chrismerchant Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 never been to this site before yet i already love it. something i am wondering though. let me explain my situation first. i have just recently been set apart in to melchidezek priesthood and i have been ordained an elder per melchizedek priesthood guidelines. so i currently do hold melchizedek priesthood. i still need to recieve my endowments as to complete my temple ordinances. in order to recieve endowments a person needs to posess a current temple recommend. i have recieved a 'limited use' recommend in which our bishop has asked we continue baptisms for the dead for the next month or so and then he will issue a 'full' temple recommend. a 'limited use' recommend is only for baptisms for the dead. an actual recommend is for any and all ordinances performed in temple. my wife is endowed and holds a current recommend. once our bishop issues me my 'full' recommend like my wife has in her posession what will i still need to do to recieve my endowments so that we can have our marriage sealed and solemnized in the temple we choose? i know about 'temple preparation' classes in which we need to take yet do i take them before recieving my endowments or do her and i take them after i have recieved my own endowments. i am unsure of what the actual process is for what i am going through. if anyone who reads this can please inform me then i would greatly appreciate it.

Guest coping Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 The temple prep classes are taken before you take out your endowments. Your wife can certainly take them with even though she is already endowed. You can be sealed to your wife the same day that you take out your endowments. I was able to go to my lil brother's sealing to my parents (he his adopted) immediately after I had just rec'd mine. You will need to take your marriage license/certificate with you. The temple prep class will answer a lot of your questions. What an exciting time this must be for you! Welcome to the site. Quote
georgia2 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 You will receive an endowment. This is a gift from HEavenly Father. Once you are endowed, you may be sealed to your wife. It is optimal to take the classes prior to your attending the temple for the first time. These classes will help prepare you spiritually to be able to have a better understanding of the awesome gift that you are about to receive. if I were you I would want my spouse to take the classes with me even though they may have already received their endowment. Your wife will also be treated like a queen when she attends with you as she is going to be sealed to you too! Quote
mothergoose10 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 Welcome. That's awesome you and your wife are making prep to be sealed in the temple. We took the classes 3x's. My husband had a hard time grasping everything and then the third time we had an incredible teacher who could really talk to him. We were married in the Nauvoo temple. It is all an amazing experience. Congrats. Quote

You still need a temple recommend and complete those temple covenants and ordinances. After that, make an appointment with the admin office in the temple for your sealing. If you haven't taken the Temple Prep class, I would highly recommend you take the course prior in going to the temple. Quote
