Penrose: His Life and Thought''. This is probably the best work, that would help us towards covering more of Penrose. He was one of the most prolific writers in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the late 19th cnetury, and a moving force in Utah politicis in the late 19th-century. Worldcat only lists two copies of this work by Godfrey, one at the BYU library, the other at the Utah State University library. It is not available on Amazon. I did find a BYU Studies article by Godfrey on Penrose's British mission years.

I found a biography of Willard Richards. It was published in 1957 by the University of Utah press. One drawback though is the author though she used lots of sources, does not reference them super well. She also goes beyond the sources a little including some notes on the thoughts of Willard's father on what may be the day Willard was baptized in the local congregational church. <br /><br />What would be nice is if someone could find some better sourcing for the article on Charles W.

There was another family already in there, and some others, so I stayed until we all had finished the stack of names we'd brought. Took about two hours but we got through 40 to 60 names.<br /><br />As far as endowments, I haven't had a chance to go since the recent change, but my sister and brother in law have been, and they said the wait was one to two hours to get into the session in Ogden. They went the week after the announcement, though.Johnathan Reese Whitinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05271748150823074792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786908254617003646.post-76339191261893285982019-02-02T13:07:12.939-07:002019-02-02T13:07:12.939-07:00When my wife and I were living in the Mount Timpan...When my wife and I were living in the Mount Timpanogos Utah Temple district, that temple was desperate for additional ordinance workers to help with the degree of activity there. While weeknights and Saturdays were always very busy, the two shifts on which I worked (Thursday mid-day and Friday evening) provided two very different scenarios. For the former, the rooms were never very full, and my shift leaders, with the approval of the temple presidency, would periodically instruct us to wait on starting some of those sessions until there was a more significant number of people. But there were also times on Thursday when sessions were run with a smaller group. I remember a few that had 20 or less patrons, and there was also one particular session I can remember when there were less than 10 patrons.<br /><br />By contrast, Friday evenings (and also Saturday) saw the Mount Timpanogos Utah Temple swamped more often than not. I have referenced previously how a couple of the busiest Friday evenings in that temple's history. Two different scenarios applied in such instances: the first and more favored approach was to have one or two extra sessions to deal with the amount of patrons. During such nights, my wife and I only returned home at around 11:00 or 11:30 PM. The second approach, which, if I recall correctly, we only used once or twice when it was deemed safe enough and more effective to do so, saw the final session of the night filled to overflowing. One particular session, which I have referenced before, went ahead with 115-120 patrons with the approval and sanction of the fire marshal, who instructed us on how to handle that while maintaining safety practices for all concerned.<br /><br />But in addition to that, not only did the Mount Timpanogos Temple maintain activity at such a level that likely led to the announcement of the Saratoga Springs Utah Temple, but we often encountered patrons in attendance who had originally been in line at the Provo Utah Temple, but opted to leave that line and try our temple. And there were more than a few occasions I can remember where we had sufficient patrons waiting to the point where the chapel would be filled to capacity, and there were additional patrons waiting in the marriage waiting room, with the line continuing down both halls leading to the grand staircases, and, at the bottom of those sets of stairs, patrons were packed in from the dressing room entrances, on and up.<br /><br />Every report I have seen seems to indicate that the Provo Utah Temple remains jam-packed, even with the 2016 dedication of the Provo City Center Temple. Once the Saratoga Springs Utah Temple is built and dedicated, that will ease some of the high activity levels at the Mount Timpanogos Teple, but given the redistricting that seems likely to happen, when that temple is dedicated, it is possible that many of the stakes here in Orem will be reassigned again to the Mount Timpanogos Utah Temple.<br /><br />I hope these insights and this information is helpful to all who read it.James G.

Since it has reopened, every time I have been (which usually a Friday morning or weekday evening) it is generally at least half to 3/4 full to almost entirely full. A couple months ago I went on an early Saturday morning and it was packed. I had to wait to attend the next session since the one I had planned on attending was completely full. The next session that I ended up being in was completely full as well and there were several people who had to wait, like I did, to attend the next session. That was before the recent changes when sessions were running every 30 minutes. Now, they are back to running every 20 minutes. I imagine with sessions that often, there are bound to be some that are busy and others that are less so. Depends on timing and when people get there.<br /><br />Yesterday, I attended a session at the Oquirrh Mountain Temple with a friend in my ward and it was nearly full as well. This was in the mid-afternoon. By the time I finished and was preparing to leave, I overheard some people mentioning that the later afternoon sessions were filling up and people arriving were already planning for the evening sessions.Eric S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10166885374836645257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786908254617003646.post-6548739235430059422019-02-02T11:34:27.812-07:002019-02-02T11:34:27.812-07:00The Provo City Center Temple used to be my assigne...The Provo City Center Temple used to be my assigned temple and it really strugggles for workers because so many of the members in its district are students that only live there for a semester or two and then move into out of the district. That was the case for me. The sessions I attend at the Provo temple are almost always at least 3/4 full. I noticed that they were slightly more full in January after the statement from the first presidency about some changes- hopefully it stays that way.David Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16633681311966766482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786908254617003646.post-20539514215063152212019-02-02T11:22:15.531-07:002019-02-02T11:22:15.531-07:00I attended a 10 AM endowment session yesterday at ...I attended a 10 AM endowment session yesterday at the Denver Colorado Temple.

The old extraction program and other members, unknown to you, having those persons as common ancestors.<br /><br />From about 1967 to 2016, extraction was used to provide names for members to do in the temples. At its peak until the late 90s the ratio was 80% extracted names to 29% member submitted names. After the late 90s that proportion evened out then tipped towards member names. After 2015 everything has been member names since although Provo had some backlog batches of extracted names come through on occasion but that may be cleared out by now.<br /><br />Heard that St. George since the first of the year has seen nearly every session full. I went to Provo City Center roughly three weeks ago on a Tuesday and did the 2pm session which was half full. Took longer for the men to finish up due to the ongoing issue of finding workers. <br /><br />Utah temples are busiest after about 4pm weekdays and all day Saturdays generally anyway.<br /><br />Saw reports of other temples being packed to the gills but that only gave Saturday information.

I eliminated many thousands of duplicates (many names that I was frankly surprised that had already been done by someone else), and after divvying out what I could to relatives and ward members, I submitted the rest to the temple system. I created spreadsheets to track each name and I followed up to see when and where the ordinances were completed. It was fun to track the 100+ temples that completed the work. The only temples that weren't used were those in Asia and Ukraine, presumably because my names used the Roman alphabet? I seem to recall it took about 3 months for baptisms, confirmations, initiatories, and spousal sealings (at that time, the temple system did not do sealings in order) and about 6 months for female endowments, and one year for male endowments, and another 6 months to a year for parental sealings. Later, circa 2012, everything really ground to a halt, as the ordinances were only performed in my assigned temple (which alternated between Mesa, Billings, Phoenix, Bismarck, and back to Billings). I still have names that have been waiting 3+ years to be completed, so these new changes of going back to using the entire temple network is exciting.Gnesileahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17757196258988210760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786908254617003646.post-88614618531513626942019-02-02T01:16:59.772-07:002019-02-02T01:16:59.772-07:00@Unknown:

I'm not a member of the Alt-Right, if that's who you're referring to by the term, "conservative base."<br /><br />I do have many conservative political leanings, and many liberal ones as well, and for the first time in my life, I didn't vote Republican in the most recent national presidential election. <br /><br />I have many friends who are immigrants to this country. Relatives, too. As I said above, my sister-in-law is Brazilian. Also my cousin married a Nigerian, her brother married a Filipina, their sister married a Mexican, and their other sister married a Samoan (very multicultural family now). ;)<br /><br />On my Spanish-speaking mission, I taught mostly immigrants and refugees from Mexico, Cuba, Central and South America, etc. <br /><br />So, I don't wish to be misrepresented as having some sort of bias against immigrants (illegal, legal, refugee, asylum-seekers or otherwise) when I use the term "border crisis." <br /><br />When I used the term "border crisis," I was referring to our nation's current situation with dealing how people immigrate across our southern border with Mexico. I was particularly referring to the recent caravans of asylum-seekers coming from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. <br /><br />The situation, as I see it, is how to help these people be successfully naturalized somewhere, whether it's here in the U.S., or in Mexico, or back in their home countries, while at the same time protecting our own citizens. <br /><br />The Trump point of view, as I see it, is to treat refugees, asylum-seekers, and illegal immigrants as invaders, and to try to turn this country into some sort of medieval fortress, hoping that will keep them out. I see that plan as another Great Wall of China - doomed to fail.<br /><br />The situation with our border with Mexico (whether exaggerated or not) has also been one of the main disputation points leading to the recent government shutdown. <br /><br />So, when I use the term "crisis," I'm using one of its dictionary definitions, as "a time when a difficult or important decision must be made."<br /><br />The important decision, as I see it, is how to better respond to people wanting to come into our country, even if there is a larger number than we're used to. Wars, refugees, and economic crises are a fact of life, we can't pretend the U.S. is an island that's only for the people who are already here. Many of our ancestors were immigrants, too (except my Native American great grandmother, of course). ;)<br /><br />Increased border security? Yes, but in ways that are effective. Not some cartoon answer like building a giant wall. Reevaluating our citizenship process? Yes. Offering more work or education visas? Probably. Definitely protecting children through programs like DACA. Better cooperation between us and our southern neighbors on how we all can take responsibility for the issue? Definitely.<br /><br />Sorry about taking the topic away briefly from Church growth, but I thought I needed to at least clarify my point of view. <br /> Johnathan Reese Whitinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05271748150823074792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786908254617003646.post-26006894551845026402019-02-01T23:23:49.436-07:002019-02-01T23:23:49.436-07:00@TempleRick

However, I currently have about 300+ of my own that I'm working on. At least it'll keep us busy doing Temple work until the Millenium, right? ;)<br /><br />But seriously folks, I appreciate James Andersen clarifying the rework of the Ordinances Ready program, as I hadn't known they were going to update the system so soon. I've seen a few of my names go through for baptisms and initiatories in the last few months, with a few more being printed each week. None of the endowments I've submitted to the temple system have been done yet, but I only started submitting last year. <br /><br />I'm actually picking up where my mother left off. She was a career genealogist who submitted names up to the day she died (which I discovered by researching my grandmother's line on familysearch). Several of the names she submitted to the temple system have been completed in the last few years (she passed away 5 years ago), and I'm following up with the ones that are still incomplete - doing several of the sealings myself already. <br /><br />You've probably already done this, Unknown, but one thing that's helped me has been to casually shop some of the printed endowment names around to ward member friends every few months or so. When they give me back the finished temple card, I just ask if they'd like to do another one for me, and I give them a few months to do it before asking them about it again. That's been working pretty well. I've also begun to contact closer relatives and friends of mine and email them the names through the Ordinances Ready system itself, and I've had a few takers. <br /><br />I'm guessing if you're contacting us through this blog to get the names done that you've already tried my suggestions, but I thought it was worth mentioning. <br /><br />Hopefully, the update to the system will help get your and my names out there to the world to be finished more quickly. All the new temples being built should help, too. ;)Johnathan Reese Whitinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05271748150823074792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786908254617003646.post-82957357931264545572019-02-01T22:57:48.379-07:002019-02-01T22:57:48.379-07:00Unknown, I share the sentiment you voiced about th...Unknown, I share the sentiment you voiced about the border crisis. Unlike many who are all-too-willing to buy into anything the US president says or does, I think that the particular "crisis" in relation to our border security was made moot by the fact that several government workers have shared their belief that being held hostage by the government over border security was not worth the pain and financial hardship it caused them and their families. I will leave my comments on this at that.<br /><br />Rick, I have said before and will say again that it is awesome that the land for the Pocatello Idaho Temple plot was owned by your family. I know there are several pieces of land around the world which have been held in reserve by the Church for periods of various years before a temple is announced for such areas. But perhaps a combination of having land set aside for that purpose and the fact that the Church has a good relationship with most governmental leaders will enable many other temples to have the construction process begin in less than a year for many of the locations that have had/will have a temple announced. And that is exciting to see.<br /><br />As I mentioned in another comment on this thread or elsewhere on this blog, if many of the Nelson-era temples are planned to be on the smaller side of the sliding scale for temple sizes, that opens a very real prospect that we may be in for at least another unprecedented increase in the number of operating temples within a very short period of time, which, from all that I've heard, is almost definitely going to occur. I am hoping and I fully believe that President Nelson may use one of his talks during either the April or October General Conference to detail his plans more fully, and that, whether he does that or not, we are sure to see many more temples announced during those two General Conferences. I look forward to seeing how all of that unfolds. Thanks again, everyone!James G.

That is now 5 temples which have had or are planned for groundbreakings this year. Add on Abidjan last November and that is 6 six since last conference. If Cape Verde is possibly expecting a groundbreaking announcement soon, I wouldn't be surprised if the design is similar to both Yigo and San Juan, but with a little exterior differences.<br /><br />Chris, I think it is certainly possible that Elder Andersen may have been scouting some potential location for a temple in Vienna. Several of the cities that had temples announced recently were visited by President Nelson or another one of the Apostles some months prior to the temple announcements.Eric S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10166885374836645257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786908254617003646.post-29017058569917040052019-02-01T22:41:56.686-07:002019-02-01T22:41:56.686-07:00It is horrible that the mass deletions of articles...It is horrible that the mass deletions of articles about the Church, its' leaders, and its' doctrine continues to occur on Wikipedia. When I last checked in there (earlier today to edit the list of temples of the Church), I was surprised to see so many deleted articles reported on my watchlist. Since it seems that appealing for more time to fix the issues with the articles as they now stand won't do any good, the one other ace in the sleeve that I know of is to appeal to the powers-that-be on either the admin noticeboard or the Wikimedia foundation's page. That approach may be a good route to pursue. If those of us who still edit Wikipedia can use the recent deletion discussions as an example of clear bias on the part of those nominating such articles for deletion, we might be able to prove such deletions were done with prejudice, and without any attempts at good-faith dialogue that would enable the articles to be kept as the "problems" with them are in the process of being repaired. That is what I would suggest trying next.<br /><br />Chris, as you are probably aware, the UK is comprised of the nations of Great Britain, Scotland, and Ireland. I have mentioned previously that Vienna Austria and Edinburgh Scotland are on my list of temples that could be announced next April. Budapest Hungary could fit that category as well, according to my research. But additionally, just prior to both the April and October General Conferences held last year, members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles were on assignment in lands where some of the 19 temples were later announced. So it would not surprise me in any way to learn that, while in Europe, President Nelson might have asked Elder Andersen to scout out potential sites for future temples in Edinburgh and Vienna.<br /><br />We may never find out whether or not that is the case. But what I do know is that for two temples announced during any General Conference to have a site identified, approval granted, and a groundbreaking scheduled within less than 8 months is almost unheard of. We also know that both the Yigo Guam and San Juan Puerto Rico Temples will be on the smaller side of the temple-building spectrum, and that the construction of each is anticipated to take roughly two years. So it appears President Nelson is attacking the queue of announced temples from both sides in a very methodical way. And while we have seen 5 groundbreakings that have occurred/are scheduled to occur thus far in 2019, my research shows that there may possibly be 1 or 2 additional temple groundbreakings at minimum, which are likely to be held by or before the end of June, and if the other half of the year is that outstanding or moreso, then the queue will be much clearer before the end of this year, even if (as I anticipate) several other temples are announced both in April and October of this year.<br /><br />For those interested, I have provided more personal insight and analysis into the ongoing temple developments over the course of 3 of the 4 blog posts I composed and published on my blog during this afternoon and evening.
