This was our first group of missionaries that we said "Good-bye" to. They were very good missionaries. We will miss them. We have them returning to Peru, Argentina, Colombia, Brazil, and Ecuador.
I have chosen the title "Hermona Patrona" because my husband has for many years affectionately called me La Patrona. In Spanish the word jefa means "she who is the boss". My husband, however, says that the word patrona refers to "she who commands". In other words, La Patrona is more powerful than La Jefa. Because we are serving on a mission, he now calls me "Hermana Patrona."
