Challenges

Okay, so the holidays are passing and now is the time to start thinking about goals for the new year.... how about making some of the aforementioned challenges some of your goals for the new year? Then you will feel good about completing the challenge, get a prize, and complete your new year resolutions! It's a win-win-win situation! Oh, and even if you are not planning on going to the reunion you are welcome to participate in all of the challenges. So here is a review of the challenges so far.

1. Memorize "The Family: A Proclamation to the World"
2. Read the Book of Mormon
3. Emergency Preparedness Plan
4. Jared is going to challenge us to do something.

So are there any other challenges to add? You also don't have to attending the reunion to make a challenge. And the grandkids can make challenges too! And that don't have to be churchy type things.

Updates

So how are you all doing on your challenges? Are there any others out there? Not that you need to be making them really soon, but within the next month or two would be preferable. I know what I am going to do for those who complete my challenge, but it is a surprise. I hope those who complete the challenge will like it. But the best part of the challenges is that they are things that benefit us, just by doing them.... there isn't really a need for a prize, but they make it even better.

So far I've memorized almost the first half of the Proclamation. Woohoo! I practice it every day as I'm driving to and from work. I am also slowly getting through the Book of Mormon. I was wanting to finish it and then re-read it again before the reunion, but I'm not sure if that will happen.

As for Trina's challenge, I have not started yet. I think I need to get through finals, and then I'll look at it over Christmas break.

I hope everyone is doing well. I miss all of you! Yes, even you person who doubts that I mean that.
