I think we need to take into consideration that some are part member families or widows/widowers, and when we clear names we get those whom we know aren't gonig to be done in a timely matter. I have handfulls of male names who are waiting for some kind soul in my ward to help, but no one is willing. I have always supported the youth temple trips by supplying names therefore I have lots waiting for the rest of the ordinances to be completed. I'll keep doing it a family at a time, or picking up those dangling people. I am 3 1/2 hrs from my temple, and also a missionary, so my personal time to do ordinances is at a standstill at this time. It's great when you have a large family who are members, but a lot of us don't have that blessing and we struggle to get the work done, having it started is worth a lot for us.

This feature has been especially helpful for older widowed or single members of my ward.  Carol Riner Everett  Cary, NC
