Marvelous Work and a Wonder® Testimonials

Rebecka Lee Franklin

Update May 20, 2025:

In March of 2014 my husband found this work and introduced it to me.  My original story on how that happened is at the end of this, but what I want to say now is that if I had been told back then a fraction of what I have learned in the last year or so, I would have likely rejected all of it.  “Line upon line. Precept on precept” as the saying goes.  That was the only way I was going to be able to accept the new concepts that at first I struggled with but once properly explained, made complete sense.

I was raised LDS but I did not know anything about the Book of Mormon.  I didn’t even read it until I was 24 and pregnant with my oldest child.  I loved church history and thought I knew a lot about the subject.  I didn’t!  It was the book Without Disclosing My True Identity that started opening my mind to Real Truth.  I had not even read the Sealed Portion all the way through until December of last year.  It had been a while since I had started it so I started over again.  I am so glad I did.  It was very much written to address the modern social issues that we are seeing today, including Gender Dysphoria, something that I didn’t know at the time that my daughter was experiencing to a certain degree.  There were little hints here and there, but when she met her husband at college I figured she had worked through it.

A couple months ago she texted me saying she had something to tell me, so I called her.  She was nervous and did not come out and say it, but from across the room I heard my son in law shout, “Apparently I’m gay now!” which was his goofy way of expressing to me his support of his wife, soon to be husband.  If I still had that LDS mindset I would have been devastated, but instead all I could do was laugh because of the way he shouted out the news!  If Real Truth did not make so much sense I would not have been able to deal with having my only daughter tell me she was “switching teams.”  But it does make sense! And it is beautiful!

One more thing that happened a few weeks ago that humbled me.  This work is extremely important to me.  I thought that I had messed up so bad that I was going to lose access to some of the incredible information that has transformed my life for the better.  So I wrote the following letter.  When I wrote it, I was intending it as an apology and an explanation, but not an excuse, as to why I do stupid things.  By the time I completed it I realized that I wrote it to myself to acknowledge that I am flawed, but that it is ok that I am.  That is why I am here!  I will alway strive to be a better person, but I can’t deny that I have issues. But being aware of the purpose for all of this has made me so much more patient to those that I interact with everyday and much more patient with myself.

Since writing this out, I have been in a great mood.  I have made some decisions that have brought me relief and actually made me happy!  This work makes me happy!  It brings me peace!  I can equate writing this thing about confronting my ego to connecting to a mortal experience.  I see how important it is not to have these negative thoughts in a perfect world and how important it is to play them out somewhere else.  I wrote out my negative thoughts and was able to balance my brain through it.  I am sure my brain will get out of wack again, and again, but it is ok!  That’s the plan, and it is a wonderful plan!  When I was done writing it I felt like I had no need to share it because the purpose of it, to make myself feel better, had been accomplished. But I thought I would share it anyway just incase it might be helpful to someone.  So here it is:

Confronting my own ego.

I have always had a problem with self-confidence and doubt. I also have big issues with pride. I have always felt a need for vindication and to have my feelings validated. It has been the cause of a lot of contention and strife. I did not recognize this in myself until I had been following the Marvelous Work and a Wonder^® for a long time. I have known deep down for a while, but have only recently been admitting it out loud.

Learning Real Truth^® so that I can try to figure out how to overcome these issues has been incredible, but also challenging. I have not figured out what makes me happy in life yet, but I’ve had a lot of experience with what does not make me happy.

I am, however, figuring out a lot about why I am here on Earth, having this mortal experience. Besides the things I mentioned above, I also continue to value my husband and my kids. I often think about how glad I am that I am not going through this mortality alone. But I need to start letting my kids figure some things out on their own. I have taken on some stresses to save my husband and my kids from having to deal with things. I have always been willing to do that, but realize now that I was not doing them any favors.

As for my other family and community relationships, I am doing my best to not be involved in anyone’s life because I also have a problem with giving my opinion. I like to be right; that is, until I figured out how wrong I was. Everyone wants to be right and no one likes being wrong. And they especially don’t want me to be right. They just want me to be agreeable.

I have allowed myself to be taken advantage of a lot because I haven’t wanted to disappoint anyone. I just wanted to be accepted and to fit in. It has only caused stress and burdens on me. When I started saying no, I could feel the problems it caused and saw how the relationships deteriorated and faded away when I wasn’t fulfilling their expectations of me.

I had an experience once that saddened me very deeply. I understood what was meant, and over time I came to fully understand it through my own experience. The words “I can’t care” were hard to hear at the time they were spoken to me—but not just to me, to a room of people—but it felt directed at me. It brought me to tears, which I desperately did not want to show. Not being able to care, because of caring too much. Because of wanting to fix the thing that makes a person, or people, hurt. Walking away from it all so that you are not tempted to “fix” things for anyone. Not even wanting to know about it. I get that now. I did try to fix someone and I only caused more problems.

I hate money. I hate that it has such a hold on my life. Not just mine. It affects my husband and my kids too. I have made a lot of mistakes and have racked up a lot of debt. Paychecks are sometimes gone before they even get deposited. Some months we do fine and have a little extra. Some months we struggle to figure out how we are going to make it work. Money just frustrates me, because my financial problems are nothing compared to so, so many others. I might struggle to keep a roof over our heads, but at least I have a roof. And I know how The Humanity Party^®’s Plan can work and would solve poverty if it was implemented.

As much as I want to think that I am a good person and a good supporter of this Work, the truth is that I have not been. I just can’t seem to figure out how to fully overcome all these things that I know I have a problem with. I constantly mess up. I try so hard, and I start to feel like I am getting it, then something happens and I stumble some more.

HOWEVER!

The Real Truth^® that I have learned so far is helping me to understand it all. I have not been a humble person. But writing this all out has helped heal my broken heart. There is no way I would have had the courage to admit, write, or post it if I had not been able to have my self-confidence improve. In the past, every time I stumbled, I would just want to go hide until it blew over. Not this time. I want to face my ego head on.

I don’t want to fit in anymore. My desire to be accepted and be a part of something has only blinded me to the fact that I am deceiving myself and denying who I am and how I feel. There is only one “group” that I feel comfortable in. But I also know that separating ourselves into groups is part of humanity’s problem, and I know that they know that too, which is part of why I like them! But I am done with allowing myself to be manipulated into something I don’t want to do.

Lately, I have not liked being asked my opinion. I have an opinion, but I no longer want to give it. I usually don’t know enough about something to offer an opinion on it anyway, and I don’t feel any peace when there is disagreement.

My pride is still there, but it is fading. I have cared a lot less about what my extended family and the community I live in thinks about me. They just don’t understand and I don’t expect them to. The more I mind my own business, the more they stay out of mine, and the nicer I can be to everyone that I deal with from day-to-day because of that. I am not here to fix anything for anyone anymore. I listen to people talk about their problems many times a day every day and my heart goes out to them. But I can’t care. I will always listen, but I won’t get caught up in anyone else’s issues. Lately, I just smile at people and I don’t ask questions. I just listen, and that has made me feel more peace.

There is no way I would have been able to figure any of this out on my own. I needed guidance. I need to learn from the only person with the ability to teach these Real Truth^®s effectively. Even though I am still a work in progress, I have seen remarkable changes in where I am now, from where I was before this Marvelous Work and a Wonder^® came into my life. I have needed the sharp two-edged sword that can facilitate humility, if one will allow it to. I have always benefited from the lessons taught in that manner, especially when it hurts emotionally. In order to rebuild on a solid foundation, something has to be torn apart so that it can get rebuilt properly.

I have absolutely no doubt about the Marvelous Work and a Wonder^® or about The Humanity Party^®. I have been given too much empirical evidence of its veracity that has shown me without question that this Work and its messenger are exactly what they claim to be. I owe this work everything.

Sincerely,

******************************

At the time that the Marvelous Work and A Wonder came into my life, I had just gone through 4 years of heartache starting with the death of my husband’s little sister. A year later, I lost my mother to brain cancer. I became the caregiver to my father with Parkinson’s and then my sister became a widow shortly after losing mom. My marriage had been falling apart and I was checking out because of feeling so overwhelmed with having to take care of everyone else. I was a horrible mother because of all that was happening. Then my dad passed away.

After losing my dad, it was time to turn things around. After receiving a little bit of an inheritance and knowing how miserable my husband was in his job, I agreed to let him quit so that he could do some repairs on our house. How he found the Work is his story to tell, but what I can tell you from my own observations was that my husband Jon, who could at times be harsh and angry, was suddenly nice and agreeable. After 3 weeks of this new behavior, he finally told me that he had found the Sealed Portion of the Book of Mormon on the internet.

My reaction was not so nice. I decided that I had to prove to Jon that he was being deceived. So I started looking into things myself. I again found so much negativity. There was so much negative information out there. I found information about an old lady that I thought had been swindled out of her money and I told my husband about it. He said he had seen it too and asked me just to pick a book and just read that. If I still thought he was being deceived he would leave me with the kids and still hand over his paychecks, but he would not stay if there was going to be contention.

That scared me. I felt that I had a lot to lose. What was it that was so important, more important than me, the kids, or our eternal salvation? I was scared. I didn’t want to lose my sealings in the temple to my family. I decided to watch the video that Jon had found about Ida Smith, the “little old lady that (I thought) was swindled out of her money.” I found that she was no victim. She was intelligent. She was cognitive. She was fully aware of what she was doing and she had no regrets. She was a strong woman that was not being taken advantage of in any way. Then I realized that all the things I had been reading were so full of hate. It was time for me to look at the books for myself with a softer heart.

As I started soaking in all this new information, I started to realize that there was no hate or negativity in any of it, and the most thrilling part of all was that it made sense! It answered all of my questions that I didn’t dare ask my church. It offered solutions to the problems in the world that made sense! Solutions that will work were explained clearly so that even I could understand them! At a time when I felt completely defeated by life, this gave me hope!

The pain of the heartaches that I have felt in the past are no longer painful. My patience, empathy, kindness, understanding, perspectives, and humility has grown. I have self-reflected a lot and realized just how prideful I have been, and how much I believed that I was always right. I had my pride confronted recently; and as much as it pained me in the moment, it was exactly what I needed to truly be set free of the rest of the burdens that I felt in my life. The hardest thing I have ever done in my life was to admit that I have been so wrong about so many things. But once I allowed my heart to be broken in this way, I was able to gain strength from it. My heart is no longer broken. It has only grown with love for those whom I once felt had wronged me. I can love and accept anyone now without having to agree with or like what they do. They are just doing the best they can with the information and life they have been given, as am I.

I still have a lot to learn when it comes to Real Truth^®, but the more I learn, the better I feel! This Marvelous Work and A Wonder^® has given me understanding about things I didn’t think I would ever understand in this life. It has helped me learn to love and forgive and feel peace about things I thought I would never get over. The Humanity Party^® has given me hope in a world that seems to be beyond fixing.
