[MUSIC PLAYING] Missionaries and members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are sent forth to labor in the Lord's vineyard for the salvation of the souls of men. This includes member missionary work at its best, with activation of less active members and preparation of God's children for all the blessings of the temple. God wants all of His children to return to Him and qualify for eternal life. Even in places where the Lord's church is just developing leaders understand that His work is about reaching out to bless individuals and help them progress in the Gospel. Basically we go to their homes. We go to their homes and try to share our testimony. And love them and try to bring them back. Whenever we found out that there is a less active people we give the name the missionaries. And we told them to just find out what's their problem. And we contact through phone and we visit them. And it happens in our own branch. Like we have a less active sister. She was less active, I think, for a long time. No one able to visit her, I don't know why. I we told missionaries, can you go there and find out if they're still there or they shifted. And missionary went there. And they said, yeah, the sister is there. And they have some kind of problems, like financial problem. And we contact that sister, we help her. And when she came back-- now she's active. She attended three Sundays. And she said, sister, that's the thing I really like. The people really loves you. They care about you. We had a less active member. She has not had any church. And we took [INAUDIBLE].

And she attended church. And he invited the Spirit and bared his testimony. When we bare our testimony then people will change their lives. Interesting. One of the things that is so important is what you're talking about. Is this spirit of revelation in all that we do. The spirit of inspiration. It teaches us what to say, when to say it, when to be quiet. And went to testify. And when you testify the right way at the right time, that spirit carries into the heart of the next person, doesn't it? You're shaking your head yes, Sister [INAUDIBLE]. What would you say about that? Yes. When we bear our testimony we certainly invite the Spirit into the room. And the investigators or the less active members, they can feel the Spirit. And that's what makes them understand that this is something that they're missing in their lives. And they decide to come back because they know that this is an important thing which they will be missing in their life. Brother Watson, we haven't heard for you. What would you say about this outstanding district and how they're doing? Elder Anderson, they are focused on the work of salvation versus the calendar or some other types of things. And the members are actively involved in missionary work. A large majority of the converts in New Delhi are because of the enthusiasm of the members who are proud to be Latter Day Saints.
