We always hate to say good-bye to our special missionaries. The Chapmans' returned to Florida, the Jensons' returned to Utah, and Hermana Parra returned to Ecuador to continue her studies in medicine. We will miss them.
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."
