Fred - Missionary Certificate

After being set apart, Fred received a missionary certificate, as was standard practice:


Holiness to the Lord

Missionary Certificate

To all Persons to whom this Letter shall come:

This certifies that the bearer Elder Frederick J. Kohlhepp is in full faith and fellowship with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and by the General Authorities of said Church has been duly appointed to a Mission to Switzerland and Germany to Preach the Gospel and administer in all the Ordinances thereof pertaining to his office.

And we invite all men to give heed to his Teachings and Counsels as a man of God sent to open to them the door of Life and Salvation – and to assist him in his travels, in whatsoever things he may need.

And we pray God, The Eternal Father, to bless Elder Kohlhepp and all who receive him and minister to his comfort, with the blessings of Heaven and Earth, for time and all eternity in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. Signed at Salt Lake City, Utah. September 12th, 1905, in behalf of said Church.
