Bring back my Bonnie to me, to me....

SO, I got to sleep over at my parents house Monday night and wait for 5 am to roll around to get a long awaited phone call form Bonnie. Both her and Jacob called from the airport Monday. Bonnie told us 3 interesting experiences.

1. Bonnie told me a story of how she accidentally tucked her dress into the back of her MESH undies after a bathroom break. She walked all the way back to class before her companion realized it at the end of the class. She was so embarrassed! Poor thing!
2. Another event was when an Elder P (something), came up to her and said that he knew her brother and wanted to take a picture of him with her. Later after talking to Jacob it turns out that this guy had seen the picture of Bonnie in Jacob's room and asked who that was. When Jacob said it was his sister the Elder said "I think I'm in love". Pretty funny, but Bonnie didn't think it was so funny though. That probably has something to do with the fact that he wanted her to go meet him at his dorm and said something else (like hitting on her) how he would like to take her in his arms... The best part of the story was hearing that Ammon asked how big this guy was and how strong he looked. (Probably just in case he needed to put the hurt on him. ha ha!)
3. It's funny that sometimes it's not what you say it's how you say it. I am not trying to be crude in any way but Bonnie told us how they had an entire meeting on how there is "Feces all over the earth!!!" Literally. That by shaking hands you could get it on your hands, eat it and get sick. Also they went a step further in describing what their own feces should look like. I'm know that these matters are a necessary part of staying healthy but WOW, how do you relate that to be healthy "a healthy bowl movement should be like toothpaste", without losing the crowd? They tried to remain serious but after a few of these kind of funny-blunt statements the crowd all just started laughing. Bonnie is very serious when it comes to the gospel so to hear that she laughed tells me the speaker was probably being a bit funny about the whole thing. BUT, She also said that anything barely even a knee slapper was super hilarious, tears flowingly funny, because they were all so tired and worn out from long days and long hours in meetings! She said she looked over at Jacob in the meeting and he was just losing it!

Monday morning as they loaded up, Jacob gave Bonnie a big hug and they both said I love you at the same time and laughed. Those 2 are so cute!!!
Bonnie gave out 10 pass along cards and 2 books of Mormon in the airports today. One of the men was very interested and on his own said he promised he would read it. She was so excited!
So then about 2 hours later Jacob called.
He just wanted to tell us that he loved us like a million times and that he gained 8 lbs in the MTC! He said the MTC was the best experience ever. He, Bonnie and Ammon all sang in the choir together and had a great time.
I just love those missionaries! They remind me of Alma 17:13. They are all so dedicated to the cause. I'm proud of them!

Picts are of Bonnie with her best friends. Notice me!! Hello, I'm one of them.

I sang this to her when I was in 4th grade at a talent show:

My Bonnie lies over the ocean, my Bonnie lies over the sea, My Bonnie lies over the ocean, Oh bring back my Bonnie to me ...

(sing it with me) Bring back, bring back, bring back my Bonnie to me, to me,

Bring back, bring back, bring back my Bonnie to me! Yeah Bonnie! (then she ran up to us on stage full speed and knocked the microphone over with her baby 2 year old chubba bubba body.)

Speaking of "weirdie" antics..............

We must not forget to post the wining entry for writing in the second grade out of all of Gilbert. The poem is a haiku Zack said.

Here it is, titled: Soldier

A soldier goes to war

leaving home and family

blood sheds on them

That's it. OK Now I know why all the parents look at me weirdly.

Hey now you are looking at me that way, stop it!!! (You wanta dance lunch box?)
Zack said the blood meant like tears as the family misses those fallen soldiers.

OK, yes, I know that doesn't make it any more normal.

AND what were those judges thinking??.......................................................?!?
