As I was leaving for work this morning, a woman approached me and asked: "Anybody living here speak Spanish?". I said "no" and the man who was with her echoed my "no" and wrote something on a pad. It appeared that he was recording my answer. They then walked over to my neighbor's house and rang the doorbell. I have no idea what their intentions were.

That is an odd thing to do for curiosity. Maybe they were unemployed for a very long time and had nothing else better to do.
With people these days, there is really no telling...maybe they worked for a magazine, or newsletter, or something like that.

It's possible, but I would expect recording of audio instead of writing notes on a pad.Tue Sep 22, 2009 12:15:48 am

"Elder" doesn't refer to their age. It's a status thing. They have to get to that status before they recruit.Tue Sep 22, 2009 12:21:35 am

I studied Spanish for 8 years and had an A in Advanced Conversational Spanish in college, but I am very much out of practice now.Tue Sep 22, 2009 1:39:17 am
