This was our biggest group of new missionaries to arrive to date. We had 19 new missionaries arrive from Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Bolivia, and two from Colombia. We are very happy to have them serving with us.
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."
