Colombia has great shops with every color of tie you can imagine. They cost $4 or $5 Us dollars. This man loves the missionaries because they always buy so many ties from him. When an Elder is going home, he gives them a free tie.
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."
