Take the Challenge if you DARE

I saw this on my sister-in-laws blog and had to lift it from her and share it on my page too. It is such a great idea and also a great cause. Hope she doesn't mind!?

As most of you know, our beloved prophet, Gordon B. Hinckley passed away at the age of 97.

I was thinking of how I could honor his legacy and I came up with an idea. My friend and I have created a challenge for those willing to accept it: Read the Book of Mormon in 97 days. We are trying to get everyone to start on the same day. Here are the details:

Go to www.hinckleychallenge.com and create an account (free, of course).
On Feb 4, 2008 (the Monday following the funeral) have an FHE lesson on the Book of Mormon and begin your reading!
Each day you read, record what page number you are on by going to www.hinckleychallenge.com.

We would like this challenge to be heard all around the world! Please forward this message to everyone you know. We would love to see over 1 million pages of the Book of Mormon read by the time this challenge has ended.

P.S. You can always see an updated list of those who have accepted the challenge by clicking here


I thought this was such a great idea and a way to get a head start on the reading for the year (since we are studing the BOM anyways) so what a better way to honor the Prophet, do our reading for the year and study the scriptures as we should all in one great cause!

I am putting our progress on the sidebard so we will be held accountable...
