This was our first group of North American missionaries to go home. They were full of energy right up the end. We have Elder Barnard from Wyoming, Elder Smith from Utah, Elder Moen from Idaho, Elder Larsen from Texas, and Elder Lee from Utah.
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."
