Getting Set Apart

Hayden Christopher Hall, By the authority of the Melchizedek Priesthood that we hold

and as your Stake President holding sacred priesthood keys, we unitedly lay our hands

upon your head and set you apart as a full time missionary of the church of Jesus Christ

of Latter Day Saints with assignment to labor in the Florida, Jacksonville Mission.

Elder Hall, as you begin this sacred experience, where you will dedicate approximately

two years of your life on full time basis to serve your brothers and sisters in Florida,

taking on various assignments that will come through your mission leaders and in

consecrating yourself in a very obedient and hard working way.

We bless you to know that the Holy Ghost will go before you and prepare your path so

that you are placed in situations that will be both challenging and rewarding.

We bless you to know that there are individuals who are being prepared right now to

hear this marvelous and joyful Gospel message from you.

We bless you with a strong desire to use your time each day in preparing yourself so you

will know what to say and when to say it as you approach individuals with differing

levels of interest in this gospel message.

We bless you with an ability to resist being discouraged so that you can approach each

day with a positive attitude knowing that some days will be very challenging to you.

We bless you in your interactions with companions- that those will be largely rewarding

and that you will find life long friends through those relationships.

We bless you further with the relationship you will develop with your mission leaders.

That this will be a source of encouragement and will be sustaining to you especially in

moments where your mission is challenging.

We bless you with a desire to be strictly obedient to mission rules and to find safetv and

peace in being strictly obedient. To be an example of obedience to other missionaries

you will work with.

We bless you as you communicate with your parents and your siblings- that you will do

so choosing the better part being generous in sharing those faith promoting experiences

and testimony that you are having, not knowing where those emails or communications

may go as you touch the lives of individuals who will be outside your mission

boundaries.

We send you forth now knowing you're on the Lord's errand and he will watch over you

and has been watching over you, preparing you for this great day.

In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
