“I would advise you to get all of your blessings written and preserve them...I do feel to enjoin it upon you to make a record of every official act of your life. If you baptize, confirm, ordain, or bless any person or administer to the sick, write an account of it. If every man will do this, the Church can write a correct account of it...if the power and blessings of God are made manifest in your preservation from danger...you should make a record of it. Keep an account of the dealings of God with you daily. I have written all the blessings I have received, and I would not take gold for them.” IfsMenFeelsShouldWritingPersonsMadeChurchRecordsWrittenDangerBlessingGoldSickAccountsEvery ManPreservesOfficialsBlessManifestPreservationAdviseDealings Author:Wilford Woodruff
