we knocked for 3 hours the other day and once, elder bey and i went down this street and got rejected by everyone! like one guy opened the door for a second and said not interested. then the next house this big man lady thing answered and said not interested, then the rest of the street was bad. then on the other side of the road we found some freaky things, we called the street cursed and to never go back.  but one house E bey rang the bell and this crazy flying bug thing flew into him from no where and when we looked at it on the ground, i've never seen it before it had a long abdomen and it looked like it would kill anything it touched.  then the car right outside the fence alarm went off and we continued to the next house that smelled really strongly of moth balls. then the next house was creepy with halloween decorations and the lady was jewish but elder bey said our message is for "jew and gentile" and she took a card.  but she was the only nice person the whole street! oh we also found a dead mouse and a gimpy bumble bee and a dead praying mantis. so we were freaked out by what was going on there.
   but we did have one lady who was nice and was interested on another street.

 and later elder galloni and i went together and we saw a truck with the inverted cross painted on it, so galloni was like, that's satanic, lets go preach repentance to them!
 
i had a great idea which was to add brian to my email lists.
   the other day the other elders asked us to come over to their house and help them with something and i was thinking it was a prank or something cuz they were really excited as we climbed the stairs.  what they wanted us to do was film them in they're daily missionary lives.  for elder galloni's family. so it was funny. they had it all planned out, it was good. for comp study they played a game of magic. ( dumb card game they want me to learn)  but it was all set up and they were at the table for a second.  then they went to pick out ties and "accidentally" kept picking the same ties.  it was pretty funny. elder galloni is a funny kid. (Brian, he's italian.)  

   we got paid last fri and now i have a lot of money. but today i might spend a lot. we're going to red robin for lunch, and i sent a package home (more info later)  and laundry, and shopping, and whatever else... i want some normal shoes. but i don't want to spend a lot.

  we have a few investigators but i've still only met one pair. a young married couple. but we didn't teach them.

 oh last night we went to a member's house for dinner and it was super good. one of their daughters made this amazing spring roll thing that was like turkey and cabbage wrapped in a crepe.  i ate a ton.  and the main food was noodles and meatballs. i ate a lot. it was good.  the dad used to be bishop in the ward i guess.   they were a really nice family, they have two other daughters on missions, one in ogden and one in argentina. i think they're twins. they've been our about 7 months.

lets see...........    oh we have a senior couple in our district, the Owens, and sister owen can make some flippin good cookies and other things. like elder law says he normally doesn't like cookies, but her's are "to kill for"    and last night she made mint frosting brownies and i ate a few. only a few because of all the other food i ate earlier.
 
  i was thinking about sending my sd card home. but i haven't taken much pics of this new area. only the pad.  i need to take a pic of the rest of the district and other things i guess.

i've sent a box home. i have a letter inside but i'll explain more here.
  as a missionary, i've decided, ( along with the new dress code,) that i need to wear more colorful ties. so i'm sending my browns and boring colors home. so i can have more space to pack things, and so i can look better.  i was wearing one of my dull greenish brown tie when i had the epiphany. that everyone is wearing nice brightly colored ties. and i'm wearing ugly browns and stuff.  
  so i do want to keep my ties. just throw them in my closet i guess.
 
 also included is a little gift i bought for the girls for christmas. because i'm not made of money i just got one thing. and i'm thinking the girls can share or fight over it. i hope they still like doctor who.
   i wanted to be nice and send something home. and i guess i did last year. but it was just for sierra, but hannah didn't get anything... i think.....   i looked for a shirt for hannah, but it was a tank top and the biggest was large. and idk  which sizes the girls are.  so i didn't want to mess up.
  i might still send something else home if i find something worth it.
we went to fye so i can find the bible soundtrack but for some dumb reason it wasn't there. but i did find a lot of cool think geek toys. i wanted to get the portal gun replica, or the star trek door sound effect thing.
 oh and dad, elder law loves star trek, he was looking for the soundtrack for the first movie.  and also, whenever i have the ipod in the car, we always listen to LOTR and he's pretty much memorized what happens so he's like saying funny things, like "no, frodo!"  or "yeah gandalf!"   or "oh sam.."   just quoting the movie pretty much.

anyway, i think that's it for now.
