Wow...as I sit here too full to want to move, football in the background, warm home, lights. I wish I had a tenth of this man's motivation. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so very much for such a wonderful and beautiful and inspirational story!!! This brother was/is incredible!!! and he puts me to shame!!!! Wow, what he did, and being Christlike all the time!!! And having so many health problems and a deformed body and lots of pain!!! I have gotten to work in the Bountiful Temple, some, but quit when my younger son was coming back from his mission, thinking I would get to spend time with him, but didn’t, because he was so busy with his life!! I wish I had never quit working at the Temple then!! And my health has deteriorated, so I am basically homebound… Bless you for your work in the temple and your work on doing these videos, Brother!!!! Today, one year ago, my husband passed through the veil… well, he is not suffering anymore… And our daughter-in-law passed to the veil this last Easter with stage four melanoma… She is not suffering anymore, either, and was only 41… The Lord is calling so many people home!!!! I look forward to being home, to join my husband, and my daughter-in-law and my family!! Thank you so very much again, Brother . Sister Gay Michaelis(and Brother Duane Michaelis) and family. I didn’t get to join the church until I was 45 up in Alaska!! And I was the second person to take out their temple endowments in the new small Anchorage Temple…❤😇🙏👌😊✝️👍✡️
This is such a good story to listen to whenever we feel sorry for ourselves in life for troubles that are trivial compared to what this man went through.
Your voice and spirit are so uplifting and I appreciate listening to your voice. Thank you for all you share it means a lot to me! I hope your granddaughter is healing well.🩵💖
Many of my ancestors came from Aalborg, Denmark, and surrounding areas. When someone joined the LDS Church, they were ostracized and couldn't find work or housing. Brother Larsen was a remarkable person. Thank you for this wonderful, uplifting story..
Bro Merrill my husband's family is from Denmark.. We could never make any headway on finding anyone past his father's adoptive parents no matter where or how we searched. My husband was called in a mission to the Spirit world in January 2021. I know this. Recently three more generations have been found..i know he's there teaching his ancestors. Soon I'm sure more names will be found as he reaches out to them.
This is a book that was published as part of a 15 part youth program in the early 1900s. "Faith Promoting Series." This book is called "Treasures in Heaven'" It is by Geo. C. Lambert published in 1914. It is written in English, but I spent 2 days writing this version in language that is more understandable. The sentence structure an words are very confusing to how we communicate today. Niels Eskildz. If you search that name with LDS in google search, it references the book.
We have Danish in our family line including Larsen. This made me wonder if we are related. My great grandparents used to speak Danish and dress in their Danish clothing. Great grandpa was a remarkable wood carver and grandma made wonderful chicken and dumplings with nutmeg and Danish pastries. They had strong testimonies and made America their home. I hope my children will realize the sacrifices of their Danish ancestors.
The Daines are great cooks and woodworkers. But they seemed really solid in their conversions. I think there was a lot of persecution against those who joined the church there
Dear Brother Merril-- The algorithm placed you in my YT feed a week ago-- I stopped short-- I exclaimed to my husband Mike: "that's Lance Merrill from my former Provo Riverwoods Ward!" I hadn't had you and Cherie on my mental radar , so I --then a single sister- 😮since a day Holly Bergmann went with me, Kit Kartchner, (we are still close friends, went to the Draper Temple and your father stepped up to be the needed "One more brother, please" in the prayer circle. I've been bingeing on your wonderful stories and marveling. Surely the spirit must have directed you to do..."Start a TH-cam channel!" I am so glad you are doing this here. It is such needed content -- a truly uplifting channel without any concern I might run into yet another often divisive channel's content. My new husband Mike and I are having our first difference of opinion ;) What is the frames picture of that sits on the shelf to your right shoulder? I say it's Moroni wielding the Title of Liberty. He says it's two guys caught in the middle of a flip off a ski jump. Will you solve our dilemma? Say hi to your dear wife for me, FKA Kit Kartchner-- now Sister Gilbert, an Innkeeper in Manti running my historic and beautiful Ed and breakfast: The Yardley Inn and Spa! Bring her down! Come go to the Manti Temple and stay with us and let's reconnect!
Kit it is good to hear from you. I see your posts on FB occasionally. I hate to break it to you...but your husband is right. That is a picture of me doing the world's only tandem forward flip in 1974. We were in Powder Magazine with that shot. The round pin is from us being inducted into the US Skiers hall of fame along with a bunch of other hot doggers/freestyle skiers. Good to hear from you
Kit I thought I should explain my background. I have the 3 columns of shelves set up to represent from left to right. Telestial, things of man on the earth, Terrestrial, creations and hand of God, Celestial Godhead and man with God's word. Time and our Savior in the Meridian are between the 3 columns. I know that is kind of artsy, but I wanted my background to add to the message. Thanks for commenting
I have a missionary story that I consider a miracle fact there are several but the one I'm thinking of took place in Pittsburgh while I was on my mission there in 1971 with a companion that I had for 6 months and I was in that area for 7 months. What was peculiar is even my call to that mission because my father whom I never knew personally had left before I was a year old and that's where he was raised at was in Pennsylvania I knew very little about him or his family but it turned out that he was born in that area and roamed the streets of Pittsburgh as a youth, but that's not my Miracle my call to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania was a miracle In of itself a miracle within a miracle. When I receive your email I will share with you more of the miracle that I speak of.❤
I am a personal miracle story that includes guardian angels. My story is no where near as long as most of the stories you share. But if you interested I can share it with you at some point. My name is Bruce Yocom. Let me know how I should contact you if your interested. If not then thats fine like I said its a short one.
Please send me your email. I have stories from my ancestor that converted President Nelson's ancestor. He also worked with your ancestor Marriner Merrill
I'm sorry TH-cam has started taking down email addresses in this comment section . Please see the first comment in the video. I will post my email there.

I am also getting to where a lot of my loved ones are on the other side. God bless you
Wonderful comment. It helped me as a disabled person homebound most of the time.
This is such a good story to listen to whenever we feel sorry for ourselves in life for troubles that are trivial compared to what this man went through.
I agree. What an inspirational man Niels was. He had such a Christlike acceptance of his place. Thanks for watching
Your voice and spirit are so uplifting and I appreciate listening to your voice. Thank you for all you share it means a lot to me! I hope your granddaughter is healing well.🩵💖
Slowly but surely. Never quick enough for a young person. But we were blessed.
Thank you for this story. It’s a good reminder that we all agreed to go through our trials of life before we came.
I appreciate you watching
Many of my ancestors came from Aalborg, Denmark, and surrounding areas. When someone joined the LDS Church, they were ostracized and couldn't find work or housing. Brother Larsen was a remarkable person. Thank you for this wonderful, uplifting story..

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching
Thank you for sharing this great story it’s amazing
Thanks for watching. I was thrilled to learn about Niels. He was an inspirational person
Bro Merrill my husband's family is from Denmark.. We could never make any headway on finding anyone past his father's adoptive parents no matter where or how we searched. My husband was called in a mission to the Spirit world in January 2021. I know this. Recently three more generations have been found..i know he's there teaching his ancestors. Soon I'm sure more names will be found as he reaches out to them.
It is the most important work we can do. The Lord is helping us on both sides of the veil. Thanks for watching
Please tell me how to get this book and also Niels last name.
Nothing has touched me in such a way like this story a very long time
This is a book that was published as part of a 15 part youth program in the early 1900s. "Faith Promoting Series." This book is called "Treasures in Heaven'" It is by Geo. C.

Oh I really appreciate this whole story
Thank you for sharing this beautiful story ❤️ 💜 22:42
I know this story needed to be told. I have never had so many problems getting a story finished. Thanks for watching
We have Danish in our family line including Larsen. This made me wonder if we are related. My great grandparents used to speak Danish and dress in their Danish clothing. Great grandpa was a remarkable wood carver and grandma made wonderful chicken and dumplings with nutmeg and Danish pastries. They had strong testimonies and made America their home.

❤ Thank you. I am also disabled.
The Daines are great cooks and woodworkers. But they seemed really solid in their conversions. I think there was a lot of persecution against those who joined the church there
My Danish ancestors, Andersons, converted in the 1850's and were part of the Willie Handcart. My true heroes and great examples in my life.
@@FromG2eminor Wonderful!

I can’t believe those sisters had to be hired to do temple work. Did I hear that right?
Yes apparently during that time people hired others at 75 cents a day to do work for their ancestors. thanks for watching, you can send me the bill 🙂
@@GodLovesYouAskHim interesting
@@shireecox122 thanks
I find it interesting that the Lutheran priest could prophecy accurately
I think there good people in all churches. We have more truth than them. But they are trying to follow Christ. Thanks for watching
