Brother Ernest, in the name of Jesus of Nazareth I place my hands upon thy head to pronounce and seal a blessing upon thee and I say unto thee be of good faith and seek to obtain wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Also, inform thy mind in regard to the principles of life and salvation, for thou art numbered among the sons of Zion of whom much is expected. Therefore, prepare thyself for the events of the future, for the time is not far distant when thou shalt be called to labor in the ministry, and without doubt thou shall travel much for the Gospel sake and go again to thy native land and gather out from bondage many of the honest in heart who are now in Babylon, and if thou art faithful thou shalt have great joy therein, and thou shalt find friends among strangers, and thine enemies shall not hedge thee round about, but thou shall accomplish a good work and fulfill thy mission upon the Earth. Thou art of the blood of Joseph and shall receive thy Blessings in the Tribe of Ephriam. Thou art also entitled to the blessings of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and of the new and everlasting covenant in as much as thou will be humble and listen to the still small voice of the comforter. Therefore I say unto thee put thy trust in the Lord and the Angel of thy presence shall watch over thee and guard thy footsteps, and thou shall become a mighty man in Israel, and thy name shall be perpetuated and handed down in honorable remembrance and written in the Lamb's Book of Life. These Blessings I seal upon thy head and I seal thou up unto eternal life to come forth in the morning of the first Resurrection forever. 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.
