Thursday we left our hotel at 8:50 am for Hershey, Pennsylvania in our borrowed school bus. Bro. Ed had brought his backpack guitar and we had singing on the way both ways. When Bro. Ed was at the front of the bus Ben, Derek, Michael, and some others in the back sang, "Father Abraham" and some other Sunday school songs. At least we know they were listening in Sunday school:)
The Hershey Factory was great!! I didn't have my camera and Levi ( whom I have been depending on for some of these pics) didn't get to go so sorry~no pics. They would only make you hungry anyway;)
On the way to Hershey we saw some BEAUTIFUL farm country. I love to look at big, sprawling farmland. I told someone that the only tall buildings I like are silos. I live in the country and feel very crowded in the cities.
Jess and her best friend, Lara, got their picture on a Hershey's candy bar wrapper. It looks really cute. Our entire group squeezed together ( and I really mean squeezed since they were about 50 of us that day) for a pic on a wrapper. It read ,"We had a sweet time in Pennsylvania!" We got a 3-D movie on the history of chocolate and a "classroom" experience with a "real" professor. This was a lot of tasty fun because we got to sample how all the different chocolates taste. Lara got to be on stage with the Professor and "show" us how to crack a cacoa bean. Kendall was chosen to be on stage to show us how long his tongue is. This was for the benefit of the audience members who weren't members of our group because all of us already knew he had a big mouth.:) We toured through a ride-along that showed us how chocolate candy is made and then had lunch that cost twice as much as it should have and was nowhere a good as it could have been. But all in all the Hershey day was a fun day. While we were in the Chocolate World Bro. Matthew Fuerst went back to our bus to pray at noon and while he was in the bus a large camper hit the front bumper and almost tore it off. If Bro. Matt hadn't been in the bus we feared the other driver might have just have driven away. But again , God's hand was leading and Bro. Fuerst was able to get insurance information from the driver. He was from Hawaii and had never driven a big camper before.
On the way back to the hotel, Lara, Jess, Ben, Derek, and Cohen sang, "Rejoice in the Lord always" and "This Little Light Of Mine", etc. Bro. Ed came to the back of the bus where we were and sang a number of songs with us. Later, Bro. Fuerst played and we had another sing-a-long.
