We had two new sisters arrive ready to start working. Hermana Fuentealba is from Chile,and Hermana Rivero is from Uraguay. We have many missionaries from Chile, but Hermana Rivero is our first missionary from Uraguay.
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."
