Marvelous Work and a Wonder® Testimonials

My name is Burke Bluemel. I was born Jan 1963, in Rock Springs, Wyoming. We attended the LDS church up until the death of my mother. I was ten years old at the time of her death. After that, our family stopped attending the LDS church.

I grew up in Mt. View, Wyoming on three acres of land. We had horses and a jersey cow. It was my job to water and feed the animals and milk the cow.

I enjoyed going to school to playing with the other kids. I like sports. I was pretty athletic as a kid. I sucked at reading, writing, and arithmetic. I was assigned with the group of kids that had trouble reading. Also one year I had to go to a speech therapy class. It was challenging for me to pronounce certain words…it still is.

I started drinking and smoking weed at a very young age (10 or 11).  By the time I turned 18, I managed to get arrested two times for driving while under the influence of alcohol. Public intoxication, along with a stay at the Evanston State Hospital for the mentally insane. 😁

Shortly after I graduated from high school, I was kicked out of the house. I moved in with my older brother. He owned a single-wide trailer. He influenced me to start investigating religion again. One night while sleeping, I had a dream. When I woke up in the morning, I had what you might call a “come to Jesus moment.”  After that, my self-esteem improved. I was told God exists and loves me.  Unfortunately, over time, that feeling of love faded away into to the sunset (a distant memory).

Later on, we had to move. My brother and I got caught stealing electricity from the empty trailer space next door to us. The police gave us the option of going to jail or living at the Salvation Army in Ogden, Utah. We choose the Salvation Army.

After about 6 months of living there, I had enough and packed my bags and left. I took a bus to Salt Lake City, Utah. I started working at temp agencies. Eventually I landed a permanent job assembling cabinets for Olympus Cabinet Co. I rented a room up in the Avenues in Salt Lake City. I decided to quit drinking and smoking and started attending the church again.

I set a goal to go on a mission. I was 21 or 22 years old at the time. I only had my certificate for baptism, so I had some hoops to jump before I could go. But I made it. I turned 24 in the MTC (Missionary Training Center). I didn’t think they were going to let me go. I had a heavy petting session with my Hispanic girlfriend a few days before I was scheduled to enter the missionary training center in Provo, but the bishop let it slide. I was sent to the Missouri, St. Louis, mission. It was a lot of fun, except for the times I was in trouble for breaking the rules.

I smoked a cigarette with an investigator once and had a little fling with a married member of the church. She snitched on us. I got an emergency transfer and was demoted from Zone Leader to junior companion…the joys of life. 🙂

I served from 1987-89. Ezra T. Benson was the prophet of the church at that time. Matter of fact, he spoke at my missionary farewell. Ain’t I hot shit? 😝

After my mission, I decided to go to school to become a nurse. I attended the Salt Lake Community College. I earned a certificate of nursing as a licensed practical nurse (low paid nurse). I basically did the same thing as a registered nurse…for half the pay. 😁

I met my wife at a church dance. We got married in the Salt Lake temple. After 11 years and five kids, we decided to call it quits; or should I say, I decided to call it quits.

Around 1999, I started reading Max Skousen’s books. One thing lead to another and I lost interest in attending the LDS church. I began smoking weed again. I took off my temple garments and started enjoying Sundays again. 😀

While working at Midtown Manor, I meet Leslie Barrett. One thing lead to another. You know how it goes…

In the fall of 2004, my uncle called and told me he found a book online that I might be interested in reading. It was called The Sealed Portion.

I tracked it down and downloaded a copy. It forever changed my life.

I did as the book suggested and sought Christopher out. Matter of fact, Leslie and I attended that early meeting in the basement of the Library in downtown Salt Lake City, UT, where Julie introduced him as a “prophet.” Everyone stood up when he entered the room.

Over the years, I participated in most of the public events and a few of the private ones as well, but not many, because I couldn’t be trusted. My Lucifer was out of control. Still is and always will be.

I had the privilege of living directly above Sheri and Christopher for a short time, but I got myself kicked out. Not once, but twice! 😄

I was asked to stop associating with Robbie Pace, but I continued to answer the phone when he called me. Also, I continued to drink and smoke weed and pursue money-making schemes on the Internet, instead of going back to work as a nurse, like I was asked.

Do you think (in my pride) I would do what another person asks me to do? Nope, I’m a God. No one tells me what to do! … Not even a True messenger!

P.S. What a fool, I am!

P.S. It’s all good!

The supporters at Garden Park ganged up and kicked me out the second time. Believe me, I had it coming though. I was totally out of control. But I must admit, I was having the time of my life.

… The spirit of god like a fire was burning within me.

I became homeless in the winter of 2016 for a short time. But not really, because I had a nice cozy warm car to live in and money in the bank. I was a bit dangerous though, because the fear of god and man had departed from me. I was attracted to dangerous environments. I would seek them out. It was exciting to me. Luckily, I had some people to lead me, guide me and walk beside me, during this crazy time of my life. Actually, they probably saved my life or at least from getting seriously hurt.

I’m happy to report that I’m currently alcohol and weed free. I even gave up the cigarettes … hooray! I’m working on stabilizing my weight now. I have a ways to go.

Anyways,

I’m grateful for Christopher and the Real Illuminati for taking the time to help me get back on the straight and narrow.

They are true messengers. I would exhort you to give strict heed to their council and teachings and they will lead you in the way of life and salvation.
