On January 26–27, the Heavenly Latin America Branch Training Center held its second special event, a Hyojeong Special Workshop at the Conoellas Training Center, an hour away from Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina.
To prepare for the workshop, 130 core members from Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Chile gathered at the training center starting January 7. Many of them were university students who took the opportunity to spend their winter vacation working as workshop staff, and share the workshop responsibilities.
A total of 351 members attended the Hyojeong Workshop, including 47 members from Paraguay, who traveled more than 22 hours by bus to attend.
The church foundation in Uruguay is not strong, but a group of 39 young people and blessed central families came from Uruguay. The FFWPU Uruguay president and two other members traveled by bus 33 hours from Bolivia to help prepare for the workshop. The 351 people who attended the workshop filled the lecture halls with a holy atmosphere of attendance to Heavenly Parent and True Parents.
The FFWPU members in Latin America know the importance of the heavenly works in the era of True Parents’ direct dominion, so they make every effort to visit their spiritual homeland, Korea, but it is very far, so it is not easy to get there. Our Latin American Members are very grateful that now they are able to attend special workshops led by the Heavenly Latin America Branch Training Center, following True Parents’ guidance, and all the family members attended the opening ceremony of the workshop with reverence.
Rev. Seong-nam Kim (President of Heavenly Latin America Branch Training Center), delivered opening remarks based on the words he received from True Mother in Cheon Jeong Gung on October 11, and was able to convey True Mother’s exact standard regarding the providence of spiritual works through the Branch Training Centers. This was a great blessing given to leaders of Argentina and all the family members from the region, so they applauded loudly. It was a time to thank True Parents for granting the heavenly grace of creating a Branch Training Center with grace and works equal to those that members can receive at the HJ Heaven and Earth CheonBo Training Center in Korea. 
The historical moment when the first chanyang began in Argentina, all the members concentrated and tried to remove the evil spirits. Their passionate energy and sincerity filled the area around the training center.
It was a short 30-minutes chanyang session, but they did their best to liberate the evil spirits that were unknowingly attached to them, to become entirely one with True Parents, and to determine to live according to Heavenly Parent’s shimjeong.
On the second day, an Ancestor Liberation Ceremony was held, along with an Ancestor Blessing Ceremony and a Hyojeong Offering Ceremony. All of the members made serious effort to participate in the Ancestor Liberation Ceremony. Despite their poor financial situations, each family strived to liberate as many of their ancestors as possible through the workshop, and were grateful that the ceremony was held close to where they lived. While participating in the chanyang to remove their evil spirits and the resentful spirits connected with their ancestors, they prayed sincerely for True Parents to help them to become true children of True Parents and fulfill the heavenly tribal messiah mission.
After the Ancestor Liberation Ceremony, all the members participated solemnly in the Ancestor Blessing Ceremony wearing holy robes. As they looked at each other, some of the members said, "I feel like I'm in heaven." Through the atmosphere in the hall where the Ancestor Blessing Ceremony was held, many participants could feel the grace and love and blessing of heaven themselves.
We would like to share some testimonies of the participants who experienced grace during the events.
