The Temple Ticker

<ul>
<li>Temple Operations
<ul>
<li>Walk-Ins Welcome at some temples
<ul>
<li>At some temples, you will be able to do ordinances for the dead without an appointment.</li>
<li>&#8220;Allowing members to reserve temple appointments has provided many advantages, including reduced wait times for patrons and ensuring members can participate in the ordinances (ceremonies) as they choose. However, there are situations when members desire to attend a temple without having to set an appointment.&#8221;</li>
<li>You will receive an email if your temple is open to walk-ins</li>
