Traci moves back home

29 Nov Wednesday
Traci has been with the YSA since the beginning of her stay in Jönköping. She arrived at the end of August as an exchange student to study business marketing along with Jared. Now after a few months of studying, traveling and spreading happiness she moves back home to Utah State University. We thank her for treating us with her presence. We will miss her and wish her the best with all of her persuits.

Hemafton-Fräscht & Snyggt Leende

Monday 27 Nov
In this fun packed evening we divided up the evening to a thanksgiving theme and an oral hygiene theme. To start off, we had a lesson on Gratitude. We got to apply that principle by writing at least five things each of us are thankful for. A long roll of papper was decorated by these lists by the Young Single Adults. It was titled: Wall Mural: Attitude of Gratitude. Phase two of the Thanksgiving bit was to play Cornucopia Turnover (fruktsalad in Swedish). It was a hoot by using thanksgiving themed names.

In the second part of the evening, Karin taught us the essentials of oral hygiene. She showed many options that are available to us as consumers. So the thing to remember is to floss often. If you only brush, your teeth are only getting 50% clean.

In this FHE, we said bye to Karin who'll be gone for about a month. But we also said bye bye to Traci who is going home to Utah on Wednesday. She got a souvenior Moose and card. We wish them all the best!
As for fika we had some refreshing fruit salad. Thanks to the Hagmans for having us over, for everyone who came and enjoyed themselves!

Hemafton-tips promenad

13 Nov Monday
In this evening of events Shara put on a competition of our wits. A "tips promenad" that challenged our geography/ history and other general trivia knowledge. Prizes were handed out to the winners. First place winner was Stéphanie. In second place came Ann Sophie. Third place winner was tied but Viktor broke the tie in the final question.
It just wouldn't be "hemafton" if we didn't have some fika. Sarah and Ann Sophie prepared some mouth-watering "kladkaka" (brownies). Thanks to all who came and participated.

Middag hos Hagmans & brasafton

12 Nov Sunday
Sister Hagman cooked up good grub for the YSA in between church services and the CES fireside broadcast in the evening. Thirteen came to have their tastebuds treated to some savoury food. We then got to write to the missionaries who are sent from the Ward. Since there was some time leftover before the broadcast we got to get some good laughs from "The RM" movie.
We then went our way and met up with others at the church for the fireside. Bishop Keith B McMullin spoke of 4 ingredients of how to increase our faith.
Thanks to all who came!

Movie Night: Johnny Lingo!

10 Nov Friday
Friday night, a time to relax from a weeks worth of work or school. Friday night became a movie night. "The Legend of Johnny Lingo", a full featured film that was viewed by many at the cozy Hagmans home. Afterwards we saw the short older version of Johnny Lingo.

So the quote from the evening, " Love is the most pricey commodity. The more you are willing to pay, the more valuable the price. The question is, are you willing to pay the price?"
"Never despise the small things. They have the potential to become great." So the question remains, how much do you value that special someone? ;)
