Can You Take The Challenge?

Some of you may have already received this through email, but if you have not I wanted to post it here as well. I think that this would be a wonderful goal and challenge. I would personally like to add to it, trying to make it to the temple once a month. We are pretty regular about going, but I want to make a conscience effort of going once a month. Hopefully many of you will also take this challenge on!! This is the email I received-

As most of you know, our beloved prophet, Gordon B. Hinckley passed away at the age of 97. His funeral was on Saturday, February 2nd.

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 http://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 http://www.hinckleychallenge.com/.

We would like this challenge to be heard all around the world! We would love to see over 1 million pages of the Book of Mormon read by the time this challenge has ended. Do you want to show your support? Do you want to follow the prophet? Do you want to get rid of all of your excuses for not reading and become a warrior? Then join me in this challenge!!!

We are going to spread this throughout the news media (TV and radio) and we've already contacted Fox news, KSL, CBS, and ABC. But we cannot get the word out to everyone without your help! Please forward this on to EVERYONE in your address book. Time is of the essence!! This will be the one forwarded message that everyone will be happy to get :).

I did hear about this from a couple of other friends... I'm excited to try to get through the Book of Mormon again. Good luck!
