Good stuff guys. Hopefully I wont be prompted by the spirit to talk about the spaghetti monster or muddle any words, though that is always possible with me. I figure I managed to bless her in front of the whole ward. If I screw up this time it will only be in front of half the people.

Really good information guys, I appreciate all the good answers. The one I have heard the most is the "and say until you receive the holy ghost." Not to derail the conversation but what if someone was to word the prayer wrong. Would the be required to say the whole thing over again or would the presiding authority let it go as long as it was close?

I will be baptizing and confirming my daughter in a few weeks and have a few questions regarding the confirmation prayer. I am sure these are very basic questions but this is my first time doing it. My main question is when confirming I am suppose to say: 4. bestows the holy ghost with such words as "receive the holy ghost" (not "receive the gift of the holy ghost") Saying "receive the holy ghost" doesn't really flow very well, how is this normally said in the flow of the prayer? Also when confirming would I place both hands on my daughters head or just one? There will be probably 7 or 8 others in the circle? Thanks for the help guys.
