In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I lay my hands upon thy head as thou hast no father to bless thee with a father's blessing. Thou art of the tribe of Benjamin and inasmuch as thou shalt live humble before the Lord thou shalt receive Benjamin's portion. Thou art entitled to the priesthood with all the blessings and privileges thereunto belonging.

Thou hast left thy native land to dwell among the saints which is well pleasing in the sight of the Lord. The spirit whispereth that thou hast a mission to fill in thy native land. Therefore dear brother gird on the gospel armor and make up thy mind to cross the mighty deep. Thou shalt have power to rebuke the winds and waves on thy passage if they rise to oppose thee. Thou shalt have power to confound all who rise in opposition to thy ministry. Thou shalt proclaim the gospel throughout the city of Edinburgh as with the voice of a trumpet. Many of the haughty and proud of that city shall humble themselves through thy words. Great men shall be brought down and many shall acknowledge the truth. Thou shalt go through the length and breadth of Scotland and shall perform a mighty Mission among thy Brethren. Through thy means many of them shall rejoice in the Kingdom of god.

Thou shalt have power to redeem all thy friends both dead and living. Thou shalt be blessed in thy family and thy children shall be useful in pushing forward the cause of Zion. Thou art not especially called to preach to the different nations of the Earth. When thou hast finished thy mission thou shalt return to Zion in peace and there have an inheritance in peace with thy family and great shall be thy joy.

Thou shalt be a counselor in the Church forever. I seal all these blessings upon thy head if thou wilt be sober and temperate in all things and faithful and I seal thee up unto eternal life In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Brother Anders, in the name of Jesus Christ I place my hands upon thy head and I ask God the Eternal Father to indite the blessing which is for you, for thou art of the blood of Joseph and entitled to many blessings. Therefore, prepare thy mind and be firm in the spirit that thy blessings may be meted out unto you according to your deserts, for there are many blessings in store for the faithful of the children of God. Therefore I say unto thee, conduct thyself through thy remaining years that you may be worthy of every blessing which is pronounced upon the faithful, for according to thy lineage and birthright thou art entitled to the blessings of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to stand upon Mount Zion and be numbered among the hundred and forty-four thousand. Therefore, be faithful and thou shalt not lose one jot or tittle of thy birthright, for the Lord knoweth the integrity of your heart and will hear thy prayers and will answer thee according to thy work. Therefore I say unto thee, seek understanding with wisdom, for thou shalt be called to administer in the priesthood, and to bear glad tidings to the nations of the earth. Therefore, be faithful to thy trust and honor thy calling and give praise unto thy father who is in heaven, and be careful to shun the paths of the evil doer lest thou shalt fall by the way, for there are many trials and temptations laid to ensnare the Elders of Israel. If thou art faithful thou shalt overcome every difficulty and do a work upon the earth which shall be handed down from generation to generation in honor and thy name be written in the Lamb's book of life, and thou shalt be the savior of thy father's house. This blessing I seal upon thy head and I seal thee up unto Eternal life that you may come up in the morning of the first resurrection bringing with you many of thy father's house. Even so, Amen.
