  • This is an amazing story: A 10 year-old boy of royal Danish descent is injured and crippled for life. No one thought could live. In his youth he received a vision of his pre-mortal life and knew he had chosen his mortal journey.. He led an amazing life as a cripple. Miracles attended his painful labored existence as he left his native land and came to Zion. His appearance repulsed those who saw him, this caused him emotional pain. He quietly suffered through emotional and physicalpain and humiliation his entire life. As he labored in the newly opened Temples in Utah, he came to his own. Niels Eskildz was the old, crippled giant of Salt Lake.

    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.

    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..

    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. 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.

    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.

    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…❤😇🙏👌😊✝️👍✡️

    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.
