Ordinances like baptism are necessary, but could not have been received by those of our families who lived on the Earth during periods of time, in which the gospel ordinances were not available.  Therefore God, being fair, instituted a plan in which the ordinances could be performed in their behalf by later generations who would serve as proxies for them.   Those who lived according to God's will, and wished to accept the ordinances that were done in their behalf, would have a valid claim to their benefits.  To learn more about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints, click here. 

Coordination is necessary in order to avoid the duplication of temple ordinances

   Curt and Beth Waite have accepted the assignment as Temple Ordinance Administrators for the Western Association of Leavitt Families.  As individual  families become fully organized, with all officers  in place, the Waites are on hand to train the temple ordinance administrators in the various families, so that the work will be coordinated in ways never before possible.
 

   They have created the WALF Temple Names Registry, which includes family names prepared from all  sources at their disposal, including those provided from the Genealogy and Family History Committee. 
 

   From the names registry, they distribute the waiting ordinance work to families, who will complete the work and return the information to the Waites.  The data will then be entered into the Leavitt Family genealogical database. 
 

   The genealogical data as shown on the WALF website does not indicate ordinances, but the complete database is kept intact at several locations, and protected against loss.
