 Hi everyone, 

   It's been a great week. Dad got to Minnesota on the 6th, I got here the 7th and Natalie's mom, Nan, later that day, and the Colorado Humphries, including Brad, arrived on the morning  of the 8th. Friday was a pretty, sunny day. Lots of sledding down the hill and preparing for the baptism. One night we watched The Karate Kid (1984), and another night there was The Farming Game! The baptism was great and all went smoothly. Then after lunch, the guys went to a car show and the girls went to the Mall of America, where the highlight was Maddie getting her ears pierced!
Overnight we got about 5 inches of new snow. Church in the Apple Valley Ward was very nice. They had Ward Conference. We had a nice afternoon, but then it was time for Bradley, Ben, Lynsey, and Joseph to head back to Colorado. Now there's a rousing game of Sleeping Queens going on!
   That's all I have to say, but I do have one question: did James buy a tractor this week?
   Love you all!
   Mom/Johanna/Nana 


Oh heck! I forgot to tell you about our Friday night activity! Sam and Nat arranged for us all to do a shift at FMSC, Feed My Starving Children. It's a Christian organization which supplies food packs to people in many countries. We made packages to be sent to Sierra Leone. Thanks for the opportunity!

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...
