Elder Hathaway on the right is one of our North American missionaries. He has been on the misson about one year. He has lost 80 pounds since he got here. His companion, Elder Valverde, has to hang on to him. Way to go Elder Hathaway.
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."
