessing (which was given after I was married) it says my marriage will be sealed by the new and everlasting covenant. I have two questions. Is a patriarchal blessing strictly for events in our earthly...

Hi Gramps, I was wondering if you could expand a little on spiritual gifts. Before I was LDS, I didn’t have much religion but I knew there was something else out there. I have always been able to know before hand if someone close to me is going to die, or if someone...

Hi Gramps, I have been really curious about our lineage when receiving a patriarchal blessing. I have heard of parents both descending from one line but their children descending from totally different lines. How is this possible? And where can I find out about each...

Gramps, How come after the 200 stripling warriors’ fathers learned about the gospel they were forgiven for the murders they committed but now if someone has murdered and then learned about the gospel, they still can’t be forgiven?(Don’t worry I haven’t killed anyone,...
