Indian New Delhi Mission

2015 – 2017

My conversion into the true gospel of Jesus Christ: In July 2009, the missionaries were searching near my home for people to teach but they were unable to find any families. Finally, one of the Elders prayed to the Lord and was inspired by the Holy Ghost. They came to my door and knocked while I was cleaning my home. When I heard the sound and opened the door, I saw there were two men standing by the door. They told me they were missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and that they had a special message of Jesus Christ. I said to them, “I'm so sorry I don't have time to listen,” so they invited me to attend church the following Sunday. I decided to attend. When I went to the church, I felt peace. Then I invited the missionaries to my home. They taught me and introduced me to the Book of Mormon. I did not believe it at first, so they asked me to pray. So I prayerfully sought the inspiration of the Holy Ghost. A few days later my prayer was answered and I was baptized on August 16th, 2009. A few months later I baptized my brother and mother. A few years later I felt the desire to serve a mission, but many family problems got in my way. I asked God to please help me to help me find a job in the year 2012. On January 27th, 2012, I got a job in a hospital. I thanked God for helping me and promised Him that I would serve a mission. Three years later, on August 28th, I got a mission call to serve the India New Delhi mission. I served for two years and saw many miracles in my mission life. I would like to share some. One of my investigators went to Jaipur for an interview. While there, she saw a woman crying and asked her what was wrong. She replied that her daughter had pneumonia and the doctor said it was very dangerous. So, my investigator called me and explained the problem. At that time, I was fasting, so I prayed for that sister. After two days, I got a call from my investigator saying that the woman's daughter was fine. That day I realized how much God loves His children. I know that the Book of Mormon is really the true word of God, and that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints is the one and only true church in this world. I say these things in the Savior’s name, Amen.
