Those of us who weren't able to make the climb, took the cable car to the top. The experience was the culmination of a year's worth of each person striving to overcome one major obstacle in their life. When we gathered together at the top of Ebenalp, we sang, "Heark All Ye Nations" and the Stake President gave a prayer to re-dedicate the members of the stake to self-improvement by living the gospel more completely, and for more success in missionary work. Fog surrounded the area for most of the morning, but after the prayer, the clouds began to break up and we were able to see beautiful mountains and valleys all around us.

Gathering at the top
Receiving the message
Singing "Heark, All Ye Nations!"
Dedicating the Stake for growth as we share the gospel with others
Fog beginning to lift while distant vistas appear and a paraglider prepares to take flight
