Because all of the charismatic spiritual gifts are found in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Mormon Church, miracles are common. Mormons not only believe in personal revelation, through the Holy Ghost, which can warn of danger and prompt behavior, but God's power is manifest through the Holy Priesthood. Elders of the Church are able to give Priesthood blessings through the laying on of hands that can provide miraculous healing or information that leads to comfort unattainable any other way. Fasting and prayer also yield miracles.

A miracle occurred in March, 2010, upon the cataclysmic event in Chile -- one of the world's most serious earthquakes. The mission president in the area, overseeing the safety and service of 171 LDS missionaries, was warned in a dream that an earthquake was coming and to prepare the missionaries. No missionaries were injured, because they were prepared. They were able to immediately help their neighbors and communities.
