The YSA Experience

Kundan Yadav

Malviya Nagar Ward, New Delhi, India

I am Kundan Yadav, a member of the Malviya Nagar ward in New Delhi.

I was referred to the Church by my best friend, Aliza Charles, and I have been active since the first day.

I discovered that as I strive to follow all the commandments including counsel from prophets and other teachings of the church, I have felt God’s love for me in my life.

I was fortunate enough to attend a young single adult conference which was held in Hyderabad. It was worth being a part of that conference, because I believe that learning is the key to success and that this conference was a rich source of learning.

As this conference was addressed self-reliance, I learned invaluable things about the subject and below are a few:

D&C 104:15: “And it is my purpose to provide for my saints, for all things are mine.”
Everything that we do in our life has spiritual aspect even our temporal life.
A bachelor’s degree course from BYU can be done from home.
Ways to manage monthly expenses.
Skills to get a self-reliant job.

Though this conference was based on self-reliance, but we also had a lot of fun learning. If I would be asked to rate this conference on a scale of 1 to 10, I would give it a 10/10.

I am the only Church member in my family and when I joined the Church, I never thought of going on mission, but as I continued to exercise my faith, the Lord blessed me with immense blessings, and I experienced miracles, and this gave me the courage to decide to go on a mission. I have been called to serve in the India Bengaluru mission and I reported to the Philippines missionary training center on March 7. I am looking forward to a lifetime of rich and fruitful experiences that I can pass on to my descendants.
