Yeah, after I heard about hers I always wondered about what they were like (for women). Even though I spent so much time in the mormon church, that’s one thing I feel I don’t have much of a clue about, since the blessings are considered sacred and supposed to be secret (I know most couples let their spouse read theirs). You’re allowed to share details “if moved upon by the spirit,” so occasionally you’d hear someone in a church meeting vaguely allude to theirs, or hear through the grapevine what someone said second hand. The only other “girl” blessing I heard about was one that actually did give some pretty wild specifics, like that she was going to be a musical talent who traveled the world with her husband, and her husband’s position would be significant enough that she would play for dignitaries and so forth. She did end up learning an instrument at a professional level, in spite of teachers telling her she had plateaued talent wise before that. Not sure if she ever married a diplomat or whatever that would be, but yeah I mean who knows what that does to someone mentally if a blessing with that level of promise doesn’t “come true” and the only explanation is “huh i guess you goofed up at some point, only god can say teehee.”
