Burley, Idaho. May 21st 1925.
A blessing given by William L. Waite, Patriarch, upon the head of Vyla J. Frost, daughter of Charles W. and Carrie M. Sanford Dayley, born June 4th 1901, at Basin, Idaho.
Sister Vyla, in the name of Jesus Christ I lay my hands upon thy head and give unto thee a Patriarchal Blessing, and say unto thee thou art of the blood of Israel, a descendent of Ephraim, and entitled to the blessings of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and I as a servant of the Lord do bless you with the blessings of health and of strength, and with a desire to serve the Lord. And I say unto tree dear sister that the Lord is pleased with thy labors and will bless you, and I as a servant of the Lord do bless thee with wisdom and with power to teach thy children the principles of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
I say unto thee if thou wilt be faithful thou shalt be permitted to raise a numerous posterity, and thy Posterity shall grow up to call thee blessed, and I say unto thee if thou wilt be faithful thy children, through thy teachings, will be permitted to do much good in thy day and generation, and thou, in connection with thy companion, will be greatly blessed and be permitted to live upon the earth until thou art satisfied with life.
I say unto thee dear sister inasmuch as you will be prayerful and humble the Lord will strengthen thy body and thou shalt he made strong in the faith, and shall be permitted to do a great work among thy sisters. If thou art faithful thou shalt be called to anoint with holy oil those that have a desire to be anointed by their sisters.
I say unto thee thy name shall be known for good and thou shalt have wisdom to teach the principles of the Gospel of Jesus Christ unto thy sisters, and when thou do administer and bless them it will be a testimony unto them that thou art a daughter of Zion.
I say unto thee dear sister to be prayerful. Seek the Lord and He will bless you, and I say unto you that thou shalt never want for bread. Thou, and thy companion shall be blessed with the blessings of the earth, to make thee comfortable, and many shall rejoice and be fed at thy table; and I say unto thee the Lord is mindful of thee and will bless thee with every righteous desire of your heart.
Thou shalt see thy posterity live upon the earth until the Saviour shall come upon the earth to rule and to reign as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, and thy posterity through thy faithfulness, some of them, shall have the privilege of going into the world and promulgating the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and many through their teachings shall be led to join the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
I say unto thee dear sister be patient with thy children, and teach them the principles of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Teach them the mission of our Saviour, and of the Prophet Joseph Smith, that when they grow up they may have a testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, for many of the chosen spirits will be permitted to come upon the earth through thy loins, and it is a blessing that thou hast dear sister, of being permitted to come upon the earth when the Gospel of Jesus Christ is again upon the earth.
And I say unto thee that if thou wilt be faithful these blessings shall be yours, for there is no power on the earth that can deprive thee of them if thou wilt live a righteous and upright life. Now I say unto thee dear sister that all blessings are promised to you upon our obedience to the principles upon which they are promised, and these blessings are promised to you upon your faithfulness, and upon your humbleness in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but if thou wilt be faithful the Lord will bless thee with every righteous desire of thy heart, for I as a servant of the Lord do bless these with these blessings and seal them upon thy head.
I now dear sister, seal thee up to come forth in the morning of the first resurrection to be crowned a princess and a queen unto thy posterity, and I do it by virtue and power of the Holy Priesthood and in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Patriarch
