Brother George Bentley Teeples, as thou hast desired it I place my hands upon thy head to pronounce and seal a blessing upon thee, that thy heart may be comforted. For years past thy mind has been troubled. Thou has prayed unto the Lord for strength and grace sufficient for thy day, and I say unto thee be comforted, for the Lord hath heard thy petitions. He knoweth the secrets of thy heart and will reward thee as thou shalt merit. Over many things thou hast been faithful for which thou shalt also receive thy reward. Therefore I say unto thee, from this time forward, be obedient to the laws of god, and seek wisdom and thou shalt desire a change, therefore let thy faith fail not. Thou hast suffered privations and witnessed trying events for the Gospel's sake. Therefore I say unto thee be at rest in thy mind. Seek to know the will of the Lord and strive to do thy duty and it shall be well with thee, for thy memory shall be strengthened as you reflect upon the past. Thy mind shall be enlightened as you look forward to the future. Therefore as thy duty is made known unto thee by the spirit seek to perform the same for thou art numbered among the fathers in Israel, therefore prepare thy self to go down to thy grave like a shock of corn fully ripe for the garner of our Lord. Counsel in righteousness among thy posterity that they may receive benefit from the experience which thou hast had in the past. Thou art of the blood of Joseph and thy name shall be written in the chronicles of thy fathers with thy brethren. Thou shalt also realize that the hand of the Lord has been over thee for good. Therefore give praise unto him. This blessing I seal up on thy head with the forgiveness of thy sins in the name of Jesus Christ and I seal thee up unto eternal life to come forth in the morning of the first resurrection as a king among thy kindred. Even so 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.
