Malvern Beacon


We took a little hike up to the top of the Malvern Hills to a place Wilford Woodruff named, Malvern Beacon. He came up to the exact mountaintop we climbed to four times while he was serving in Wales. One of those visits was when he dedicated the land of Wales.


It was a breathtaking view. The wind was blowing really hard when we got to the top of the hill, so hard that you could lean into the wind and it would hold you up. It felt great to have some outside force hold your body weight. I felt like I was skydiving or free falling because it was effortless, but somehow the breeze gave you stability. I found the mountaintop to be an easy place to think clearly and I understood better why many prophets in the scriptures ascended to mountaintops.
