Yesterday’s answer:
D. Richard G. Scott
From the life of Richard Gordon
Scott: Several of Elder Scott’s professors at George Washington
University warned him that leaving [for an LDS mission] at such a crucial point
in his career would greatly limit his chances for success. But the rightness of
his decision was underscored when, just five weeks after he started his first
job since his return from Uruguay, he was asked to join the highly prestigious
staff of Admiral Hyman G. Rickover in the development of nuclear power for the
Atomic Energy Commission. Several weeks later Elder Scott noticed that one
“professor who had said I wouldn’t be able to get a good job if I went on a
mission . . . was working three levels below me in the program. That was a
testimony to me of how the Lord blessed me as I put my priorities straight.”
His mission, his subsequent marriage
to Jeanene in the Manti Temple on 16 July 1953, and his job with the Atomic
Energy Commission led him into the paths he followed for the rest of his life.
He worked at his new post for twelve years, furthering the use of nuclear power
for the Navy’s submarines. Then in 1965 came another mission call—this time to
serve as president of the North Argentine Mission. Again, his superiors,
especially Admiral Rickover, warned him that his career would be ruined if he
interrupted it at this point. Undaunted, he accepted the call, serving with
valor and devotion for four years. Upon his return, he was again blessed to
reenter his highly competitive and technical field with the company MTR
Associated, a developer of nuclear fuels. He said, “I feel that when we do what
the servants of the Lord ask us to do to the best of our ability, we will be
given aid and will not lose out in any way.”
