I got an email forwarded to me about this challenge to read The Book of Mormon in 97 days... 97 years might be a bit more realistic for me! I don't know if I will officially join up on the website, but I am going to take the challenge! Here is the email I got...
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:
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 :).

I'm TOTALLY going to do this.
The other day as I was pouring over a book, Ryan said to me, "You know, if you read the Book of Mormon as much as you read other books, you'd probably read it ten times a year."
Hmmm. Got me thinking. He's right! I mean, I DO read it, but sometimes it feels like a chore. And that makes me sad.
So this sounds like something I'm going to do!
It will give me a good chance to read the book of mormon all the way through quickly. Sometimes it is fun to do it that way because you get the whole story altogether.
