Gordon B. Hinckley (15th and current prophet):

One of the most fruitful sources of contact for our missionaries lies in referrals sent to them. A member of the Church will suggest to an associate or a relative that he invite the missionaries to come to his home. President J. Leonard Love tells me that in the Northern California Mission their experience indicates that forty percent of the referrals given them join the Church. Think of it! Forty percent of the names sent to them result in convert baptisms! In the British Mission at one time it was discovered that sixty-eight percent of those who had come into the Church had made their first acquaintance with the doctrines through members of the Church.

My brethren and sisters, this assignment to teach the gospel belongs to all of us, not only to the fifty-five hundred devoted men and women who presently are serving in the field. It belongs to each of us, and we shall not be through with it until the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done.

God help us to sense and fulfil our mission honorably, I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
