Sister Caroline I lay my hands upon thy head in the name of Jesus of Nazareth and seal and confirm on thee a father's blessing. Thou art a daughter of Abraham and of the blood of Ephraim, and thou hast a right to the blessing and benefits of the priesthood in common with thy companion, and all the blessings which were sealed upon the daughters of Joseph I seal upon thee. Thou shalt be a mother in Israel, and be endowed with power from on high in company with thy companion, and thou shalt raise up a posterity to keep thy name in remembrance, even a mighty people, and they shall be held in high estimation among the saints and thou shall have power to heal the sick and to drive the destroyer from thy dwelling, and thou shalt be blessed in thy house with health, peace, and plenty, shall dwell in thy borders, and no good thing shall be withheld from thee, and if thou art diligent in keeping the commandments of the Lord and are one with your companion without discord, thou shalt be saviors on Mt Zion, to save all that you desire to both of the dead and living, bring them up in the morning of the resurrection, and be exalted to reign over them in due time in the house of Israel forever. Now sister be patient under all thy trials. Never be hasty to give thy opinion upon matters that you understand not, and follow the counsel of the servants of the Lord, and these words shall not fail. Amen.
