Trip to Pennsylvania for Area Conference

We just returned from a wonderful trip to Seven Springs in Western Pennsylvania for the area conference. On the way we were able to see some beautiful sights that I have never been to. Because I love my dear Grandma Hirschi, our first stop was Hershey, Pennsylvania  where Hershey chocolate is manufactured.  I know all my Hirschi cousins will be jealous.

 

Next we were able to travel to the sacred sight of Gettysburg. I felt a somber spirit here and felt a great love for all those who have died defending truth and right. There is an amazing mural that is housed in a round HUGE building that depicts the battle. Wow! Garald loved chatting with Abraham Lincoln .

We were able to hike in the beautiful mountains of Pennsylvania . It was lovely to see our good friends frm Idaho, Ryan and Jodi Garner.

On the way home, we stopped at the sight of the crash of flight 93 on 9/11. It was a monument dedicated to truly heroic people.

 

On the way home, we went to Harmony Pennsylvania where Joseph Smith spent time translating the plates. Also, it was in the Susquehanna River that he and Oliver Cowdrey were baptized. They are doing a lot of construction there.
