The iglesia Lourdess is very old, and it always looks like it is being renovated. There is a large plaza in front that has many street venders and pigeons. We are told it is a good place for pic pockets.
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."
