Temple Reservations

Vala K.Johnson

I am becoming discouraged, as I am finding more than just one or two close family names that are reserved to the Temple - by very distant cousins. Then when I reserve lthe name for my family to do, we have only 90 days to complete the ordinances. It would appear to me that since the 300 name limit came into being, sharing names with the Temple is the way to circumvent that limit.

Here is a fairly new and well written article from the Help Center that may give you some insight as to why we needed the 300 name limit, and the benefit of sharing names with the temple. It is all part of "hastening the work". We hope this helps.
