Humphries Family History

  Dear everybody,    We had the Bath Fitters come and install a walk in shower in the bathroom on Thursday.  They did it all in one day and we're very pleased with how it turned out. I'll include a picture.    Yesterday, Dad got the snow tires put on the car.  I went to the Stake Center to help with handing out the Turkeys, Hams and Yams, to be prepared for the Community Thanksgiving dinner they have at the Junior High each year. Then Dad and I did some work in the yard, put some things away, got the snow blower out, and covered the trailer with a 20' by 30' tarp.  Dad's pretty clever with how he makes that happen.Then afterward, we went to Rexburg and saw  Ford v Ferrari.   We both really enjoyed it and are grateful to Ben, Joseph, Sam, and Bradley, for recommending it. They had seen it earlier in the day.      After Sacrament meeting today, I went to work for 4 1/2 hours, working with the House Supervisors.  Then Da...

  He everybody!    Dad and I just watched the Children and Youth presentation by Elder Gong and others.  It was awesome!  It makes me wish I was a youth, or at least a youth leader.  Even though I'm not either one of those, I want to get the literature and download the apps and participate the program as much as possible. I hope that you each got to watch it too.     I went with Dad to his appointment to see Dr. Eric Barton, a podiatrist. Dr. Barton is very knowledgeable and was great at explaining and diagnosing Dad's foot pain. He also did an ultrasound of his feet and recommended some stretches that he says Dad should do every night and morning for ever!  He could see that Dad had been dealing with a lot of pain and  just needed some relief, so he gave him a cortisone shot, which has made a huge difference . . . but of course, the underlying problem is still there and it will take a long time for it to resolve. But it's nice that...

  Hi All, This is the show that we saw in London.  It's being played in movie theaters here in the US for two days in December.  We're going to go on the 11th, but Lynsey and Joseph don't know that so don't tell them if you happen to talk to them. :) I know it's playing in Boise and Idaho Falls.  I'm guessing Spokane will have a theater that shows it and I'm sure Minnesota will have a few.    If you can see it I highly recommend it!!  Ben TICKETS NOW ON SALE IN US CINEMAS DECEMBER 8 & 11   BOOK NOW Seen by over 120 million people worldwide,  LES MISÉRABLES  is undisputedly one of the world’s most popular musicals. Coinciding with its  35th  triumphant year in London’s West End, Cameron Mackintosh produced a spectacular sold-out staged concert version at the Gielgud Theatre featuring an all-star cast including Michael Ball, Alfie Boe, Carrie Hope Fletcher, Matt Lucas and John Owen Jones. Now cinema audiences can experience t...

 Dear all,    In Come, Follow Me this week it asked: "Can you think of an object lesson to help your family understand what it means to keep a firm hold on the gospel truths 'which we have heard?'  You might illustrate this with an object that is hard to hold onto." My first thought was water. Then I thought of the Snitch in a Quidditch game. Harry had to stay focused and not let other things going on around him be a distraction from catching and holding onto the Snitch.  What things did some of you think of?    Yesterday was a busy day, but the weather was really nice. It got into the 50's and was just lovely.  Verlynn Stoddard's mother, Jeanette Burnside (96), passed away and yesterday was her funeral.  It was wonderful to see all the Zundel kids, and their kids, also, Breck, Rod, Dodie, Verlynn, Jordan, etc. They all send their love to each of you.     Then later in the afternoon Dad and I each had a Regional meeting to atte...

  Hi everybody!    Dad conducted in Sacrament meeting today; he always does such a nice job. This afternoon I took a nap, which isn't unusual for a Sunday afternoon. I really enjoyed the Come, Follow Me lesson this week. It was fun to be reading in 2nd Timothy and find out that Timothy's grandmother's name was the same as Shelby's middle name!  See 2 Timothy 1:5.    Not really a whole lot going on around here, the weather is warmer than last week, and I'm enjoying that. Dad's foot is still pretty bad. Tomorrow he's going to try crutches, to see if taking weight off the foot even more than with a cane, will help. I really think it will make a difference.     Last week, October 25th, was the 60th anniversary of when Gran and Granddad joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I was about 19 months old at the time. Gran shared her journal entry with me that she wrote this week. I'll include a picture of it.  I shared it with al...
