Stake Sommar Party

29 June-1 July

Jönköping, for the third time, held a stake activity with the same theme every time which is "sommar party". The city is located in between Stockholm and Gothenburg which has its advantages logistically. The town stretches around part of the second largest lake in Sweden thus it has beaches to enjoy.
We had a good turn out with people from the Gothenburg stake, Stockholm and even Oslo, Norway! There were dances Friday and Saturday evening with a special emphasis on a Luau on Saturday evening. Lei's, the popular necklaces, were past out to the attendees. We even had a bar serving tropical drinks.
Saturday was filled with options such as football (soccer), beach volleyball, and roaming around the shops. Rain didn't stop the desire to play football. Others went to the indoor shopping center.
In the afternoon we had a dating workshop hosted by Natalie and Rich Myers. They encouraged everyone to date and not to have preconceived notions of getting married just because of going on a single date. A dating panel was helpful to answer questions from the question box. The panel consisted of married couples of various ages to pass on their advice and lessons of life. A challenge went out to everyone of "5 dates in 5 weeks". A prize would be given to top three daters! Ready, set, date!
The YSA joined in on the regular worship services of the Jönköping Ward. It was a great weekend. It got put together by many people. Thanks for all those who contributed. It wouldn't be possible otherwise.
