The point is that with "shared" names which are sent to the temple district you ARE working on local names submissions. Now they are just creating another layer. I'm still not happy and wondering if this will double the time necessary for my names to get done. I lost 200 cards when I sent them to the temple with a high councilor for a stake YSA baptism years ago. That's why I exclusively have used the "shared" button over the years. This just seems like a good way to lose cards to me. Not all high councilors are created equally :-) Michele In a message dated 5/15/2013 10:19:01 A.M.

We have a large Temple the Portland Temple. I think it would help us draw closer as a Stake. I would be delighted to work on Stake names as well as my own. Of course I know we need to do what is best. On Wed, May 15, 2013 at 9:34 AM, Shanna Jones <shannasjones@msn.com> wrote: > Names released to the temple system in 2009 and before have a glitch.
