Summary

In this episode, we finally get to a persistent listener’s email. We didn’t come close to answering his question, but by reading a portion of his email we felt we met him halfway. Gerrit and Richard answer a listener’s question about the awkward phrasing of ”the Ohio” in the Doctrine and Covenants. They then focus on a question from a listener about the sometimes overwhelming thought that some of us have found the Restored Gospel while so many billions have not.
