This weekend we said good bye to our Prophet. President Hinckley died of natural cause on the 27th of January. He was laid to rest on Saturday February 2nd. He was a great man, who spent his life serving the church. He will truly be missed. To honor him several people got together and put a challenge together which I have decided to participate in. The web site if you would like to do it as well is http://www.hinckleychallenge.com/. As of 1:07 pm 11676 people have also joined in the challenge. The challenge is to read the Book Of Mormon in 97 days. Because President Hinckley was 97 when he died. The web site gives you a place to help keep track of where you are. Also it tells you how many pages you have to read to be done by the 11th of May. You can also see the names and places where others doing the challenge live. Which was pretty neat as Willie and I where reading some of the names we saw Mitt Romney on there. Which we thought was pretty neat. Below is my graph, and I set up a separate account for the family so that I can read on my own as well as with the kids.
Anyway it is a nice goal and a neat way to honor such a great man.

He really did spend his life serving The Church, his WHOLE life! Have you ever read his biography ("The Biography of President Gordon B. Hinckley" by Sheri L. Dew)? It's actually a good read. Maybe you can look it up to start reading on May 12th? ;)
