I don't think I will be able to top this Mother's Day. Nine sister missionaries surprised me with a Mother's Day cake, two bouquets of flowers and the cutest Colombian campesina doll. It was a special Mother's Day indeed.
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."
