Marissa Elise Hadden, we give you a blessing at this time. We bless you that the MTC will be a place where you feel safe and you feel uplifted. We bless you as you receive the instruction necessary for you to serve, that you will receive insights and inspiration. We bless you with feeling the calm assurance and confidence as you leave the MTC to enter the mission field. We bless you that as you serve in the Ventura, California mission, you will have many choice experiences that will build and strengthen your testimony. We bless you that you will be a witness to miracles as you see the change which the Gospel makes in the lives of others. We bless you to develop friendships which will last far beyond your time in the mission field. We bless that you as you continue in your service, you will become an effective leader. We bless you that as you work with other missionaries and your mission president and his wife, that you will come to admire and love them. We bless you that through the teachings and instruction which you will receive during your mission, that your Gospel understanding will be enlarged and your testimony will be strengthened. We bless you with strength and with health. We bless that you will have a testimony of those rules which are are provided for your safety. We bless you with an understanding that there is safety in those rules. We bless you with discernment and judgement. We bless you that you will know the feel of the prayers being offered in your behalf. We bless you that you will come home with honor, a young woman with deeper understanding and greater faith. We bless you that you will serve with all the energy of your soul, that you may return home knowing that you gave all during this sacred service. 

These blessings we seal upon you, as well as all others you stand in need of. 

In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, amen.
