Sister Rachel, in the name of the Lord, Jesus Christ, I lay my hands upon your head and seal upon thee a father's blessing. Thou art of the same blood of thy companion, even of the blood of Ephraim, and a lawful heir to all the blessings, privileges and powers of the new and Everlasting Covenant, and I say unto thee, Sister, inasmuch as thou wilt be faithful and obey the servants of the Lord that are placed over you no good thing shall be withheld from you. The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon thee by night and by day. Thou shalt have dreams and visions that shall be a testimony unto thee that thy Heavenly Father is pleased with thee. Thou shalt be blessed with many children that shall be useful in their day and generation in assisting to build up the kingdom of God on the Earth. Thou shalt raise up sons that shall receive the holy priesthood and become judges in Israel. You shall live upon the earth until you are satisfied with life. You shall meet the Lord in peace when the Lord shall descend from the heavens with all his hold angels to meet the Saints on the earth. You shall reign on the Earth and inherit with your companion dominions, principalities, and powers and I seal you up to eternal lives worlds without end. Amen.
