On Sunday our Stake Presidency asked us to complete the following goals for the year 2009. Jordan and I are accepting the challenge and are going to try and complete these over the course of the year. Its good advice and thought I would share.

Here was our challenge:

"Through our obedience we will receive blessings and our testimonies will increase."

- 1,000,000 Names:
Each member 12 and over should index 40-50 names each week. Go to www.familysearchindexing.org to sign up to volunteer. Indexing 40-50 names only takes approximately 20-30 minutes.

- 1,000,000 Pages:
All individuals should read the Book of Mormon cover-to-cover in 2009.

- 1,000,000 Minutes:
Each family should do a minimum of 90 minutes of missionary work or 90 minutes of temple work each month.

- 1,000,000 Dollars:
Put our homes in order to reduce debt and secure a financial reserve. Each family should save $1,000.00 or reduce their consumer debt by $1,000.00.

- 1,000,000 Pounds:
Each family should have a one year supply of basic food storage.
