"Our dear Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ and by the power of the Holy Melchezidic Priesthood which we hold, we take this infant in our arms to give him a name and a blessing. The name by which he shall be known on the records of the church and throughout his time on this earth is Maddox Diaz Draper. At this time Maddox we give you a blessing that may be a pattern for your life on this earth. We bless you that you may be strong spiritually, emotionally and physically. We bless you that you may be an example to those who will surely follow you. We bless you that you may seek and follow good examples in your own life—that you will listen to your parents and be patient with them. We bless you that you will work hard in whatever it is you seek to do in your life. We bless you that you will walk uprightly before the Lord, keep his commandments, and always strive to prepare to serve a mission and be married in the Lord’s temple. We bless you with these things and every other blessing that the Lord sees fit to bestow upon you and we do this in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen."
