Dear President Albright,

Brother Robert Taylor in the Great Falls ward (McLean Stake) is a retired

physicist. He came across the audio of "the Profile of a Prophet" by Hugh B.

Brown on the internet. He then made little cards with a link to the audio clip and

went to his neighbors, in a very affluent area. He prepared a door approach and

visited twenty-three of his neighbors that he had never met before. Of the 23

people he visited, he gave out twelve of his home-made pass along cards. He

then presented us missionaries with a list of the twelve most promising

potentials. The list included the day and time he visited and which times they

were home, as well as who he talked to in the household and how they responded.

Over the past few weeks we have been visiting the people on the list and some are turning

into good investigators. For example, one of his neighbors that let us in is the Zafar family from

Pakistan. We sat down and talked with them about the Book of Mormon and the restored Gospel.

We discussed the similarities in our faiths such as prayer and fasting. They were very warm and

friendly. We left them with an Urdu Book of Mormon which they agreed to read. They invited us

back to talk more about it, and the two boys 17 and 18 are going to play cricket with us. Their

family friend also from Pakistan (but Catholic) has also agreed to meet with us.

Although assignments from leaders are usually necessary to obtain such referrals, Brother Taylor

had no assignment, but just wanted to do missionary work and share the Gospel! His fearless

actions have led to some wonderful new investigators!

Thanks,

Elder Franzwa
