120-DAY BOOK OF MORMON CHALLENGE

The mission started 120-Day Book of Mormon Challenge on August 27, 2018. We will read about five pages per day to end on Christmas Day. President Thompson has asked that our missionaries write in the margins, or keep a journal, of the thoughts, feelings, and impressions from each page as read.
