 Hi all,

   First, something I forgot to include last week: Joseph Haeberle's wife, Mary's dad, Richard Mauery, passed away, on Mary's birthday (Jan 18), just a few weeks after her mom and dad had moved in with them. Her dad had cancer and was on Hospice. Gran and I got to go to the service they had for him in Rexburg, and I think the Mobley's went to the one in Pullman. 
   Sam, thanks for the email last week and all the wonderful pictures! It's so fun to see the girls in their dance recital, the ice fishing, and I love what you, Natalie, and Bradley are doing with your "mud room." Lots of work, I'm sure, but you'll enjoy it so much. Glad to know you survived the cold!
   Moose and I just got back from taking a walk. The temperature is great, about 38 degrees, but the WIND is crazy strong! We headed south, which was a good thing; we got the worst of the trip over first, pushing into the wind. Then we turned around and headed north and it blew us home! :)
   Dad had a meeting in Boise on Friday, and then has more this Monday through Thursday. He had talked about coming home for the weekend, but I discouraged him . . . it just seems like too much time on the road. So he is spending time with Weavers and Hessings this weekend. I miss you, dear!
   Gran and I are going to watch Giant tonight. She hasn't seen it in years and has been wanting to. So it should be a fun evening. That's one I never tire of. 
   Yesterday afternoon, Gran and I went to see Grandma and had a really nice visit. I'll include a picture. 
   Last week we had our first planning meeting for our Community Sharing day, hosted by our Stake Relief Society, which will be April 13th. I invited several women from other churches in St. Anthony to be on the committee, and some were skeptical at first, but it turned out great! We have women representing the Catholic, Presbyterian, Four Square, and Church of Christ. There were a couple of others we had reached out to, but haven't heard back from yet. We've also got, Margie Harris, from the Family Crisis Center in Rexburg, who will be giving a presentation.
   Oh, my new ponderizing scripture for February is 1 Nephi 14:1. I especially like the part about Him "taking away . . . (our) stumbling blocks." That's something I could really use . . . I have so many though! :)
   Stephen, your time at the CTM went by quickly for me too! I look forward each week to hearing what you're doing.
   Love to you all; I hope it's a great week. Hopefully some of you will be able to write. 
    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...
