After church Sunday, the president of the Relief Society presented me with two dozen roses. For the next two hours, I walked around carrying these beautiful flowers. I felt like Mrs. America.
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."
