Something i thought you would be interested in... and that President Hinckley would be proud of...

I was thinking of how I could honor President Hinckley's 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 That's today! have an FHE lesson on the Book of Mormon and begin your reading. 5.47 Pages per day, its easy!
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.

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 an d 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 :).
