At Zone Conference last week we were given a challenge by our Mission President, President Higgins. It's a Book of Mormon challenge.
We were to start on February 8th and read for 60 days ending on April 8th. We were also given a book mark that shows everyday where our reading should be.
The part of the challenge I really like is we got a new paperback Book of Mormon and were told to take two different colored marking pencils and mark 2 things:
1) Mark each reference to Jesus Christ (any of His names or pronouns referring to Him
2) Mark His words (spoken by Him or by prophets when they say: "Thus saith the Lord"
And then at the end of the challenge (April 8th) we are to have a Mission wide fast about the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon and to read Moroni 10:3-5
The reason I'm putting this in the blog is because I have been doing this for a few days now and I LOVE IT! It really changes things, the way you read, comprehension, etc.... when you read with a purpose.
If you feel so inclined, I would encourage all my family and friends to do the same challenge. It's only 60 days, and then read Moroni 10:3-5 and see if your testimony has been strengthened by reading this book.
