Week 28 - St Matthew 11: 28 - 30 - 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Dear Jordan,
    It has been a quiet but busy week all alone. Mom is in Minnesota. The girls are at Girls Camp. Mom flew out on Saturday but didn't arrive until early Sunday morning. She has been helping Bonni with her kids as they visit everyone in MN. Saturday was a busy day. In the morning (Flag Day) I helped set out the flags with Bekah's help. Robert and I drove to the cabin to help haul out the logs that were cut down a couple of weeks ago. Afterwards we stopped at Polar King and ate lunch. I then did the food shopping. Then I took mom to the airport. Then I drove to Alpine to fix one of grandma's sprinklers. Bekah and I then took down the flags. I then took the girls to get any remaining items for camp and then drove them and their gear to Luann's house. The girls left on Monday morning for Girls Camp. The are returning today so I expect some noise when I arrive home. They rafted the Green/Colorado River and they also sent a picture of themselves in from of Delicate Arch. I will ask questions when I get home to find out all that they did.
    On Sunday I was called as the scoutmaster. I am really looking forward to the calling. I am still the ward mission leader until they call a new one. Monday night we had the ward Family Home Evening at the Haueter's home. Only the Herbert-Voss family came. By the way, James did graduate and he is already up in Alaska. On Tuesday we made final plans for the food for the campout next week for Young Men's camp. On Wednesday, Mark Johnson and I did some home teaching and then I gathered some information so that I could fill out the tour permit for the campout. On Thursday night I helped with the Galena scouts for a bit and then went home and mowed the weeds. We got another warning about high weeds so I took care of it. Tonight is the only night that I don't have anything planned. Saturday morning I want to go to the temple, then Ben and Rachel and I will go down to Alpine so Rachel can mow the lawn and Ben and I can finish taking out the counters in grandma's kitchen. At 1 pm I will be meeting with the scouts to do the shopping for the camp for next week. I will still need to do our shopping but I will probably do it later in the evening. Mom flies in that night around 10:30 pm. Rachel flies to Denver on Sunday around 4 pm. It is a crazy eventful week. Next Saturday is mom's birthday in case you want to do anything special in the email this week.
    Hope you are doing well. Are you healthy? Strong? and the rest of the Scout Law? How is the work going? How is your new companion? In the Church News it talked about two of the apostles visiting Japan and Korea in May. Did you attend the conferences with the other missionaries?
    Can't wait to hear from you. We love you. We pray for you. You are in our thoughts constantly. Keep up the great work. Keep studying both languages and the gospel.    
Love,
Sarah, Hannah, Rachel, Bekah, dad, Mom
