One of my favorite Uncle Nelson stories to share is at our church's summer retreat several years ago.  It was during the evening time frame and a lot of us were gathered around a bonfire (as a retreat tradition for sharing testimonies and singing worship songs together).  It was also customary to make smores around the fire.  
One year, Uncle Nelson brought some hot dogs and we were really excited to enjoy some hot dogs on skewers at the bonfire.  But for some reason (I can't recall why), grilling around the bonfire was not allowed.  I remember Auntie Karen reprimanding Uncle Nelson ("...Nelson...") for not putting away the hot dogs. I could tell Uncle Nelson really wanted to grill some hot dogs by the bonfire.  So was I and a few others.  Eventually, as the night progressed on, we took out the hot dogs and skewers anyway and enjoyed a wonderful and memorable night of fellowship among brothers and sisters.  Uncle Nelson always looked out for all of us.... :-D
