Humphries Family History

  Dear everybody,    Thank you, Ben, for the email and all the wonderful pictures! You and your family have had some great adventures recently and I'm so glad you have picture to go along with them!     Well, what a difference a week makes, huh? Last week when I sent out this email, I had no idea what was about to happen, or that I would get to see some of you before the week was up.    On Monday afternoon at work, I got a call from Aunt Lynne, letting me know that young Chandler had died. He had been living with her, so that's where the police came to notify next of kin. After contacting Jennifer, Chandler, and her own kids, she called me. So I called Uncle John first, then Gran and all of you. I left work early, came home and got Gran and we went to Aunt Lynne's house. It was sweet to see big Chandler's father-in-law, sitting on the couch talking with Sterling. The first of many former in-law connections this week that could have been awkward, b...

  Hello everybody,    Another good and busy week. Gran is on her way to Meridian with Jocie, Janie, Jim, and Jennifer, to attend Uncle John's wife, Annie's United States Citizenship ceremony tomorrow, in Nampa. They'll stay at Hessing's tonight and be home tomorrow night. I think they're having supper tonight with Hessing's and Weaver's. Thanks to both families for making them all feel welcome.     Stephen, you must be busy with work and mission preparations. Please keep us informed on how it's all going for you. This is very exciting for us all!    Dad's knee is healing well; the two incisions are looking good, and we can remove the stitches in a few days. There has been very little swelling and he says "no pain." It's the best surgery result he's had on that knee!    Yesterday, Gran and I went to Lexi Christensen's bridal shower. She and Jordan Hanks are getting married next month. Then last night, we had Keaton Prisbrey over ...

  Hello to all of you! Sorry to jump the gun a little bit Mom, but I really want to have a good solid habit of sending emails on Sunday before Stephen leaves, and things are quiet at the moment, so I'm doing it now. Speaking of Stephen leaving! Thank you all for watching him open his mission call!!! It was SO nice knowing you were all able to see it as it was happening. It meant a lot to me. And I'll go ahead any give you all the mission contact info we have already.  His mission email address is  stephen.mobley@myldsmail.net .  His MTC mailing address is: Elder Stephen James Mobley Brazil Londrina Mission Brazil Missionary Training Center Rua Padre Antonio D'Angelo, 121 Casa Verde CEP 02516-040 Sao Paulo - SP Brazil BUT!!! It says that the MTC will NOT accept any packages and that any packages sent there will be returned. Letters only. The address of the mission home, where we can send letters and packages until he gives us a better address to use, is:  Elder S...

  Hi everybody,    A quiet Sunday afternoon here, very nice. I just met the people who bought Jim and Stella Dunn's house. Rick and Jane Hildebrandt (sp?) are from Washington State, near Portland. They have had a vacation home in St. Anthony for several years which they use to access the dunes. Now they'll be a little closer and are selling the place in St. Anthony. But we'll only see them during warm weather months. I think they're about Dad's and my age . . . hard to tell. They have two grown children and 2 grandkids. Jane is getting a degree in computer (something) through BYU-I online. I'm not sure what he does, but I think he may be retired. She says they team teach the 4 year old class in their Ward in Washington, but I don't get the feeling he'll be attending while they're here. Who knows . . . they're both very nice.     We'll all be awaiting Stephen's mission call, hopefully this week! Please let us know asap!     I should hear f...
