Quiero ver Frozen!!!!!!

HOLAAAAA!
Este es mi primer Post en español, tengo que admitir que estoy un poco nerviosa por esto, no se si alguien lo vea, o, que haya personas que hablen español que sigan mi blog, pero quizás, así que, esto es para ustedes.
Bueno, el español es mi primer idioma, así que como me expreso mejor en mi primer idioma (obviamente), creo que estos post serán mas largos (mi culpa).

Quizás se estén preguntado: Estas bien Sofia? Que es Frozen?
Para que entiendan lo que pasó, haré una pequeña introducción.
Ahora empecé a darle estudios a Diana, ella tiene 10 años y sus hermanas son TJ.
La mama de Diana murió hace como dos años, así que comprenderán, la familia tiene que lidiar con el dolor que esto conlleva, su hermana mayor, Verónica, sirve en otra congregación, y me pidió si podía darle estudios a Dianita. Yo dije que estaba bien,
Diana solía estudiar el libro Aprendamos del Gran Maestro, pero hoy ya comenzamos a estudiar el folleto Buenas Noticias.
Cuando terminamos el estudio Diana me dijo que tenia un libro de colorear de Frozen (ya habíamos tenido estas platicas acerca de Frozen). El libro tenia calcomanias, entonces ella me regalo una (yo se, es una dulzurita), la parte mas chistosa es que yo todavía no he visto la película (JAJA), pero me encanta el cabello de Elsa y Ana, y todo lo que tiene que ver con el arreglo de la película (dibujos, ropa, etc)
Diana fue muy amable conmigo al explicarme quienes son los personajes y la relación que tienen cada uno, la mejor parte es que no tomó en cuenta mi falta de conocimiento acerca del asunto.
De todas formas, quiero ver Frozen tan pronto como pueda.
Ahora fue un hermoso día, encontré una revisita, tuve animadoras conversaciones con la hermana con quien salí, Susana, quien es una de las primeras Testigos de la ciudad, di dos estudios Bíblicos, y aprendí mas acerca de Frozen.

Servir a Jehovà es maravilloso :)

Con amor, Sofia.

I wanna watch Frozen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOLAAAAA!
May you are asking to yourself: Is Sofia ok? What's Frozen?
Well, today I started a Bible study with Diana, who is 10 years old, and her sisters are JW.
Diana's mom passed away 2 years ago, so, the whole family have to deal with the pain, and the older sister Veronica, who is married and served in another congregation asked me if I could give bible studies to her sister. I say it was ok.
Diana used to study the Great Teacher book (Aprendamos del Gran Maestro, spanish), today we started studying the Good news brochure.
After we finished the study, she told me that she has a colouring book of Frozen (we have had those conversations about Frozen before), The book has stickes so she gave one (yes, I know, she is so sweet), the FUNNIEST part is that I haven't seen the movie yet (LOL!), but I love Elsa and Ana's hair, and everything about the arrangement of the movie (drawings, clothe, etc). D
Diana was so kind with me, besides my lack of knowledge about Frozen, she explained me about the characters and their relationship.
Anyways, I wanna watch Frozen as sooner as I can.
Today was a great day, I found a Return visit in service, encouraging conversations with my partner, Susana, who is one the first Witnesses in the city, I gave two bible studies, and I learnt more about Frozen.
Serve Jehovah is wonderful :)))))


Love, Sofia.

Regional Convention 2014


HOLAAAAAAA!
I just had my convention the pass week and it was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G, it helped me to see me already in the paradise.
We started on friday and something that I loved was the drama, some people that I know had part of it so it was cool.


On saturday there was the baptism day, sister Lucrecia got bautized, it was really emotional because an old sister got bautized and then she hug to the brother.
Old sister huging the bro, it melted my heart.
Sister Lucrecia was bautized by our eleder. That was her facial expression.

Hector welcoming to our new sister
A good new is that now we can watch TV in the brake time!!!!!!
No, it is a joke, we have monitors in all the hall in order that everybody could enjoy the program, a brother who is serving in Bethel says that it was supposed to be working in the fourth convention, but they worked in the night and the monitors were working in the FIRST convention! Such a Jehovah's blessing.


My congregation helped with the cleaning on Saturday, I have evidence (lol), it was a little bit hard to clean after the lunch because the attendance was around of 2,700 people in the hall.

Nathalia and me

With Rachel.

My sister and Natalia

With Tania.

This was a beautiful week, full of good news and friends. By the way, I am thinking really seriously in upload some post in Spanish, I am not sure about it.
Thanks for read,

Love, Sofia.

Pioneers' campaign

HOLAAAAAAAAAAA!
Have you ever heard about the pioneers' campaign?
Well, it's basically a campaign for pioneers who made themselves available to serve where there is a need, so I sent my request to the central American branch in August, and I was supposed to received it in the first days of November.
-November comes- and I hadn't received my assignment, but everybody from the others congregations already got it. So I thought that I wouldn't received one.
Today I was reading the new release from the convention in my bed(yes I had my convention the last week, I'm gonna post about it),  and I felt asleep there but then when I was in the most precious moment of my rest I heard my phone, I get up and I answered the phone, it was my elder, the conversation was like:
Me: hello.
Bro: hello, this is Brett, how are you?
Me: huh, good.
He: Did you go to give bible studies?
Me: nope
He; can you come to our house?
Me: why?
He: I have something for you.
Me: *lazy voice* aaaah ok, do you have my assignment?
He: just come.
Me: ok, I'll be there in 5 minutes.
I get there and I talked with her wife a little but, afterward the went out to his office and gave me my assignment and he told me: "here you have, congrats".
I was ECSTATIC. I couldnt believe that it was happening, it just awesome to see how Jehovah answered my prayer.
I am leaving on march and I am going to San Jacinto, Leon.
It is around 7 hours from my house in bus, I just received my assignment so I still don't know how it is. I will be posting about it :)
I'm so happy to have the opportunity to give Jehovah all my youth.

There I am c,


Love, Sofia
