Yes there is at least one mountain in NJ. The Liebenzell USA headquarters is located on it. It probably won't win any impressive mountain prizes but it a nice quiet place in the woods where the Mission has a quaint guest house and an expansive property for a retreat center.
Every four years, Liebenzell USA has a large mission conference in which all of their missionaries come "home" (Although many don't consider east coast home when they are in the states and not quite all the missionaries make it.) I am very much looking forward to seeing and catching up with the other Liebenzell USA members of the PIBC team and meeting the other missionaries from around the world. The PIBC team includes the Owens, the Stinnettes, the Farnsworths, and Rob Watt. (Rob works in Palau so I don't get to work directly with him.)
We will have all types of meetings and some good teaching times as well. Then there will be plenty of time for rest or other fun activities. I heard one day we will be going into New York and having a cruise around Manhattan.
And on Saturday we will have "Mission Day". A day when supporters and family can come and hear stories of the mission work done throughout the world by the Liebenzell Missionaries and enjoy a nice lunch. Last year Mission Day was my first time to go to Liebenzell and Ned and I spoke. We happened to be the only missionaries stateside at the time. I am hoping this means that most of the other missionaries will do most of the speaking. :o)
I will have my laptop and internet access from there so I will be posting pictures and stories throughout the week.
