The Hinckley Challenge

2 weeks ago our beloved prophet, President Gordon B Hinckley passed away, aged 97. In our Relief Society lesson last Sunday about the importance of studying the scriptures it was mentioned that there has been a challenge set by a website owner in which to remember President Hinckley by reading the Book of Mormon in 97 days.

I decided that I would take on this challenge and Emily decided she would like to do this with me. We have been reading the Book of Mormon together reading a chapter each at a time. I have been really impressed with the questions that Emily has asked and her great understanding of the Book of Mormon even though this will be the first time that she has read every verse of every chapter of the book of mormon. She has read the Book of Mormon stories many times and has nearly completed her "Book of Mormon Discovery". These studies have given her a great basis of the stories and principles found in the Book of Mormon and I am really looking forward to the next 3 months of study of the book of Mormon study with her.
