We circled the little islands and saw many sea lions. Here there are four sunning themselves in the sun. These were females, and they were big, but the males are huge. These girls are pregnant most of their lives.
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."
