This was our biggest group of missionaries to return home. Homes were in Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina. We only had one sister and she was returning to Peru. They were a good group.
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."
