Two Missionaries' Miraculous Provision of Travel Funds

“Two missionaries arrived in Africa, President Mc-Kay related, and, as is usual, they were asked to produce a certain sum of money before they could land. The young men explained that they had no money with them but that they would receive all that they needed when they arrived at the Mission Office. The shipping authorities were unwilling to allow them to leave the boat... Finally, faced with the prospect of returning back home yet anxious to fulfil their missions, they resorted, as most missionaries do, when everything else fails, to prayer and supplication to the Lord... No sooner had they stopped praying than one of them went to his trunk to get something, and as he lifted the lid, to his amzement, he called his companion and said, "Look, here is money. Perhaps this is what we want." Uncertain u to Itfl amount but knowing that the money m there, they hurriedly took it to the Steward of the boat. The man counted the money and said "This Is exactly the amount you Deed to show the authorities before you can land."... They were eager to get there and to trll the Mission President what had happened. No sooner had they reached the doorstep than they related to those who welcomed them there their wonderful experience. "President, we surely prayed hard. We were afraid that we would never be allowed to land, and we vert not so anxious to go back after such a long trip. Why. no sooner had we finished praying than we found the money we needed right in this trunk." One of the missionaries said "Here," he opened the trunk. "Ill show you, President "—the money wasn't there. They looked at each other and they looked at the President. This testimony, never to be forgotten, was engraved in their minds and hearts, and they knew that the Lord opened the way to them to do His will and fulfil His calling. — Millennial Star 105:18”
