Brother *****, with the authority of the Melchizedek Priesthood and the calling of a Patriarch, I lay my hands upon your head to give you a blessing that you have asked for, *****, to give you inspiration and guidance at this time in your life when you are thinking so seriously about what you should be doing and your desire to be a servant of our Father in Heaven. You are indeed blessed, *****, in so many ways, to be in this family you are in, and to be here in this day to take advantage of the opportunities that are yours. You have led a pleasing and concerned life thus far, and your prayerful attitude and your sweet, humble spirit will bring much in the way of guidance and inspiration from our Father in Heaven. If you keep this spirit and plan your life so you can enjoy this and let nothing mar this, you will be directed and guided and you will have many opportunities and occasions to be thankful for and you will enjoy the sweet things of life, the comforts and blessings and joy and happiness that you seek. The gospel will mean much to you as you commit your self to its principles and keep his commandments.

The day will come when you will have a companion who will be a choice one, and meant to spend her life with you. Live so you are prepared for this day, and when you meet her you will know she is the one you should have, that you will be able to appreciate and sustain her in her callings, whatever they may be, and she will give you the blessings and the guidance you need.

You will have great callings, *****, in this church, callings that require that you understand the basic principles of the gospel and that you be committed and fully dedicated to that which you do. You will be looked upon by those you are associated with as a serious and spiritual man, so live righteously and be the great example that you should be. The Lord will bless you with understanding and knowledge and ability to interpret and feel the spirit that is in others who are associated with you. The resolution of problems that you will be faced with will come to you as you are called to leadership capacities.

*****, develop a foundation that is secure and fundamental. Read the scriptures. There is much in them that you will enjoy and there is much the Lord desires you to learn, and pattern your life after that of the Savior. You can be not greatly different from our first prophet in this last dispensation. Knowledge and understanding and the serious attitude you have will bring forth inspiration that will astound you. Even so, you will be in communication with our Father in Heaven as he will reveal to you things that only you will understand and others would not. You will sit in councils of the church and be able to concern yourself with the lives and affairs of others who are associated with you. Your testimony will determine the future of many. Those who have erred and who have gone astray will be led back by the strength of your firm hand and your advice and counsel. This is a great responsibility, *****, to know that the lives of many are in your hands. So, live righteously and live with understanding and let prayer be prominent and important in your life. Plan those things that you do. Plan them carefully; submit them to our Father in Heaven until you feel that warm feeling in your own heart. If you do not feel this, have courage to change, because the lives of some will depend on that which you do and that includes those souls who are destined to live their early lives with you. Their future and their destiny will depend upon you, your guidance and that of your companion.

You are of the House of Israel, *****, of the Tribe of Ephraim. As you are called to go on a mission, you will know and truly understand this. Search the scriptures so you know what blessings are in store for those of this tribe. You are entitled to those which have been promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. You will be able to share your knowledge and your understanding with others of other tribes, who will have leadership capacities at a later time. You will have ease of communication and be able to speak their tongue and be able to understand them and they understand you.

*****, there are other things that will be made known to you by various means. You will be protected and you will be guided, until you live a life that is long enough to perform that which is important and necessary and which our Father in Heaven would desire. Also you will have great temptations. You will have feelings of spirits that are not desirable, that will try to deter you, and you must have the power of the priesthood to give you the strength you need, and also a strong companion, and you will need to be near our Father in Heaven in prayer.

Study the lives of those in this latter day who have been leaders in the church because you will have opportunity to live and perform as they have, and you should follow their example.

*****, if you live righteously and are committed to those things that are good and wholesome for the benefit of the lives of others and also your own life, you will never need to fear for your own outcome, nor the bounties of life and success in the business field around you, but be sure you devote the time that is necessary to maintain the spiritual strength you need and for the benefit of those that depend upon you. If you do so the Lord will bless you with a call to come forth in the morning of the first resurrection and receive rewards for the good things you have done. Now, be obedient, *****, to these desires of our Father in Heaven. This is important to you. Be obedient and be humble and always available. These things I pronounce upon your head in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
