Week 94 - Denny's and a magician

"Cool snap with my boy Elder Winders"

Hey guys!!

Well this week was great -- way too fast as always, but it was great. This week President was out of town at a leadership training in Guatemala, which for us means that someone is going to go to the hospital, and sure enough, Tuesday night we were there until 1 in the morning, but we made a quick trip to the only place open at that time, the American classic: Denny's. Go America haha I got some really good french toast which made it all worth it. Haha good times. 

"Denny's trip"

Then Wednesday, the nurse needed some more help getting people to and from the hospital and with some money so Elder Vasquez took Elder Jones, the financial secretary, to help them out and I stayed with Elder Winders, the migration secretary. We were in a part of San Jose that neither of us knows so, instead of wandering and getting lost, we decided to go wait in a park and see who we could talk to. After about five minutes a guy that looked really drunk came up and yelled "hey friends! I'm a magician!". Remember, he looked drunk so you can imagine what we were expecting. So he came over closer, pulled out his deck of cards and told me to pick one. After I had seen it, he told me to put it back in the deck and he shuffled them together. He pulled out some cards and went through a few ones that weren't my card so I was losing faith in the guy. Then he went through them again and threw them down on the table and told me to pick whichever one I wanted. AND IT WAS MY CARD!!!! It blew us away! Then he did a few more tricks and surprised us even more. Then when he finished, he walked away and said a line I will never forget. "Magic isn't real. It's just an illusion. The real magic is..." clapping and pointing up dramatically, "Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!!" Haha it was awesome.

Then on Thursday, we went to Los Santos, and I went with Elder Winders, again, because he was there before and showed me the area a little more haha I spent a lot of time with Elder Winders this week -- it was crazy.

But I'm almost out of time so I'll let you guys know what else happened next week. But I'm doing great out here! Life's awesome! Love you all a ton!
