Temple
The Missionary Temple Experience
When attending the temple please make sure you bring your temple recommend with you. For elders, please bring your baptism clothing to initiatory, endowment and sealing sessions, if you have them (pants, shirt, and tie).
Attending the temple is an important part of your MTC training experience. During your on-campus MTC experience you will:
Participate in or observe all temple ordinances, including Baptism/Confirmation, Initiatory, Endowment, and Sealing. These will be scheduled for you by the MTC Scheduling Department.
Prepare a name to take to the temple.
The duration of your MTC stay, 3, 6, or 9 weeks, will determine your temple schedule.
3 Week Temple Schedules
Missionaries who are on a three-week schedule will attend the temple during class time, not on preparation day. An email will be sent to each missionary with the date and time for these specific appointments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to bring my own temple clothing?
For Elders: Please bring your baptism clothing to initiatory, endowment and sealing sessions, if you have them (pants, shirt, and tie). If you do not have temple clothing, the temple will provide it for you.
For Sisters: The temple will provide temple clothing for you.
When do I need to arrive at the temple?
Arrive 30 minutes before the ordinance begins. This is to provide plenty of time for issuing clothing for all missionaries in the session, as well as time for participating in a new experience.
Do I wear my name tag during the temple ordinances?
Please do not wear your missionary name tag during temple ordinances.
How do I bring a family to the temple and where do I print the name card?
Preparing a name to bring to the temple is easy! Using the Ordinances Ready feature of the Family Search app you can easily see what temple ordinances your ancestors need. Click here for instructions on Ordinances Ready. After finding family names, you can print them in the computer labs in the S1 building room C-122 and C-124, or in the T4 computer labs. You may share family names with other members of your district. If you desire to do ordinances for your own family names, please come to the temple with your family cards already printed. You will not be able to print them at the temple. Also, the temple is unable to return your family cards, but you can reprint them later, if desired.
