Hermano Kalama and his family are from Hawaii. They presented a festive Luau-Open House for the members and friends in Nogal. We had real Hawian food, dancing and a film of the Polenesian Culture Center history.
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."
