Patriarchal Blessings: Tribes of Israel

Today's lesson in Young Women's is about Patriarchal Blessings. In my preparations, I have come across many interesting things about the Tribes of Israel.

 https://www.lds.org/liahona/2004/03/about-patriarchal-blessings?lang=eng Tells us a lot of general info about Patriarchal Blessings. All the mechanics, from what to wear to the promises being fulfilled.

This article answered a lot of my questions: http://www.lds.org/ensign/1982/01/the-other-tribes-which-are-they?lang=eng
It explained how the Lost Tribes aren't really all that lost physically. (Though they are displaced from their lands of inheritance.)

And this article was super technical but very interesting. I am going to go back and read it more closely another time. http://maxwellinstitute.byu.edu/publications/review/?vol=18&num=1&id=602  I think the gist of it was that the Lost Tribes' blood was all mixed in to the populations of the world, including the Lamanites.

If you're curious, go check it out!
