Sister Elizabeth, by virtue of the holy priesthood I place my hands upon thy head to pronounce and seal a blessing upon thee, that thy heart may be comforted, therefore be of good faith and of good cheer, for the Lord hath heard thy petitions, is pleased with thine integrity, and will reward thee through which thou has past. Thou hast forsaken thine kindred and friends for the sake of salvation. Continue faithful and thou shalt verily receive thy reward and as a mother in Israel thy name shall be handed down in honorable remembrance and written in the Lamb's Book of Life. Thou art of Ephraim. Thine inheritance is among the saints. Thy days and years shall be according to thy faith. Seek wisdom, that the blessing of the Lord may attend thee. It is thy privilege to council among thy sex, and to call them to faithfulness, that peace may be in thy circle. Listen to the whisperings of the still small voice of the comforter, for thy guardian angel will whisper in thine ear, give thee strength in time of trial, and power over evil and unclean spirits, and thou shalt not lack for the comforts of life, but shall give unto the needy, and comfort the hearts of the bowed down. This blessing I seal upon thy head in the name of Jesus Christ to come forth in the morning of the first resurrection a savior among thy kindred and friends. 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. |
