from BYU devotional

Just heard while exercising this a.m.:

the year: 2005

the challenge: to finish the Book of Mormon by the end of the year

issued by: President Hinckley

A BYU professor was near the front of the plane on a long flight from Asia. All was quiet, as it was night, late, and the passengers were sound asleep. The professor, however, had his overhead light on, and was reading the Book of Mormon to complete the challenge by the end of December.

He felt a light tap on his shoulder and looked up to see the flight attendant. She leaned down to him and said, "Where are you?"

"Mosiah," he replied.

"I'm in Ether," said the attendant. Then she added, "Look behind you."

The professor turned around to see several other overhead lights on.

"They're all reading the Book of Mormon," said the flight attendant.

Loved that story.

Loved that challenge.

Loved how that sentence "Where are you?" was spoken all over town, church, stores, etc.

And, while we're loving things; I love the Book of Mormon. (I'm in Mosiah.)
