I wish we all were not surprised by this glitch in the transition.. but some of you are. It was announced in November, that there might be a patch to transform the IIGI ordinances to nFS, obviously that has not happened. It is frustrating I know, but we must be patient and realize that there will be some duplication during the transition stage, and that this stage may go on for sometime. Someone told me it might be as late as December before the last Temple in Utah is on nFS.. Even then for those with early Church members in their family history, there will be LOTS of problems managing and sifting through all those duplications. I give nFS about 3 years before it is out of it's beta stage. Give it time, and realize that we are better off than others in the Church. about half the Church still struggles with PAF 4!
