Eva A. Hasler's Answered Prayers and Protection During Immigration

In June 1906, Eva A. Hasler left England for Zion. Before departing, she received a blessing from President Grant promising that if she remained faithful, she would overcome all obstacles, reach her destination in safety, and find many friends. During the voyage, her money was stolen. She prayed for guidance and felt a sense of peace that the Lord would provide. Upon arrival in Boston, a company of Church members, unknown to her, subscribed $23 for her, and Sister Zina Chipman lent the rest. She was then detained and subjected to a four-hour interrogation by three U.S. commissioners regarding her faith, the Prophet, and the Church. She reported that the Lord blessed her with wisdom to answer their questions, and at the conclusion, all three commissioners thanked her for the information and asked her questions about individual revelation. She was later released and found the promised support in Zion.
