Luella and Brenda

I have two African-American students from the Miskito coast of Nicaragua.  From the web:  "100,000 people speak a second language called Miskito Coastal Creole, which is a mixture of Miskito, English, Spanish, and African languages that arose after colonization."   They learn Spanish in school.   Luella is an older woman who had grown up in a stilt house overlooking the lagoon.  She spoke English and came to class to learn how to write.  Brenda is a much younger woman with a 9-year-old son.  Luella and Brenda are both very mild mannered and kindly.   Luella means "women warrior."  Brenda means "sword."
