As I have read through those magnificent accounts, it amazes me how strong the faith was of those who were healed by the Savior. We have been blessed in our time with so many witnesses and so many ways to learn of the Savior, in their day they did not have that luxury. The faith the built was essentially built upon very small amounts of information. It helps me to have a greater faith myself. I have been so blessed to know of the Savior and all that he has done and I owe it to those before me to continue to build that faith. Knowing the power the Lord has helps me to do so.
