Sister Anna I lay my hands upon thy head in the name of Jesus Christ and by the authority vested in me to bless the fatherless. I place a father's blessing upon thee. Thou art of the same lineage of thy companion and an heir to the same Priesthood power and privilege that is sealed upon him. Thou shalt also have power to heal the sick in thy house by the prayer of faith, shall have skill in herbs, and shall be esteemed as being an excellent nurse among the sick and the destroyer shall not trouble thine house. Thy children shall grow up and be about thee and be healthy and become a mighty people -none shall excel them among the saints, and thy name shall be handed down through all generations as a worthy mother in Israel. The number of thy years shall be according to thy faith and in as much as thy faith is one with thy companion and does not fail thou shalt live and reign on the earth with him a thousand years and enjoy all the blessings of the Redeemer's kingdom forever and ever. Amen.
