Elder Emil B. Jensen's Miraculous Crossing into Torneo

Elder Emil B. Jensen, laboring in the northern part of Sweden, was led by what he felt was an over-ruling Providence to cross a bridge into Torneo, a Russian city. While distributing literature, he had already disposed of his whole stock to eager buyers. Upon returning to the Swedish side, he realized that had the Russian customs officers seen his books and tracts, they would have confiscated and burned them.

Fuller account of this event (as retold in The Latter-day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 55, No. 47 (20 November 1893)):

He and another Elder had been sent to the northern part of the conference and had labored there during the summer. When they came to Haparanda they concluded each to take a certain district. The east side of the city fell to Jensen’s lot. Coming to a river and seeing quite a city on the east side of it, he crossed the bridge and continued his labors there. The people eagerly bought his tracts and books, and soon his whole stock was disposed of. He then re-crossed the bridge and found that he had been laboring in Torneo, a Russian city. The custom officers are generally so alert that nothing can pass the bridge without being examined. Bro. Jensen felt that an over-ruling Providence had directed him, for had the officers seen his books and tracts, they would have confiscated and burned them.
