      "Brother Vasilisk.Eftifeyevich Snegirev, it is in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and by the power and by the authority of the holy Melchizedek Priesthood of God which I bear, I humbly and prayerfully lay my hands upon your head, William to give unto you a patriarchal blessing that will be a beacon for you to follow throughout your life. This blessing will be a comfort and a guide to you to know what your Heavenly Father has
      in mind and in store for you. Rich blessings are in store for you if you are true and faithful to the covenants that you have made with Heavenly Father when you entered into the waters of baptism.
      William, you are a choice son of God and your Heavenly Father loves you. You are of the House of Israel and you come through the lineage of Ephraim who was the son of Joseph who was sold into Egypt by his brethren. If you are true and faithful to the covenants that you made when you entered into the waters of baptism and as you accepted God's holy priesthood, you will be entitled to all of the beautiful blessings that were given to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
      William, you had the privilege of sitting in that great council in heaven when the plan of free agency was explained and you shouted for joy when you knew that you would have the privilege of coming to this earth and having the love, kindness, and the affection of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to give you guidance and direction. You were one of the noble and great ones and you have a great mission in this life. Your Heavenly Father, in his wisdom, saw fit to hold your spirit in the pre-existence until such time as the gospel of Jesus Christ could be restored with all of its rights, privileges, powers, and blessings. With the leadership qualities that you had in the pre-existence, you have now been sent forth to help build the kingdom of God here upon this earth. You will be called and you will be chosen to serve in leadership positions in the Church and you will have the privilege of preparing well for these leadership roles.
      William, I admonish you to search the scriptures because therein are the words of eternal life. You will find new insight and meaning as you ponder the meaning of the scriptures. You will find great joy and happiness as you read 'and ponder the truths therein.
      You will have the privilege of receiving a call from God's chosen prophet to teach and preach this grand and glorious gospel to those that are searching for the truth. You will be a most effective missionary. Many will call you blessed because of the powerful testi­mony that you bear that Jesus Christ is the Savior and the Redeemer of the world and that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God and that we are being led, guided, and directed by a prophet today. William, I bless you that you will feel the promptings of the Spirit of the Holy Ghost to guide and direct you in the path of truth and righteousness.
      Your Heavenly Father has blessed you with a great gift of knowing that Jesus Christ is the Savior and the Redeemer of the world. You will be a most effective missionary when you are called. You will be able to share this grand and glorious gospel throughout your entire life with your friends, your family, and those that you associate with.
      You will have a strong desire to go to the schools of higher learning. You have been blessed with a keen and alert mind and you will be able to readily understand the courses of study that you wish to pursue for your chosen vocation. You will have the privilege of dating and courting a young lady who loves you with all of her heart and you and she, together, will be desirous of going into God's holy temple and there be sealed by the power and authority of the holy priesthood for time and for all eternity. You will be blessed with a family and they will bring joy and happiness to you. You will be a good father and treat your wife as a queen and a princess. The two of you will be able to raise, rear, and care for your children and teach them the principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ and how to walk uprightly before their Heavenly Father. You will know and believe that there is no other success in this life that could ever compensate for failure in the home. William, your Heavenly Father will guide, direct, and bless you as a husband, father, and patriarch. Your sons will desire to serve missions and your daughters and sons will desire to be sealed to their companion in the temple.
      I admonish you to keep the commandments of God. I promise you that if you will keep the Word of Wisdom and refrain from tobacco, liquor, tea, or coffee, or any harmful substance that would hurt or mar this healthy body that your Heavenly Father has blessed you with, you will be able to run and not be weary, walk and not faint, and the destroying angel will pass by you. I promise you that if you pay your tithes and your offerings, the windows of
      heaven will be opened unto you and you will be able to have blessings poured out upon you that you'll not be able to contain, not only with health, strength, love, and kindness in your home, but also financially. Now, there is honor and there is great glory awaiting you as you serve the Lord in the only true and living Church on the face of the earth today, even The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
      William, I bless you that you will have enthusiasm to go forth and labor in the vineyard. I bless you with knowledge and a positive attitude so that people will relate well with you. You will be called upon to speak arId many will come to you and tell you that you have been most effective in changing their life for the better. You will have the privilege of working with the young men in the Church and be a great blessing in their lives in encouraging them to serve missions and to honor their parents.
      After you have completed your life's mission, you will have the privilege of returning peaceably back into the presence of your Heavenly Father and your loved ones. I promise you, William, that if you will become anxiously engaged in doing genealogy work, you will have the joy and happiness of having many of your deceased ancestors names come to you in a way that will astound you and you will become a savior on Mt. Zion in doing for your loved ones a work that they cannot do for themselves.
      Your Heavenly Father is pleased with your strong desire, William, to seek first the kingdom of God and its righteousness. If you are true and faithful in keeping the commandments, you will be blessed with the gift of healing and you will have the privilege of laying your hands upon those that are sick of mind or body and, through the power of the priest­ hood that you hold and through their faith, be able to heal them of their afflictions. I admonish you to always give honor, praise, credit, and glory to your Heavenly Father for the holy priesthood of God that he bestows upon you.
      If you continue true and faithful, you will be entitled to come forth in the morning of the first resurrection pure, clean, and holy. You have been blessed with a wonderful family to show love, kindness, and concern for you and I admonish you to be obedient to their counsel and advice. After you have completed your life's mission, you will be able to join your friends, family, and loved ones and be exalted and be able to have exaltation and eternal life which is the greatest of all the gifts that God can bestow upon His choice sons.
      Now, William, I admonish you to go forward and thrust in your sickle with all of your might and reap while the day lasts because the coming of our Lord and Savior is soon at hand. One of your great missions and purposes in coming to the earth at this particular time is to help prepare for the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ whose coming is soon at hand.
      These blessings, these promises, and admonitions I seal upon your head by the power and authority of the holy Melchizedek Priesthood vested in me as a patriarch and I do so humbly in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen."
