- ==Biography:==
- "...I was born the 13th of October in the year of our Lord, 1823 in Otterup parish, on Fyen in Denmark to my parents, Hans Jorgensen and Maren Kirstine Pedersen (Pedersdatter). I was my parents firstborn son, I had 5 brothers and sisters and a half brother. My parents were very poor, so because of that I had to walk around the country selling cow hides and clay ceramics to ease their burden. My half brother, Jorgen Jacobsen, who was older than I, was my companion but when he grew older he felt ashamed, and there after I had to do this work alone and even beg people to give me something to eat, which food I thereafter, when possible, brought back home to my parents and smaller brothers and sisters. Several years passed this way. Later on my father started slaughtering cattle, and I accompanied him to the different cities as well as to the country selling the meat. In the summer time I also had to work very hard cutting peat moss and helping my parents the best way I could...."
- "...I also participated at the great battle at Dybol, where I was recognized for bravery and rewarded Dannebrogsorden. I also participated in all of the greater battles between the Danes and the Germans..."
- "...In the spring of 1850 I was stationed in Aasum, Odense, Denmark. Here I met and got acquainted with Maren Katherine Christensen (Christensdatter), who later became my wife..."
- "...On May twenty fourth I took employment in Copenhagen. While here I was afforded the opportunity to hear about a religious movement called Mormonism, the correct name is "The
- Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints." I was informed about its truthfulness by the Lord, who was the originator of the same, and He gave me about it. One of the elders of the church, Elder Christiansen visited me at the room where I resided. During our conversation he put his hand upon my previously mentioned injured knee. I then thought to myself, if he is a servant of God, like unto those of olden times, then the healing power should affect me because of being touched by him. He had no knowledge of my injury, as he touched me I felt a chill go over my whole body. I excused my self and left the room to remove the bandage from my knee, and from that time I was made well and whole. On the twenty fifth of August 1851 I accepted the gospel of Jesus Christ by baptism, it being performed by Elder Christiansen and shortly thereafter I had hands laid upon my head for the Gift of the Holy Ghost...."
- "...In December 1852 my parents started their journey to Zion, ( Utah territory, North America)...."
- "...My father was born the twenty ninth of November 1795, in Vellinge, Fyen, and my mother, Maren Kirstine Pedersen (Pedersdatter), was born the twenty seventh of January 1794 in Sverup Molle, Vigerslev, Fyen, Denmark...."
- "...April the twenty fourth, 1853 I was married by the district justice, Knudsen with the previously mentioned girl, Maren Katherine Christensen (Christensdatter) which took place in Odense..."
- "...The same day my brother, Peder Hansen and Karen Pedersen (Pedersdatter) were married the same way. December twenty sixth, 1853 we left after turning over my mission duties to my brother. We left Denmark and arrived at Liverpool. Here our son Lars Christian Hansen died the sixteenth of January 1854. My wife gave birth to another son, who was named Joseph Christian Hansen, born January sixteenth 1854 in Liverpool. After about two weeks stay, we departed in the sailing vessel “Benjamin Adams” on which seven or eight hundred Latter Day Saints were passengers. On this voyage my wife suffered much with sickness which was a great trial for me, as it was difficult to find a women who nursed, so our little son could be breast fed. After seven weeks we landed at New Orleans, in the blessed land of America..."
- "...My father had now another wife by the name of Dorthea. My mother had died aboard the ship that took them from England to America, but because they were so close to land she was buried in America. October fifth 1854 we came into the great Salt Lake valley and the beautiful laid out city...

- Lars Pedersens søstersøn,
- Jens Hansen, blev mormon
- Vi skal tilbage til Sværup Mølle. Til Lars Pedersens søster Maren. Hun bosatte sig med mand og børn ude på Trøstrup Mark – i luftlinje kun godt en kilometer fra Sværup Mølle.
- I 1823 fik Maren en søn, Jens Hansen. Han voksede op i dette stærke religiøse miljø omkring Lars Pedersen og kan have set sin morbror som et forbillede, og han blev lægprædikant ligesom ham. Nok på en anden måde, end Lars Pedersen måtte have tænkt sig. Lars ville rimeligvis have tilsluttet sig den mening, at "mormonerne var Guds straf over landene", så da Jens Hansen blev mormon og drog ud som mormonprædikant for at forkynde "den nye religion", må det have fyldt morbroderen med ret så blandede følelser.
- Jens Hansen var ligesom Lars Pedersen en karismatisk prædikant. Han omvendte og døbte næsten 100 fynboer som mormoner, og disse udvandrede til Utah og tog gerne børn og bedsteforældre med. I øvrigt missionerede Jens Hansen også en del i det sydlige Sjælland og vandt også her sine proselytter.
- Både Lars Pedersen og Jens Hansen var prædikanter i en brydningstid. Skønt så vidt forskellige i deres udtryk, synes det alligevel, som om det er de samme kræfter, der vækker dem og driver dem ud som prædikanter. De sprænger rationalismens rammer og søger troens store inderlighed, den, som munder ud i det evige liv.
- I "Brevbærer mellem Kristne" ses det synspunkt, at når Kristus er nedsteget til de døde, må det betyde, at man kan omvendes efter døden. Dette er jo netop mormonernes tankegang!
- Derfor stod Jens Hansen den 3. marts 1885 i templet i Logan i Utah. Jens Hansen var iført hvide klæder, da han lod sig glide ned i det store dåbsbassin, og med Jens Hansen som stedfortræder blev Lars Pedersen nu døbt som mormon!
- Jens Hansen døde i Utah i 1897– højt estimeret som patriark og viet til 14 koner.
