97 Days

I got an e-mail from a friend and this is what the beginning said,

"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). 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!!! "

I am going to become a warrior. I am ashamed to admit this but I have never read the entire Book of Mormon all the way through. Now it my time. I love Pres. Hinckley and all he stood for. I am going to follow in his example and begin this challange today. I am a day behind because it started yesterday so I read 10 pages. I extent this challange out to all of you. I know our testimonies will be strengthened because of it.
