LDS tools directory listing
Posted: Sun Jul 27, 2014 10:27 am
HI, I'm no longer a clerk, just a frustrated former clerk. A few years ago, my wife left the church and me. After the divorce was finished, I asked the clerk to please remove her name from my directory listing which was done---not sure at his doing or her leaving church and it finally caught up. I remarried a woman from Mexico and the custom is the wife often does not take husbands name. In this case she does here US, not there MX. We go to spanish ward.
So enter new family situation. At first we were listed separately. My name, her Mexico(maiden) name, on separate places in directory. I asked the clerk to please put just as 99% of all other married couples, me, and her in one line in LDS tools (wherever that is done). He then put me only, then when you click on me, she showed up as household member. Since no one in barrio could find her name, #, contact info, I was asked me if she was member, if we were still married, if we were ever married, etc. (because of this directory). I ask him again, He says that he doesn't know what to do so it will show up as ME, and HER (last name) in lds tools directory. Her new temple recommend has my last name, the bishop wants the families to be listed in US custom so people know who is with who, but all this was before my clerk calling so I cant tell him how to fix it. I know I have explained this in painful detail and am sorry but I want to be clear. Having said all this, what do I tell him so he can fix this? If I could do myself I would. Unfortunately I am forced to rely on someone to do it for me. If the US government can do it (social security, immigration etc) surely the church can do it. Thanks
