PLEASANT GROVE - A local teen received devastating news today when he was given his patriarchal blessing. He had visited his stake patriarch with high hopes but came away severely disappointed. We caught up with Kaden Jathen to get the full story.
"All my friends were getting their blessings," says Kaden. "And without fail they all were really pleased with the content they were hearing. You know, stuff like being generals in heaven and helping to cast Satan down to outer darkness in the pre-existence. One of my friends' blessings says he'll go on his mission to Idaho but then he'll be called to open the Chinese mission. Another of my friends was told that he would marry a '10' and live in a mansion. All really cool stuff."
So what about his blessing didn't he like? What did he feel was wrong with it?
