New name for Limited-use Temple Recommends and process for male members

Post by BrainClay »

As I recall, there is a new name for Limited-use Temple Recommends. Does anyone recall what the new name is?

Also, am I correct in recalling that for male members, MLS will not allow a Limited-use Temple Recommend to be issued until the Aaronic Priesthood ordination has been recorded in MLS?

I'm preparing a New Convert Temple Checklist for my ward council to help streamline the process. Our goal is to get new converts to the temple within two months of baptism. This is actually a LOT harder than it sounds. I'm trying to "grease the skids" so everyone knows what to do when and get the order right so it goes quickly and smoothly.,

In the spirt of "teaching a man to fish", I'd suggest reading the General Handbook, Section 26. You'll find those answers, and likely find answers to other questions that should be asked.

I would recommend using LCR instead of MLS (if you really still are using MLS).

Also, if you look in LCR under "Reports" => "Temple Recommend Status", the "Recommend Type" option lists both "Temple Recommend" and "Proxy Baptisms and Confirmations". "Limited Use" recommends still seem to be a thing, but only for sealings (as shown in LCR under "Membership" => "Limited-Use Temple Recommend for Sealings"). Maybe they should call them "Single-Use Recommends"... ;)

Excellent, thank you for your answers. Yes, we are using LCR, not MLS! And yes, all my questions were answered in section 26.
