“So many of you look upon missionary work as simply tracting/ knocking doors, and the sole responsibility of the full-time missionaries, this is so far from the truth. Everyone who is familiar with his work knows there is a better way. That way is through the members of the Church. Whenever there is a member that introduces an investigator, there is an immediate support system. The member bears testimony of the truth, and the work. He is anxious for the happiness of the investigator and friend. He becomes excited as that friend makes progress in learning the gospel.”
Gordon B. Hinkley - Feb 21, 1999
