Many of our missionaries sent me a personal note for my birthday. Sister Boulter from our office, took the notes and make a huge birthday card for me. It was a pleasant surprise and a nice keepsake.
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."
