Good afternoon, a sister in our ward needs to send a letter to the widow of her brother to get permission to do temple ordinances for him. This sister is the only church member. And her parents are deceased. Would any of you have a sort of template or sample letter to give her a start with what to write to her? -- Groetjes Peter http://familyrecordfinder.com/

I agree that fasting and prayer is very helpful. I found some half siblings about a year ago and one of them had passed away. I prayed much before sending off a note to the woman who was his wife before he died (she had since remarried) which basically said: "I guess you know that I am Kenneth's half sister. It has been fun for me to get to know my long lost family. I just wish I would have known Kenneth before he died. Everyone says what a good man he was. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints also know as Mormons. I would like to ask your permission to submit Kenneth's name to the Temple. In the Temple we perform sacred ordinances for our loved ones who have passed away. It would be my gift to him, and I would be honored. I will respect whatever you say with no hard feelings. Thank you, Cindy" She was sweet and gave me her blessing. I also said much the same thing to the wife of a cousin over the phone and she also gave her permission. I think we don't need to go into detail and I think the word ordinance is better to use that mentioning baptism. This is just been my experience. I wish her the best.
