MY STORY

A. Who I am and why I embraced the Marvelous Work and a Wonder (MWAW)

My name is Alberto Bulseco, a Filipino and a retired public school teacher. I am a native of the Philippines residing at the southern tip of the largest island. I have a family with six children who are now all married. I am the only member of my family who follows the MWAW.

I was converted into the LDS Church in 1980 and was a consistent priesthood leader. I held prominent positions for about 35 years. But my impression of the LDS Church suddenly shifted in 2017 after my encounter with The Sealed Portion, the Final Testament of Jesus Christ. Since then, I stopped going to Church but my wife and children chose to remain active, except one.

I am submitting my story to the MWAW to let others know how The Sealed Portion and other books of the MWAW led me to a knowledge of Real Truth. This knowledge brought me great joy, contentment, and inner peace. Having learned the Real Truth of who I am and why I exist has led me to become a better person, who’s much happier and to live a more meaningful life.

The coming forth of The Sealed Portion was a dream fulfilled because I waited for it for more than 30 years. I was very surprised when I found out that this book was already in publication for thirteen years when I discovered it.

Nevertheless, having read this book made me glad knowing that the prophecy of Isaiah was now fulfilled concerning its coming to the world (Isaiah 29:11-19, 24 and BOM, 2 Nephi 27:6-11, 25-30). It also made me glad to know the fulfillment of the prophecy in 3 Nephi 28 of the Book of Mormon, concerning the advent of the Three Nephites and John the Beloved who were foretold to do a great and marvelous work among the Jews and Gentiles in the last days. Their identity, as proponents of the Marvelous Work and a Wonder (MWAW), excited me because this also fulfilled prophecy. The Bible and the Book of Mormon foretold of the day when the Father would proceed to do a great and marvelous work among the children of men. Through these Messengers, this work of the Father has finally commenced (Isaiah 29:11-14; 2 Ne 27: 11-26; 1 Ne 14:7 and 3 Ne 28:26-32).

The Sealed Portion confirmed these things, particularly the role that would be played by Christopher Nemelka in the marvelous work of the Father.

This prophesy on Christopher is now fulfilled as evidenced by the Real Illuminati recruiting him to become their Messenger, to translate The Sealed Portion and also to write their other books.

My discovery of the MWAW is truly a significant event in my life because I live in a day when the Real Truth is revealed and I have the opportunity to witness the work of the Father moving forward.

It is indeed a great privilege to be associated with the MWAW because it is the work of the Father where a True Messenger can lead me in the way of life and salvation.

B. A brief story of my life and my experiences as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

I was born to a poor farmer family and was raised in the Catholic faith. I am the oldest among three boys and two girls. We spent our growing years helping our parents in farm work when not in school. Life was difficult then for our family. It was a constant struggle to earn enough to meet basic needs. But despite our poverty, we children had dreams of obtaining a college education. We knew that our parents had no financial means to pursue this goal for us.

After completing high school, I took a one-year technical course so I could find a job to support the college education of my siblings. After a year, I worked as an automotive electrician in the City of Manila and used my income to support them in college with some help from my parents.After several years of sacrifice, all my siblings finished college. Two became engineers. I married after that.

After a year of my marriage, I decided to work in the Middle East leaving my wife and one-year-old baby girl for a while. After I returned home, I decided to continue my college education with the support of my wife who was, at that time, employed as a financial clerk in a government office.

Eventually, after three and a half years, I became a public elementary school teacher. I retired in 2013 after 22 years of public service. My wife also needed to retire in the same year because we were called to serve a full-time mission in the LDS Church.

Going back to my growing years, although my parents were good people, they were not too religious. They observed religious traditions, but they trusted more in superstitions. We went to church only on special occasions. I could not blame my parents for their shortcomings because my father only completed third grade in elementary and my mother only first grade.

As a young boy, I always believed in God. I even contemplated becoming a Catholic Priest. One day, while searching for toys inside the abandoned kitchen of my uncle, I saw a King James Bible among a garbage of discarded books. I picked up the book and brought it home. I was intrigued because I desired to know things about God. This feeling was motivated by two old men in their 70s who I observed frequently argued in front of my aunt’s house, holding their Bibles over their laps. Their voices raised to almost shouting because the other was partially deaf. I was curious about what they knew about God.

I kept this book while growing up but it was often a struggle to comprehend Old English expressions. My English vocabulary was limited by the basic American English I learned from school.

But what little I learned from the New Testament as a youth became a foundation that shaped my character and I became a strong believer of Christ. This Bible remained in my possession until I had my own family.

Upon reaching adulthood, my two brothers and I were dissatisfied with the religion lived by our parents. We tried for many years to find the true church but no religion appealed to us. It was not until after we were all married and had children that I found the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I met two Mormon missionaries in Manila while visiting my brother during the summer of 1980. These two young men made me curious, especially when I read the name of their Church printed in their nametags.

There was something in their aura that motivated me to listen to their message. Then I noticed a blue book held by one Elder, so I asked for it. I had a feeling that what they were going to teach me was already in that book. They were reluctant at first, but my insistence softened them. However, they required me to listen to a brief introduction about the book before handing it to me. My wife and I had to leave that day so I could not continue the discussions with them.

I felt something unusual, sort of an intense curiosity when I saw the Book of Mormon. The introduction the Elders taught kept me pondering about the book while in a bus on our way home.

Once at home, I excitedly opened the Book of Mormon. It didn’t take many pages to read to convince me that the book was from God. Logic whispered that if the book was from God, then the author must be a prophet of God and the Church he belonged to must be the true Church of God. Joy overwhelmed me because I thought I had I found the true Church of God.

For thirty days, I spent the most inspired reading I ever had in my life. It was the most marvelous experience I ever had.

This book not only reinforced my faith in Christ, it magnified my knowledge of the scriptures.

I immediately sought for Mormon missionaries to baptize me. Fortunately, there was a newly opened area of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in our town not far from where we lived. The missionaries were very surprised when I shared my experience with the Book of Mormon and asked them to baptized me.

I was 28 years old when I was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. There was only one reason why I joined this Church. I believed the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.

I shared the book to three of my siblings, which also led to their conversion. My parents also became LDS. not long after.

My testimony of the Book of Mormon inspired me to read all LDS scriptures in about two years, including the Bible. One feeling I could not explain was the intense desire to study the Bible after I read all other LDS scriptures. Two times I read the Bible cover to cover. During this period, my understanding was opened that I could also comprehend many of the words of Isaiah, including the words of the Apostle Paul that were difficult to understand during my years of randomly reading the Bible. I realized that there are great mysteries hidden in the Old Testament, presented through events in a symbolic manner.

My strong connection with the Book of Mormon and the thought that the LDS Church was true inspired me to devote much of my time serving in the LDS Church. We raised six children in the church, three boys and three girls. Three of them served full-time missions.

As a staunch Mormon pioneer in the area, I was instrumental in laying the foundation and growth of the LDS Church in nearby places and towns. However, despite the fact that members perceived me as a strong church member, no one knew I had concerns that frequently bothered me. Foremost was why general authorities never mentioned the sealed portion of the Book of Mormon and the Three Nephites and John the Beloved, in spite of these being recorded in the Book of Mormon. I was also disturbed by the absence of revelation since Brigham Young assumed leadership in the LDS Church. Another concern was why the Church was so centered on temple ordinances when none of these things were taught in the Book of Mormon by Christ and His prophets, not even in the New Testament.

I kept these questions privately, hoping that The Sealed Portion would one day be revealed through a prophet in the LDS church.

I spent almost half of my life to devoted service in the LDS Church. All this was because of my testimony of the Book of Mormon and my belief that the church was true.

My first major calling was as Branch President in 1983 and, at the same time, I taught Seminary and Institute Classes that lasted four years. Membership rapidly increased in the area and areas in nearby towns over the seven years, such that it was necessary to create a new district from a stake in 1987. I was called to serve as district president for this new district.

Then the district was split again to create another district in 1990. I served again as district president over this new district. This time for twelve years. Then I was released in 2002 to serve as counselor in the mission presidency. I served as counselors to five consecutive American Mission Presidents from 2002 to 2013. This calling required me to travel during weekends by land, by sea, and at times by air, fulfilling errands and joining mission presidents in leadership trainings and conferences.

Ten years of rubbing shoulders with American mission presidents improved my leadership skills and also improved my proficiency in English.

In 2013, my wife and I had to retire from our employment in the government to fulfill a major calling. I was called to serve as Mission President in the Philippines Cagayan de Oro Mission located in Mindanao, Philippines. I would be directing the work of around 170 or more missionaries spread over five stakes and five districts in that area.

This calling enabled me and my wife to enjoy new opportunities we had never experienced before. We were also privileged to visit historic places in Salt Lake City before attending the mission presidents’ seminar in the Provo MTC in June 2013. We joined 173 newly called mission presidents attending this seminar. This group was so far the greatest number of Mission Presidents called in a single batch in the history of the LDS Church.

Having served for thirty-three years in major callings in the church, I became a seasoned priesthood leader in the Church and my name became familiar to many church members and leaders in many stakes and districts.

But in 2017, a year after returning home from missionary service,  my concept of the LDS Church shifted suddenly. It happened after I discovered The Sealed Portion, the Final Testament of Jesus Christ.

C. My encounter with The Sealed Portion, the Final Testament of Jesus Christ

In January 2017, less than a year after my wife and I were released from serving a full-time mission, I was browsing YouTube when I stumbled upon a short video of a former LDS member influenced by a book called The Sealed Portion, The Final Testament of Jesus Christ. It caught my attention with much curiosity. I wondered if this was the sealed portion of the Book of Mormon I was waiting for. My first thought was that it might be another literature designed to discredit the LDS Church. But as I opened the link provided with the video clip, a video of Ida Smith appeared. I was stunned as I listened intently. Her testimony of The Sealed Portion was incredibly powerful. I thought this must be it, the real sealed portion of the Book of Mormon.

For the first time, I saw the picture of The Sealed Portion. I was surprised to see other books, too, which could be downloaded for free. I downloaded the PDF copies of the five available books with much excitement – The Sealed Portion, Human Reality, Sacred Not Secret, Without Disclosing My True Identity and 666, The Mark of America.

I immediately opened The Sealed Portion and read its preface. I was filled with wonder. I knew immediately it was the sealed portion of the Book of Mormon. I was very surprised to learn that The Sealed Portion was a continuation of the vision of the Brother of Jared in the Book of Ether and narrated by Moroni. It was the first time I read the name of Christopher Nemelka, the translator and proprietor of the book. My curiosity became more intense.

I jumped into the Appendix after I saw in the Table of Contents, the Story of Christopher, the Book of Lehi, the true account of the First Vision, and the authentic translation of the Fullness of the Gospel. I was overwhelmed with joy as I read these things, especially the Book of Lehi. Reading was like feasting upon sumptuous foods I never tasted before.

It was never a challenge to recognize and accept The Sealed Portion because of my close connection with the Book of Mormon and my familiarity with the scriptures. I was filled with joy because the coming forth of this book literally fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which provided a picture of the period and events when this book would be published (Isaiah 29 and BOM, 2 Nephi 27).

I cannot describe in words the marvelous feeling I experienced in reading The Sealed Portion. I was like a parched ground, quenched by a sudden downpour of rain that generated new life and beauty around. It was like joining a special banquet, partaking of the most delightful foods I ever tasted.

This experience reminded me of a wonderful dream I had many years ago as a new district president in the LDS Church. That was in 1988. In my dream, I saw myself standing at a large hall inside a huge building with no visible ends in two opposite directions. The roof was high and transparent so that I could see the sky. At my left, I saw numerous dining tables neatly draped in immaculate white cloth and orderly arranged into several rows. I wondered that I could not see the farthest table. The number seemed endless. The occasion was like a lavish banquet prepared for special guests. I saw luxurious foods laid over these tables. I observed that the foods became more sumptuous as one moved towards the next table. I wondered how delicious the foods could be over the tables that I could not see far beyond. I noticed several women dressed formally holding their children by the hand walking towards the tables to partake on the prepared meals. I wondered why I did not see any male adults.

Then my attention turned towards the opposite direction of the hall at my right. I saw a grand feast that went on where many guests were noisy and merrily partaking of unfamiliar foods. These cuisines were crocodiles being roasted and creeping creatures being grilled. They appeared very enticing to the taste because I could see the fats dripping down the heat and the aroma so appealing to the smell and taste that I was almost tempted to partake. But the thought came that these were unclean foods. So, I was prompted not to partake. The dream ended here.

The dream was almost realistic that I kept pondering on what it meant for days.

When I discovered The Sealed Portion and became associated with the MWAW, I remembered that dream again. If I interpret the dream as it applies now, I think the huge building represents the environment around me where I was given a choice to choose between good and evil or in my situation now, choosing between remaining as LDS member or embracing the Real Truth and the MWAW.

Those unclean foods represent the severe temptations of the flesh around me, including the persecutions and pressures from former friends and love ones.

The sumptuous foods laid over the immaculate-looking dining tables represent the Real Truth from the books published by the MWAW, including knowledge imparted by the True Messenger.

I had other meaningful dreams while a Church leader that either warned me or gave me confidence in facing challenges.

One very uplifting experience I had with The Sealed Portion happened when Moroni posed a challenge to readers of the book. This pertained to the interpretation of time periods described as Time, Times, and Half of Time mentioned by Daniel in the Old Testament.

Moroni wrote in The Sealed Portion, “And now, I will give unto you my final words concerning the time, and times and half of time…
For if ye truly had the Spirit to be with you, then ye would know these things. And if ye would listen to the prophets who have been sent unto you, then ye would know these things… ” (67:81-82)

Moroni added, “And if ye are wise and follow the Spirit and pray for an understanding of these things, then ye shall know the time that the Lord hath given for all things, even ye can know of the year in which the Lord shall come in the glory that the Father hath given unto him.” (68:59)

I was intrigued by this challenge because I have been laboring for years to know the interpretation of these time periods mentioned in Daniel 12:6-9. Because Moroni provided clues where to base a calculation, it was no longer difficult to put a value over the other time periods to create a timeline. I discovered that the first “Time” period occurred when God covenanted with Abraham. This period was the dispensation of what the scriptures describes as the gospel of Abraham. The timeline ended in the year 2145 which is the end of the “Half Time” period. This end time period represents the completion of the work of the Father pertaining to the dispensation of the fullness of the gospel in the plan of salvation.

After I became Facebook friends with some MWAW followers in 2018, I noticed a circular logo they posted showing the year 2145 inscribed. Then I read this statement from one of the blogs of the Real Illuminati:

“What if we started out by saying that the earth on which humanity exists, and the solar system in which planet Earth exists, will be destroyed on June 16, 2145, if the human race does not come together and create peace and harmony among themselves.”

I was elated because my calculation was correct. Added to my delight was knowing the meaning of the 1,290 days and 1,335 days that were also recorded in the last three verses of Daniel 12. Moroni also provided clues to unlock their meaning. What a great mystery unveiled!

To see these hidden mysteries unfolded through The Sealed Portion is truly a marvelous experience. Truly this book is a marvelous work and a wonder because it also reveals all things from the foundation of the world to the end thereof as foretold in 2 Nephi 27:7,10 of the Book of Mormon.

It took me several weeks to complete reading The Sealed Portion.

Before I commenced reading the other books, I read The Sealed Portion one more time.

It took me several months to read all the books that were available for downloads from the MWAW. Reading these books was like embarking on an adventure into a wonderland. During this period, I never got tired reading. Sleeping and eating were often distractions. Fortunately, this time, I could spend as much time as I needed in reading because my wife and I were already pensioners, no longer worried about working for a living.

D. Why I support Christopher as a True Messenger

The first time I heard Christopher speak, I was immediately in tune with him because his words were like a familiar voice. In his blogs and podcasts, he often quoted scriptures that were already familiar to me. Many of these were even my favorites. His frequent counsel to offer a broken heart and a contrite spirit was already a virtue I was practicing to live since I read the same admonition from Christ to the surviving Nephites when He visited them after His resurrection. This is recorded in BOM, 3 Nephi 9:19-20. That if they did offer a broken heart and a contrite spirit to him, Jesus would baptize them with fire and with the Holy Ghost.

I never doubted Christopher’s claim as a True Messenger. The first reason is, the Real Illuminati recruited Christopher to translate The Sealed Portion and to be their spokesperson and writer of their books.

The second reason is, Moroni mentioned in seven chapters of The Sealed Portion the special work to be played by both Christopher and Joseph Smith in the marvelous work of the Father in the latter days.

The third reason is, there are specific scriptures pointing to Christopher Nemelka as a True Messenger. He is described in BOM, 3 Nephi 21:8-11 as the “marred” servant appointed to declare the great and marvelous work of the Father to the world when the work of the Father would commence “unto the fulfilling of the covenant which He had made unto His people who are of the house of Israel”. This scripture supports Isaiah’s prophecy in Chapter 52:13-15 depicting a Servant who was “marred’ who would sprinkle many nations with the truth which Kings shall see, hear and consider but would shut their mouths.

The fourth reason is, Joseph Smith appointed Hyrum Smith to continue his work in case he died. The official and authorized biography of Joseph Smith entitled, Without Disclosing my True Identity provides a detailed account on what really happened in Carthage Jail where Joseph and Hyrum were incarcerated with John Taylor and four others. When asked who would translate The Sealed Portion in case he died, Joseph answered, “There is no man upon this earth to whom this important assignment would be entrusted other than Hyrum. Turning to Hyrum and taking his right hand, he said, ‘One day it shall be you who will finish the mission that I could not during my lifetime. It was during my conversation with our Christ in his first appearance to me that I was informed of your part in this work’.”
(WDMTI, pp. 16-17)

This is an evidence that Christopher is the incarnate of Hyrum Smith, fulfilling that mandate today.

Christopher, besides being a True Messenger, is also a Seer because he possessed the Urim and Thummim like Joseph Smith and the Seers of old. Possessing these sacred objects constituted a prophet and Seer anciently.

A sign of his sacred call is exhibited on how Christopher delivers his message. His style in delivering his message is unorthodox, often offensive to his audience.
He is as the Real Illuminati describes as “often uncouth and impetuously brazen. He does not appear as one who the world might expect to be called to such an important work.” This is the reason why Christopher is hated by many. But his seemingly unbridled character and unorthodox style in delivering his message must have a purpose. It determines who truly are the good ones and truth seekers and who the hypocrites and wicked ones are. His wisdom, sincerity, boldness, his indomitable spirit and fearless character in confronting wickedness, all show the mark of a True Messenger. He is no different from the prophets of old like Zenos and Zenoch, Abinadi, Samuel the Lamanite, and Ammon in the Book of Mormon, who declared the truth without fear of death.

Christopher speaks confidently and tirelessly from the heart, before audiences, without traditional formalities. He is unlike self-proclaimed prophets and gurus who project pretended holiness and righteousness when addressing audiences, with prepared notes, even reading scripted talks during conferences.

Confirming his call as a True Messenger is the description of him by the Real Illuminati pointing him as the one referred to in the Book of Revelation 14:14 “… one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.”

E. The blessings I enjoy in associating with the MWAW

My association with the MWAW enabled me to acquire immense knowledge of Real Truth.

Knowing the Real Truth about human existence, who we are and why we exist brought tremendous joy into my life. Knowing about my True Self connected only to my mortal self and the reality of multiple incarnations are new things that made me marvel. Knowledge of the Real Truth made my life more serene, more meaningful and worth living.

Knowing that I now belong to a society founded by True Messengers who can lead me to life and salvation brought me complete satisfaction, fulfillment and contentment.

The greatest blessing I obtained in associating with the MWAW is knowing much of the hidden mysteries of “God” and their meaning. Foremost of these is the unfolding of the symbolisms and metaphors imbedded in the Temple Endowment and the Book of Revelation.

These things became unto me a well of living water reminiscent of the words of Jesus to the Samaritan woman: “But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.” (John 4:14)

This provided the spiritual energy I needed to live more fully the code of humanity.

Now, I am fully content in life, full of hope, happier and more at peace because of the Marvelous Work and a Wonder, the source of Real Truth that enlightened my understanding, enabling me to know things which eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor yet entered into the heart of the common man.

I know now the reality of this revelation from Joseph Smith, Jr, the predecessor of Christopher:

D&C 76:5 For thus saith the Lord—I, the Lord, am merciful and gracious unto those who fear me, and delight to honor those who serve me in righteousness and in truth unto the end.

6 Great shall be their reward and eternal shall be their glory.

7 And to them will I reveal all mysteries, yea, all the hidden mysteries of my kingdom from days of old, and for ages to come, will I make known unto them the good pleasure of my will concerning all things pertaining to my kingdom.

10 For by my Spirit will I enlighten them, and by my power will I make known unto them the secrets of my will—yea, even those things which eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor yet entered into the heart of man.
