GNOME RESCUED IN DARING COMMANDO RAID!

Our precious Mr. Gnome was kidnapped and held for ransom.  You all saw the nefarious ransom note.  The ransom demand was clearly beyond our ability to pay, so we began planning a 3 AM rescue of poor Mr. Gnome.

First, we recruited a spy from the enemy camp...

Then we had a panel of expert analysts examine the ransom picture for clues...

Expert Conclusion: Victim is in the Ballroom with Colonel Mustard.



After planning every detail of the rescue mission, we paid a tribute of apple cider to the enemy (see Mosiah 22:5-12)...





We prepared a decoy Gnome so the enemy would not know a switch had taken place, and trained

for the raid....


 At zero hour the spy let us into the enemy camp while the enemy was in a state of thoughtless stupor, and we made the switch.  The rescue involved repelling down a zip line (all good rescues have to use a zip line) and escape in a GnomeMobile.

The decoy was very successful.  As far as we know, the enemy still thinks they have the genuine Gnome.

We took Mr. Gnome to a safehouse.

We asked Mr. Gnome if he wished to be debriefed.

"Oh, I would be too embarrassed." He replied, "Besides, I think they are painted on."

*giggle* We tried to bribe Mimi to help us, but all she wanted to do was eat the cookies and sing "Little Mermaid" songs, so we took our chances on a more seasoned and hardened spy! He was a hard one to crack!!
