Thought I'd share this with you all. As we signed up for it in our
family tonight, there were over 16,000 that had done so already. They
were signing up at the rate of 10-20 per minute. Although the intention
was for everyone to start tonight, that's not really important. You can
start whenever you wish.

As most of you know, our beloved prophet, Gordon B. Hinckley passed
away at the age of 97. His funeral will be 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:
* Goto
www.hinckleychallenge.com
<
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
www.hinckleychallenge.com
<
http://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 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 :).
