*****, having been duly ordained as Patriarch and through the authority of this office, I confer upon you a Patriarchal Blessing. I give you counsel according to the promptings of your Heavenly Father. As His daughter, you have a great and sacred responsibility placed upon you to reverence Him and show Him respect. Look to Him for guidance and counsel. Learn, through prayer, to communicate with Him and talk to Him as a daughter would to a father, and be receptive to the impressions He gives you. He will inspire your mind from time to time as you move on your journey of life. This world is designed to fulfill the purposes of God. Have faith that His purposes will be fulfilled according to His will and ways. Have faith in Him above all others and trust in His judgment. As obstacles come before you and you are challenged, be patient and consistent in exercising your will according to proper principles and guiding counsel. Your Heavenly Father has provided ample means for you to understand the purpose of your life on earth and to have His truths. Prophets, parents, friends, and the spirit of Christ and the Holy Ghost are available to you, to help direct you on a proper course and to uplift you as needed. Live worthy and be desirous of receiving and utilizing all of these helps. Your Heavenly Father has provided these for you, knowing that you cannot endure the obstacles of life alone. Angels from on High will come as needed and will walk by you to help you. With all of this assistance, you need not fear life nor be frightened because of the coming of the prophesied events of the Last Days. You live at a time when the prophecies of Old will be fulfilled. Preparation is underway for the return of the Master. Follow his teachings. Love Him and embrace His Atonement and utilize it to overcome mistakes and do not question God's ways. Be humble and receptive to His instructions.

Take note as you observe the spread of the temples throughout the world and be aware that these are Houses of the Lord where His presence may be found. His spirit is always there and by going there you may draw from this strength and receive inspiration and guidance from Him. Go there and receive the sacred ordinances and blessings. Life is full of challenges and choices. One of the most important of these is that you choose a man who will be by your side as an eternal companion and who holds, honors, and respects the Holy Priesthood. Choose none other and seek guidance from your Heavenly Father in making this choice. You will need the blessings and power of the Priesthood in your life. Do not hesitate to draw from this power as you feel the need. The Priesthood and its power has been restored to the earth through the Prophet Joseph and functions under the direction of God. Without this, mankind would fall into the hands of the evil one. Resist Satan and use the God-given power that resides in you to fight him. Stand up for truth and righteousness. Be careful with whom you associate. Do not side with those who live contrary to the ways of the Lord.

You are of the seed of Abraham by divine appointment. You descend from Ephraim and are one of your Heavenly Father's elect and chosen Israelite daughters. Teach and preach the ways of God and seek to bring others unto Him. If you are faithful in your endeavors, you will have great help and access to the powers of Heaven and will be strengthened thereby in the tasks that come to you, and nothing will be given you that you cannot handle. Through your faithfulness, you will receive inspiration and sacred guidance from the Holy Ghost. He will be your constant companion if you allow Him to be such. Love your Heavenly Father and your fellow beings. Speak kind words and guard your tongue and be respectful to others. Be patient and long-suffering and serve with an attitude to bless others and to not elevate yourself above them. Seek to bring others close to your Heavenly Father, that they may feel His spirit and be guided thereby. As an instrument in the hands of the Lord, you will enjoy great blessings. As times move forward, you will see Zion built up and the righteous of the earth gathered. In Zion, the people will be blessed and they will prosper and, even though the earth rocks and great disturbances and evil exist, God's power will rest upon His faithful and they will enjoy life and live in peace.

I bless you to come forth in the Morning of the First Resurrection, if you are faithful. You have the strength and ability within you to become an exalted woman, to live in the Celestial World. Let it be your focus to live worthy of receiving this great blessing.

I bless you with the power to resist evil. Dear sister, if you are faithful in obeying the teachings of your Heavenly Father, you have the assurance that none shall have the ability to lead you astray. Go forward in your life with courage.

I have given you sacred counsel from your loving Father in Heaven. Respect Him and live according to His counsel, and glorious blessings will rest upon your head. All of these blessings and promises are yours, through your faithfulness, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
