Our two Chilean hermanas from Chile, came over one afternoon and taught me how to make Chilean empanadas, sopaipillas, and a yummy postre. We worked, laughed, and remembered Chile. We loved our three years that we lived in Chile.
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."
