I didn't ask because I'm rather new to the church. I was baptized last November which puts in sharper contrast the weirdness of the situation. The first presidency has granted special permission to receive endowment before my year at the discretion of the stake president and bishop. I wasn't sure if I was allowed to ask him why about the new requirements. I wasn't sure what the proper way to go about that was. I didn't want it to come across like I was questioning his judgement. I'm happy to do whatever it takes to receive endowment but I just don't know how long this process should take.

I was prompted to work on this attending the Temple in July. I really want to be able to serve in the Temple and there's a dozen other reasons. I have been very prayerful about it and everytime I go to the Temple and ask what to work on, this is the answer. This is the next step to progress, I've been so excited about this. It's the one thing I want most in the world. Endowment is really important to me.

It's just that this has lasted 4 months. He said I only had to do temple prep and my calling and church meetings and then he changed his mind a week later to him having an issue with something else. It just seems like I can't do anything right. I've read a dozen temple books and talked to my hometeachers and my visiting teachers. I did temple prep and the gospel principles and gospel doctrine books. I just don't see what else I can do to prove I'm ready. My grades are good and I'm happy to show them but I just want some help understanding.

Hey so I'm LDS and I've been trying to receive my endowment but my Bishop keeps changing his mind. How do I handle this? He said I would be able to go through, and then he requested temple prep, and then all church meetings and doing my calling, and now he needs me to have good grades and prove to him that I have good grades. I just don't see how it's relevant. He's changed his mind so many times that I just don't know what to do. I really want to go through and I've been working so hard. He knows everything I've done preparing and it just seems to me that this isn't relevant. He signed my recommend!!! I should be receiving endowment on Friday!!!
