Lois, I'm going to translate this document into Spanish and post it in several places on the internet. It is altogether too bad that I don't know Hindi or any African tongue. One of the things that helps the dealership skate on top of the problems it is causing is the fact that the language barrier makes it more difficult for the targets of their evangelism to find out via the internet just how badly they are going to be taken.
