Having been in the US for 20 years the woman should be able to speak fluent English.  The unfortunate position she now occupies is of her own making, having had many years to explore solutions.  I suggest that as gentle and accommodating as the church feels toward her it is also well to remember that it is a 2-way street.  The good citizens of Colorado and the US have been accommodating her medical, educational, infrastructure, employment, food and shelter needs for 20 years.
