More Drama .... Drama!

In a blog from the last several months, I mentioned that I had the privilege to direct the Sunday drama about Joseph... We had a great time working together. I may have mentioned that the brothers from our old circuit in Reno sent the costumes on from the States, we made alterations to the costumes for the same characters here in Cuenca, and all went well. The Webbs formally know as TGC brought them from the States after have having one of their detox vacations. (That's what we have come to refer going back to the states as being.... ;-))))))

Group from the Reno Circuit

Last week I get an email from some brother in Chile.... some 1700 miles south of Santiago, Chile ..... Coihayque, Chile to be exact. Who do I know in Chile? Very few people... We did go to the international in 2009 in Santiago, but to have anyone we keep in constant contact with?  No one! Well maybe there is one sister we keep in contact with from time to time... She helped us on our bus and at that time served in English...   Aaaanyway ...... sorry for that mental deviation. I get this email from this brother explaining how he has the same drama and that he heard of the now famous costumes that have traveled the world ..... The information he had ... included the costumes being sent to Nicaragua and being used by 2 drama groups and then being sent onto Honduras for 1 drama group (that part never happened, Nicaragua and Honduras, ....  but it sure sounds good, doesn't it?) Reno/ Sacramento and Cuenca so far .... His email came with a drama photo of the original cast ... so I took it to be the real deal. Juan Ponce is his name and he was sent information from SAL and KAREN who got the information from David Cabral (Sal and Karen who? I don't know, David Cabral I do know!) Back to the story..... I let Juan know, that yes, we are willing to send them ..... (Carol has been asking me what are we going to do with all these costumes that have been in our closet since August) Her question was answered in one email.... imagine that!

So the next day after exchanging a few more emails I get this email from the wife of the brother......



Hey Bill-

This is Stephanie Conable....the wife of Juan Ponce.

I saw your name in his inbox and thought to myself...Bill Heilig...i know that name!

Are you the Bill Heilig from Reno??

Are you married to Carol?

I may be completely wrong...but thought I would ask!

I met you all years ago on a cruise with the Priddle family.

Are you serving in Ecuador?

I got married in April of this year and my husband and I are living in the Patagonia, Chile.

Hope you guys are doing well!

Abrazos

Stephanie

How interesting.... someone we know from the States is the wife of the brother asking for the costumes. Jehovah willing, they will arrive in Patagonia in the next few weeks. Hopefully we will get a photo from that group as well...

Then we can have a vote on who are the best looking of all the groups..... JUST KIDDING!

As someone once said.... "It's a really small world, when your no part of the world!"

Ciao for now.
