"Well, not necessarily. But it would be an enormous
inconvenience for new members who didn't know the languages"
Dear David,
I don't think you comprehend the difficulty in acquiring these
languages. First off, this is a task best done when one is young and
becomes increasingly difficult to do the older one gets. How old are
most members of the House of Justice? After years of studying Arabic
and Persian I am still nowhere near fluent and need a dictionary in
hand to read just about anything. I only know one House member who was
not a native speaker who learned to read these languages and that was
Hooper Dunbar. He studied them while he was a pioneer in Argentina.
Their workload could not possibly allow them to do this once they are
elected.
warmest, Susan
