clocks on green ordinance fields

January 4 in Temple

Why do ordinances reserved by other people and already shared with the Temple, not that long ago, get sent back to me to start all over and reserve? I am DISTANTLY related to these which are sent back. Some of them I have tried to re-share with the Temple because of my advancing years or because they were male names but that hasn't worked. This evening I tried one again to see if I could re-share to Temple and it seemed to be an option.

A sense of panic sets in because of my advancing years and lack of family members to share the work.

    There is no need to panic. What is happening is that the system identifies persons where ordinances have been shared with the Temple and matches them to other members who are related. That person can reserve the work in the same way as any other work shared with the Temple. But there is no need to do this and then the work remains shared with the Temple. So "re-sharing" does not work and is anyway unnecessary as the work is already shared.

    I am guessing that this system was introduced in an effort to speed up the processing of work shared with the Temple as currently such work, particularly endowments, can take many years to complete.
