  3. Sister McHood, is there a way to count miles for temple workers in your ward? A typical shift is 6 hours once a week and facilitates the work being done by ward and stake members.

    1. Yes! Let's assign 2 miles for every hour of service done. (so, one 6 hour shift can count for 12 miles) Let me know if you have any other questions! Thank you so much for encouraging this important work!

    2. Thanks so much Sister McHood! Is there a place to record this? Maybe under ordinances?
