I’m posting for a friend who was asking me about this and I didn’t have an answer. He got into some trouble and broke the law of chastity a few months ago. He’s met with his bishop, but they haven’t come to a decision about exactly what they’ll do yet. It will almost certainly be some informal or formal probation. Our good friend is getting sealed in the temple in a few months. It will have been about 6 months since the sin, but only a couple months since he confessed to his bishop. Do they usually take into account how long it has been since the sin, or how long since they came forward and confessed in situations like this? He’s wondering if there’s anyway he’ll be able to make it to our friends sealing. Thanks!
