Marvelous Work and a Wonder® Testimonials

Hello. My name is Jean Crystal Stephensen. I grew up in Brigham City, Utah in a big family. I found this work in 2010 while taking care of my elderly mom.

I started reading the free books online. The first one was Human Reality—Who We Are and Why We Exist! My friend told me about The Sealed Portion and, because I hadn’t read the Book of Mormon growing up, I didn’t understand where it fit in. So I read through Human Reality—Who We Are and Why We Exist! Then, I read the 666 book, then the temple book, and then it was time for The Sealed Portion. That was such a huge book to get through. I was able to get a copy of it from my friend who told me about it. I read The Sealed Portion and the Book of Mormon.

I remember while I was reading all these books, it just kept coming to me: “It’s simple. It’s very simple. Love yourself first, with all of your heart, mind, and strength; and love everyone else the same.” Over and again, reminding me to love myself, gave me hope of the simplicity of the truth, or the key to this life for me.

As time went on, another book came out—the Joseph Smith book. It was so powerful. I love that book. I read it and reread it. Every time I do, it seems like these books remind me just how simple life can be. Reading them fills me with such peace. The truth is simple.

Life went on. Relationships come and go. Things got really heavy and hard, and I wanted to leave this world. Even though I had the truth, even though I had all these books, I had not put them into use. I had had the truth, and yet I still wanted to leave this world.

There was a time that I had planned to take my life and leave this world. It just kept coming to me that I needed to read the 666 book; so I did. It opened my eyes again about pride and how I wanted to do things all on my own and I needed help from friends and family.

I had been through a lot in my life and mentally, I just couldn’t do it anymore. I guess you could say, “bearing one another’s burdens.” It’s kinda hard to allow that to happen sometimes, for me at least—opening myself up to allow someone to serve me, as I serve them.

I found that surrendering to what, is to become like a little child: submissive, meek, humble, and willing to submit to whatever happens, while choosing love through it all.

This work is a Marvelous Work and a Wonder^®. I marvel at how putting it into action in my life has changed it for the better, making me a better person and loving myself. If I choose to show love to all people.

I hope every day to be kinder and to show more love for myself and for everyone around me.

I leave my email and phonenumber.

Have a great day.  😊💗
