Three weeks to go and.. Wait! Three?

Holaaaaaaaa!
Okay my friends! I can't believe that I have 3 weeks left in Granada!
As you should know, I'm moving where the need is great -San Jacinto, Leon- for 1 month.
I visited the place because my mom wanted to check it out and make sure that I will be safe of Chikungunya. Which is weird because I think that we have more mosquitoes here than in San Jacinto, maybe it was only an excuse to get to know the place, lol!
Anyways! I have been a little bit busy -ministry, job, C.O visit, a lot of blessings from Jehovah- that is why I haven't upload a word.  I can't sleep right now, so I said: um, I should post something.
So this post is not something that I previously planned. Plus, the fact that I feel that my English is getting worse everyday. So, if you read something silly, it is my fault.

1st good new: I visited San Jacinto with my mom and Gema, andddd I went to Pan y Paz in Leon (my favorite place)

2nd good new: I received the answer of my letter for the metropolitan preaching (I'm not sure if this is the correct term in English, but What I mean is: Predicación metropolitana).  We are gonna have An special program for the Poerty Festival, which is from February 15th to February 22th, I think. We are going to be with the stands almost the whole day :)

3rd good new: the CO visited my congregation this week, it was such an encouraging week.

4th good new: I have my convention the second week of February. Cant wait have more divine education from Jehovah and to catch up with all my friends before  I leave.

5th good new: I'm leaving on FebruAry 25th :)

All the pictures of the time that u have been "lost" are in my Instagram -zanahoriasrosas-, so, if you're interested you can check it out.
I will try to post more in these weeks.
Remember that you can share my posts with your friends, family, neighbor, cat, etc.

Thanks for read.
Love, Sof.

Cosas que probablemente has dicho en el ministerio.. En Nicaragua.

HOLAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Si hay alguna que he olvidado, o pase por alto pueden dejarmelo en los comentarios.
 Empezemos:

1. *Cuando vas a un territorio rural o apartado*:
"Me traje esta camisa larga -o falda- por el sol y todo eso."

2. No se que fuera sido mejor, quemarme por el sol, o sudar y sudar. (por la ropa que decidiste llevar para el territorio rural)

3. Ahora mi meta es beber -cierta cantidad de agua- durante la mañana.

4. Mis calcetines no combinan con mi falda o camisa, pero no importa.

5. No traje mi sombrilla porque hacia demasiado viento. *luego de un rato* FUE UNA MALA IDEA.

6. Podemos sentarnos un rato? Estoy cansada.

7. Busquemos una sombra para descansar.

8. Busquemos una pulperia, tengo hambre.

9. Tengo una revisita pero es HASTA EL OTRO TERRITORIO, el del viernes.

10. Estas dispuesta a caminar hasta el otro territorio?

11. Me duelen los pies.

12. Necesito otros zapatos para predicar.

13. Necesito otra sombrilla.

14. Lodo en invierno, polvo en verano.

15. Genial! Esta comenzando invierno, es decir, lluvia, es decir, MI HORARIO ARRUINADO.

16. Olvide apuntar el nombre de mi revisita.

17. Tengo que hacer unas revisitas mas tarde, pero son "rápidas".

18. Quiero terminar tarde hoy, pero hace demasiado calor.

19. Quiero salir temprano por la tarde, pero el sol esta demasiado fuerte a esa hora.

20. *Dando direcciones* La dirección de la revisita es: de donde don Justino, 2 cuadras mas adelante, de ahí, vas a ver una casa verde, doblas a la derecha, cuando dobles, vas a ver un palo de mamon, de ese palo, 5 cuadras en esa misma dirección.
Y bueno no importa lo que pase, siempre disfrutamos de declarar las buenAs nuevas:))

Quizás alguna de esas cosas solo las he dicho yo, como la numero 15. Jaja.
Gracias por leer.

Con amor, Sofia.

Reunión especial.

HOLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
AAAAH, como amo escribir en español, tanto que casi pongo en el titulo "espacial" en lugar de "especial".. Tristemente no fui a la Luna. ;)
De que reunión especial estoy hablando?
Creo que varios de ustedes ya saben que iré a servir donde hay necesidad dentro de poco.
Bueno, la semana que paso tuve la reunión con el superintendente para los que vamos a esta campaña.
Fue muy animador! Escuchamos 4 discursos y 2 de ellos fueron desarrollados por un misionero.
En el primer discurso el hermano enfatizo porque -individualmente- somos especiales en el propósito de Jehova, y luego, porque esta asignación es tan importante también.
Luego de eso, el hermano menciono cual es el propósito de esta campaña, el cual es, encontrar a personas que quieran ser parte de su pueblo. El hermano uso una ilustración, el saco una piedra, y nos la mostró, a primera vistas se veía super fea, pero luego el le dio la vuelta, y adivinen: la piedra TAN FEA, tenia diamantes incrustados!!! El nos dijo, que quizás nos encontremos con personas que en ese momento a simple vista no se vea que quieran aceptar el mensaje bíblico que llevamos, pero si somos pacientes y le mostramos interés y cariño podríamos sorprendernos, y tener a diamantes en la congregación. ME ENCANTO ESE PUNTO!!!

Estuvimos alrededor de 15 precursores en esa reunión, todos teníamos diferentes asignaciones, algunos vamos a algunos municipios o territorios alejados en Nicaragua, y otros a países de Centroamérica, como Honduras y Guatemala.
Puedo hablar por todos y decir que estábamos muy felices de estar en esa reunión y hacer nuevos amigos :)
Por cierto, conocí a una hermana que va al Tortugero, ese lugar queda en la zona atlántica de Nicaragua, el nombre de la hermana es Tomasa. Saben cuantos años tiene? Tiene 70 años!!!! Ella estaba tan feliz de estar ahí y servirle a Jehova con todo lo que tiene.

Tuvimos la reunion en Masaya.

Con Kathy, Ruth, Gema y yo


Ahí estoy con la hermana Tomasa.
Gracias por leerme.
Con amor, Sofia.

Special meeting.

HOLAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
What kind of special meeting are talking about Sofia????
I think that some of you know that I am going to serve where these is a need. Well, this weeked that just passed I had a meeting with the C.O
It was really encouraging. We heard 4 talks, and 2 of them were given for a missionary.
In the first talk the brother emphasize why we are so important in Jehovah's purpose as individuals, and then why this assigment is important too.
After it, the brother remember us the purpose of this campaign, which is find people who want to be part of Jehovah's people. As an ilustration the brother show us a rock, it looks like really horrible, but then he turn it and the horrible rock was shining, it has diamonds. He told us, that we will may find people that a simple view they don't want to accept the Bible truths in that moment, but If we are patient we can have beautiful diamonds in the congregation. I LOVED THAT POINT!!!

We were around 15 pioneers in that meeting, and all of us have different assigments, some are going to countryside of Nicaragua, and other outside of the country, like Honduras and Guatemala.
We were so happy to be there and made new friends,
By the way, I met this sister that is going to "El tortugero" which is in the Atlantic zone of Nicaragua, her name is Tomasa. Do you know how old is she? SHE IS 70 YEARS OLD!!!!!! She was so happy to serve Jehovah with all she has.


Cathy, Rut, Gema and me. Rut is going to Honduras, and the rest of us
are going to San Jacinto, that is near to Leon.

We had the meeting in Masaya.

With the sister Tomasa.
Love, Sofia.

Summarizing the time that I hadn't uploaded.

HOLAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
I dont want to made you think that my life is interesting (because is not, of course), but it seems that I hadn't post since  a month ago. And since that time it had happened a lot of things to me. I am going to attach pictures because I don't to write a huge sermon.

If you want to read this article in Spanish click here

My dad came to visit from Costa Rica, and we went to Leon
so I HAD TO go to my favorite place ever: PAN & PAZ.
After that my camera "failure" and is still in the store :(
My lil sister and I made letters for the brothers in the congregation,
we called it: "Thanks for letters". In the letters we gave reasons
why Jehovah and us were thankful.
I went to the laguna for first time with some friends, and then came another
witnesses, it was like a "JW meeting"
From right to left: Brett, Cathy, Gema, and me.
Kayaking with Brett

My view that day

After a long morning preaching Gema and I went to a coffee shop.
DELICIOUUS!

My friend MR. PIG, that didnt let me touch him. 

I ordered my new glasses!!!!!!!

As some people know, I made jewelry, and I started with it again. But my camera
is broke so the photos are not the best lol
I also called to the elder of the congregation where I will be serving on March. 7 weeks to go!!!!

Love, Sofia
