We bless you with spiritual gifts, with love and with charity.

Amelia, prepare yourself for wonderful encounters with individuals in which Heavenly Father has prepared for you. We also bless you with love for the people you serve and for those you serve with. See the love Heavenly Father has for you.

Help show those you serve and those you serve with of His Love. We bless you with the gift of love and service for the people.

We bless you that you will have formative experiences as you establish stronger relations with others.

You have prepared and the Heavenly Father will enable you to be an effective missionary. His love for you and His plan and sacrifice He has made for you means you are part of his family.

Teach the people about families. The covenants of the temple, and always remember the covenants you have made and blessings you have received.

Be filled with love and respect for others and He will work within you. All of your strengths and abilities will benefit others on your mission. You will quickly feel the love of the people. We bless you with the ability to lose yourself and focus on the people you serve. You will feel lifted from this.

You will experience joy as you serve. This joy will be recognized in your service by yourself and by others.

Let your light shine and allow others to see the Savior’s light through their encounters with you.

You will feel and recognize the Savior’s perfect love for you and this will be expressed to you in this life and in eternity. Help the people to receive the atonement and come unto Him.  The most important relationship you will focus on is the Savior and to the people you teach.

We bless you that you will be a good teacher. Magnify and strengthen your spiritual gift of being articulate. You will be able to answer and help them.

We bless you with patience and a sense of humor. To learn to wait for those you teach and to yourself. You get time to learn and grow.
