Things I remember from my mom's setting apart by her dear Bishop as a missionary and wanted to keep it safely here for her to remember. It was so special! - Linda (sadly 2 of our kiddos were sick and we had another commitment for a family gathering we couldn't miss so that is why I was the only one who could come today.)
These are rough quotes:
...you have been inspired by the Lord and have acted upon his promptings, and this is why you are here right now. I bless you to feel confidence in that knowing with certainty that this is the correct decision for your life at this time.
Know that there will be relationships also with youth. These young missionaries...
I bless you know that your family will be not only blessed, but they will be good... I bless you not to worry that to worry is only a temptation of the adversary and causes no good, but that you may find peace knowing that they are in the Lord's hands, and I bless you to be able to hand them over the Lord for this time that you are gone that you can know that they are his first in yours second, they are His children first and yours second, and as you do you will find far greater fulfillment.
I bless you remember that this is the calling of God and not of men. Do you know that he loves you?
He has many, many children, but He sees you, and I bless you to know that He genuinely sees you. Be willing to learn and magnify your calling while you can and see this salvation of the Lord in your life and your family's life...
