I love the yw!

So by far the most exciting thing that is going to happen this week is that sister cartwright and I will get to go to Young Women's camp for a day we screamed when we found out that we would get to go. Tonight we will get to go on a hike with them as well! Garima  is going to come to the hike and she'll be coming to Camp too:) this past week was good we had exchanges with the Halifax sisters, and then we went to truro for our exchanges there. I was with the sister Behlke  and we met this really sweet old black lady Penny she told us some pretty crazy stuff about her life and just had to vent to us. It's really cool how much people trust us they never hesitate to tell us all their life stories there's something about missionaries that just makes people open up :-). A week and a bit ago a was really stressed about going back to university after the mission. I know I don't need to be thinking about that yet but I was just so so nervous. I just couldn't get the thought "you will fail" out of my head. Then in district meeting last week somehow the topic of sacrifice nd taking risks came up. Leaving university is kinda a risky thing haha I defineitely don't remeber all of the things I will need to when I go back for math and my other classes. But when we sacrifice or take risks for God we don't have to fear for our future. I love that quote from president Monson that goes something like " when we are on the lords errand we are entitled to His help". It brought me a lot comfort and it was just so cool to know that God knew my thoughts because I was kinda too embarrassed to pray about it because it wasn't something I felt I should worry about. 

Love you all!
