Missing Ordinances
My distant ancestor, Sarah Ann Wiltshire (GM91-1JC) had her baptism and confirmation completed in 2008. She was sealed to her spouse in 2018. However, her initiatory and endowment are listed as available, but they must have been completed in order for her to be sealed to her spouse. Therefore, I believe there was an error and they are simply not listed on Family Tree.

Hi Nicole.
Regarding the Initiatory and Endowment ordinances not showing for Sarah Ann Wiltshire (GM91-1JC - the database does not show these ordinances as being completed.
A previous answer may also be true for this:
Things to remember regarding ordinances
· Whenever possible, a couple should be endowed before being sealed to each other. However, it is not required in order to perform the sealing to spouse.
· When vicarious ordinances are performed out of sequence, they become effective only after the prerequisite ordinances are completed.

How did this happen? It could be that the Sealing to Spouse was gained through Ordinance Ready. (See https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/where-does-ordinances-ready-get-names for details).
Also likely - perhaps more so is - this was an ordinance which was completed from the old extraction program. I think the reservation was on the Temple List for a long time, and has only just now been completed.
So please go ahead and complete the remaining ordinances for Sarah Ann Wiltshire (GM91-1JC
