Pick one of the challenges, or make up your own. These challenges certainly might not be easy, but the point of this is to stretch yourself and do more than what you’ve done before.
1. Figure out the highest number of times you’ve read or listened to the Book of Mormon in one year’s time, and double that amount.
2. Take one hour of each day (no skipping, and no cutting time back) and diligently study the Book of Mormon. You may veer off and study other things as well, but the Book of Mormon should be your launchpad. If you only get 1/2 hour one day, make it up the next day by doing 1 1/2 hours.
3. Give away at least 2 copies of the Book of Mormon a month for the entire year. You can be creative, and give them with a testimony, story, or challenge to members of the church as well if you like, but you must give away one a week for a year.
4. Memorize a chapter a month for a year.
