We're at Church Headquarters. We’re going to visit Elder Ulisses Soares of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. We’re going to ask him about the promises we make when we're baptized. Alright Abby, let's go! Hello, Abby and Thomas! Come in.

Please have a seat in my office. Okay. Thank you for coming. It’s so good to see you, and thank you for wearing your masks! So, since we are a little away from each other, I think we can remove our masks now so we can hear each other better. -How is that? -Good Excellent. Now tell me what brings you to my office today? As you know, we are having a little broadcast for children of the Church, and we want to ask you a question. That is wonderful! Go ahead. We’ve been talking about baptism. We know that when we’re baptized we make promises or covenants with God. Some of us have already made those covenants, and some of us will soon. What advice do you have for us about keeping these promises? Well, I would love to answer that question--with a story from when I was eleven years old. In fact, I have a little friend here who can help me to tell that story. Hey, Young Ulisses, are you there?

Hello Elder Soares! Children, this was me when I was 11 years old. Ulisses, say hello to my dear new friends Thomas and Abby. -Hi guys!! -Hi Ulisses. Hey, Ulisses, will you you help me tell a story? Is it the one about the money again? That’s the one. Go ahead! When I, like you, was in Primary, my kind bishop invited me to talk to him in his office. He talked to me about keeping the promises I made to Heavenly Father when I had been baptized a couple of years before. He also talked to me about the importance of keeping the commandments and always being honest with God and with other people. Then he looked in my eyes and said, “Ulisses, if you do the things we just have talked about, you will be blessed in your life and you will be better prepared to serve a mission someday." I was surprised because I was only 11 years old! But from then on, I always remembered my bishop’s words. One day I faced a challenge. My mother gave me money and asked me to go to a store close to my house to buy some fruit. On my way home from the store, I looked at the money in my hand. I saw that I had more money than I had started with! The old lady behind the counter had made a mistake and had given me too much money back. As I was curiously counting the money, Satan tried to convince me that I could keep the money for myself. I thought, “I can give the correct change back to my mother. Then I can keep the extra money to spend however I want.” But then I remembered what my bishop taught me. I knew that to keep my baptismal covenants, I needed to be honest. When I had this thought, I felt the Holy Ghost. So I walked back to the store and returned the money to the old lady behind the counter. As I walked home that day, I felt good in my heart. I knew I was obeying Heavenly Father’s commandments. Choosing the right during this moment gave me the strength to make many, many other correct choices and keep my promises to my Heavenly Father.

All right, Thomas and Abby, boys and girls around the world--and that includes you, Ulisses--please always remember the covenants you make when you are baptized. You promised to keep the commandments, remember Jesus Christ, and take Jesus’s name upon you. And you will have the Holy Ghost to help you. Prepare yourself to have a good life. Heavenly Father will give you all the blessings you need. Well, does that answer your question, Abby and Thomas?

Yes, it does, thank you! That was so wonderful. Oh, that’s great. Thank you for coming. Well, ciao, Ulisses, and good-bye to you! Thank you very much. So, I will accompany you at the door. Come on. [MUSIC PLAYING] Pretty cool, right? Yeah, it was awesome getting to know Elder Soares... and young Ulisses too!

You're right.
