Faith and Impatience!

No post mark on it and so I have no idea when it was sent from Kalamazoo, MI. Here it has November 16th as the receiving date. I was a little disappointed in reading about Ringling at Coney Island, New York. Which was written by Sara Gordon on the recycle of costumes from other past editions of Ringling shows, also music and props and the performers faces were not too happy unless they see a camera looking at them. (Even those of us who are in religious life must have a friendly face or a welcoming face, to those we come in contact with, in sharing the good news of Jesus which is our witness and lift style.) The photographs are beautiful. Life on the road can be and is difficult but smiles are important when you are paying top dollar to see the circus today. It seems that the new edition of Ringling has less performers in comparison to other previous shows?? I hope that I am mistaken. I was very happy to see my dear friend Little Sister Jo with Brian in a photo about the article "Fire Breathing Magician" pages 30 and 31. Wishing everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving with many blessings to each one of you. Turkey here in Cochabamba is 3 dollars a pound????? Bro. Frank Dolphin, M.M. Maryknoll Missioners Cochabamba, Bolivia The White Tops Magazine continues to be the best ever with excellent stories and photographs. Thanks to the creativity of John and Mardi Wells and to all those who contribute to the magazine. This past weekend we had the Russian Circus on Ice that played at the Don Bosco High school auditorium. It was well received but animals are forbidden in circuses here in Bolivia. So not too many circuses are coming into this country under the Big Top. Sad to say. Some excellent one came here in years past.
