Wow! What an absolutely incredible story. Hearing things like this always increases my testimony that the Lord is aware of us and blesses us when we follow Him, whether immediately or down the road. Thank you for sharing!

In those days men had to serve as a deacon, teacher and priest for three years before being ordained to the Melchizedek priesthood. After two years i asked the Bishop when that would be. If you pay your tithing regularly, on the third anniversary of the date U were baptised he replied. We were also anxious to be sealed in the Temple and he said the same. We had just started a new business & money was tight. However, I paid my tithing. Then I took ten pounds from our savings, and paid it as a deposit for a flight to the London Temple to leave the day after I was ordained an elder. My wife was shocked, but I said, the Lord will provide the money at the time its needed. Within 2 weeks, I was shocked by a director of a well known business telling me he wanted to distribute our product countrywide. A few days later we had the same offer from another company. Then they both said they would buy a 50% share. I let them bid against each other then closed on the highest bid, an amount which would pay our airfares, accomodation and spending money. The agreement stipulated a three months break overseas. From the day I signed and got the money, I knew beyond any shadow of a doubt that the Lord had orchestrated the whole deal, showing me how to invent the product, manufacture and pack it. When I paid my tithing I knew beyond anything that we would be blessed. When I paid the deposit on the airtickets, the business tool off and sales increased every month. We literally went from rags to riches from the day we joined the church, which was the same day +1 that we started the business. The Lord, through the Holy Ghost led guided and directed us in everything, both big an small every day. Joy and happiness, light truth and knowledge flowed in and built our testimonies, for which we will ever be grateful and love the Lord for.
