Our hiking adventure yesterday ended in disaster. An elder in our group swung from a vine, lost his grip and slid down the vine. When he let go, the vine rebounded back and hit Bonnie square in the nose, fracturing it and sending her to the ground. It took us quite a bit of time to get her down the mountain and back to Curitiba to the hospital. She is quite swollen but anxious as always to get back out there with our missionaries.

ReplyDeleteBonnie,
ReplyDeleteOdd place, I know, to renew an old friendship, but I just read about your father, and I wanted to send our sympathy. May the memories bring sweetness, and may the Spirit bring peace.
With love,
Paul and Sharon (Fitch) Pierce
Liberty Square '84
PS I'd love to catch up sometime when things settle. We may have a referral or two for your mission.
I have not kept in touch with Bonnie since our BYU years, but wanted to express my condolences on the passing of her father.
