Dear Grandson Jackson,
I don’t know if you see email or not (a lot in your age group don’t).
But I wanted you to know that your ol’ grandpa has been thinking about you and that I appreciated so much your thoughtful questions about Church history and doctrines. I can tell that you’ve been studying a lot and that it’s raised some serious questions in your mind and maybe even in your heart.
I thought I would share with you a suggestion to please give “equal time” to what some call the “primary questions” while seeking answers to the many “secondary questions.”
This BYU devotional talk by a general authority can explain and describe what are primary and secondary questions:
It’s OK to ask questions…lots of them…but I encourage you to spend as much or more time focusing on the primary questions before you get caught up in the secondary questions, which are not always relevant to what’s really important in our lives.
After you listen to or read this talk, I’d love to visit with you again to get your feelings on what you feel are the most important primary questions for you personally and how important the secondary questions are to you.
You are a great and mighty grandson, destined for amazing things in life. I just feel it when I visit with you. You make me so proud of you and doubly honored to be your grandfather. I saw it again in you when you gave that beautiful blessing to Clark during his ordination to the Aaronic Priesthood.
Hope we can visit again soon.
Love,
Grandpa Lewis
