"can't they decide for themselves?"

Ciao tutti

Hey ya'll I don't really have much today, but I do have pictures finally. Sorry it took so long, but I promise the wait was worth it. The funniest thing that happened this past week is that we were doing the door knocking thing, and we entered a building to find this door opened and a two women sitting inside. The first thing they say to us is "no we don't need anything, nor do we want anything you have to offer (which is a shame cause eternal life is quite the gift we give)". I say ok and begin to go up the stairs to the top floor. The lady calls me back saying "no, no, no one wants or needs what you have to offer". I say, "can't they decide for themselves?" and start to go up the stairs. They begin to scream bloody murder at me. My companion is completely frozen at the bottom of the stairs not knowing what he should do, and I'm calmly climbing the stairs to the top floor. One of the ladies runs to the front of the building to ring all the telecoms and tell everyone in the building not to open their doors the Jehovah's Witnesses are coming. Oh my! After we finish all the doors (only two people answered saw who we were, and shut the door) the lady continues to yell at me. I finally say to her "I think you could use some charity." I think that really made her mad, but I didn't see her reaction cause we ran out of there- nor do I care cause she also didn't even know who we were. Anyway the first picture is us wandering around in the dark although it doesn't seem that way to ya'll, it was dark. The second picture is of Matera old city from a cliff edge. It's cool cause the city sits on this cliff, and it is just beautiful. The third is of me climbing on some roof tops to get a cool picture. I swear you could enter that into any photo competition and win. Well don't worry there will be more pictures next week cause I have about a hundred and a funny video I want to send next time.

Arrivederci
