Hi everybody,
   Lynsey had her birthday a few days ago, I tried to call, but didn't get to talk to her...so Happy birthday, Lynsey!  We're so happy you're in our family! 
   Naomi sent us the most wonderful little package in the mail. It was full of Origami creations she has made. I've attached a picture of them, so you all can see. Thank you, Naomi; you do beautiful work!
   I turned names in to the Bishop last Saturday, but it seems to be taking a while to get my counselors and secretary called. They let me know yesterday that it will be the Sunday after Conference before we are put in. I'm kind of eager to get started, but at the same time...I can wait!
   We had a major dust storm yesterday. Fremont County had to close some roads. And during Gayle Rumsey's funeral procession to the cemetery, some of the cars couldn't see the cars in front of them, and got lost. They all made it in the end. I forgot to tell you that Gayle Rumsey passed away. He was a good friend of Grandpa's. He had received a heart transplant over 20 years ago. He is Scott's and John's oldest brother.
    Grandpa's sister Leah's husband, Ervin Hill, passed away too. His funeral was yesterday as well. Dad said that he didn't know Aunt Leah's and Uncle Ervin's family very well. With Leah being from a family of 11, and Ervin from a family of 12, I guess there were too many cousins to get to know really well.
    Dad gave me a fitbit for my birthday. I'm loving it!  I've only lost a few pounds so far, but it helps me be so much more aware of what I'm eating, and how much, or how little I'm doing.  Thank you, Sweetie!
    Nothing else coming to mind right now. But I love you all so much!  I can't wait for Conference next weekend! 
Love, Mom/Johanna/Nana

Happy Easter Sunday to you all!     Conference has been wonderful, as usual. I hope that you will have the chance to watch or read the talks, if you didn't get to hear them today. I often find myself thinking of many of you as I listen to the talks. Today was no different. And especially you, Ben, when Bishop Causse, told that his family hadn't been to the Eiffel Tower, even after living near it for 20 years!  What things do we live near, that others would travel far to see? And more to his point, what blessings or opportunities do we have, that others only dream of?    Yesterday, Grandpa told us about a dream he had...at least I think it was a dream. He sometimes seems confused, but when I mentioned that he might feel confused, he said "I feel like I'm in a daze." Anyhow, he said that he was "greeting the men, as they came into the coffee shop." Then the next thing he knew, he was telling them that it was time for conference, and that "we all ...

Dear everybody,    First of all...Happy birthday, Ellen!  Grandpa and I were camping in Island Park, and didn't get you called!  We hope you had a wonderful day.  12 years old!  Oh, my goodness, that's hard to believe!    It seems that many of you are away from home right now, or just were, or are about to be... :) I haven't kept track of everyones plans, but I look forward to hearing all about this weeks activities!     Dad and I had planned to leave for our camping trip on Thursday afternoon, but a couple of other things made us put it off until Friday morning. Dad went to the debriefing meeting for the Emergency Communications drill we were involved in last Saturday. It was at the Stake Center about a mile east of the Rexburg Temple.  And I went to a viewing for Imelda Vargas. Below is a picture of her and her mother, Rosa, which was taken several years ago. Imelda was 40, and had an aneurysm in her brain, quite unexpecte...

  Hello everyone!    Well, 10% of our family had a birthday on Thursday, so that's a pretty big deal, I think! Ben, Bradley, and Leona, we hope that each one of you had a wonderful birthday!     We enjoyed having Shelby here so much, but the week went by too quickly. Grandpa, Gran and I each enjoyed our time with her.  On Saturday (a week ago), she and I went to a matinee and then had lunch with Beth and Hannah and did some shopping. Then Sunday afternoon, Shelby and I met her folks and Lucas in Twin Falls so she could go home. Grandpa wasn't able to come with us as he had planned because of the big fire in Fremont and Clark Counties. But it's finally out now.     A follow-up on my letter from a couple of weeks ago; Grandpa, Shelby, and I had started watching White Fang, but it was pretty upsetting in a few places and we decided to turn it off. Just a warning for more sensitive viewers.      LaRue Hunter Nelson (Dr. Milton...
