On Sunday we gathered together and had a short sacrament meeting- it was so neat that pretty much all of us that went were members of the church! After that we headed to Gettysburg. We took a bus tour of Getttysburg, it was very neat and had a solemn feeling as we took this tour and learned about the Gettyburg battle.


Type of cannons used during the civil war- these babies could shoot 1 mile.



This is where the Gettysburg Civil War Battle occured. In these fields




1 of the memorials of this battle





In the way back there is a picture of a farm house, this house was used as a hospital.

This place was were the battles last day was, up on rocky ridge hill

Another view of the hill were the Gettysburg battle ended and the Unions won, which gave the Union's an advantage in the war

That night after Gettysburg, we went to China Town

We ate at Hard Rock Cafe in China Town

We walked by Ford's Theater in China Town. We weren't able to ever get a tour of it.

Monday was a busy day we went to the American Farm Bureau offices for some group training and briefing.

After that we headed to the Capitol to get a tour, and meet with Reprensatitive Bishop. Every place you go in Washington DC, you have to go through security and through the metal detactors and have your purses checked through and scanned. Well, here at the capital I set off the metal detector, so I had to have the wand, my boots set off the wand, and I had to take my boots off to be scanned and looked at- it was kind of scary, but everytime I wore them I set the detectors off and had to go throught this process- huge pain!

Capitol Building

If you look at the Capitol Building there is a statue on top- this is what the statue is- lady of freedom

Rotunda of the Capitol building- it is so beatiful



Another pic of Rotunda

The painting at the top of the Rotunda if the Capitol

Painting of Pocahantas- the paintings in the Capitol were beatiful as well

Another room of the Capitol

There is a statue of Brigham Young in the Capitol

Another part of the Capitol- it is so fancy

One of the oldest parts of the Capitol- were they used to all meet

This is the oldest part of the Capitol Building- it was neat

The architecture of the Capitol building is amazing and beatiful. It was so neat to see.

We then meet with Rep. Bishop he was very straightforward and funny!

That night we went to a fancy restraunt with everybody- it was yummy, then back at the hotel we had a game night- of course we played maffia.
