Setting Apart as a Missionary - July 6, 2025

Sister Copeland was officially set apart as a missionary by her father, Kent Copeland, Second Counselor in the Yakima Washington Stake Presidency. 

 

This is the priesthood ordinance of giving authority to members called to labor in specific responsibilities.  It is done by those having the proper priesthood authority and by the laying on of hands.  She was given a beautiful blessing, and many promises were made if she would devote these next 18 months to the Lord and be obedient in all her responsibilities.  She was told there would be people waiting specifically for her to come to hear the word of the Lord.  She was then able to officially put on her name tag as a missionary for the next 18 months.  Sister Copeland's sister, Brenly, helped her put her badge on.
