Expired Temple Recommend

Our ward has our own session for Ward Temple Night - the first Wednesday of every month at 6:30 p.m.
June 1, 2016
The bishopric had made a special invitation for those who were involved with Moroni's Quest to come to the session - tribe leaders, youth leaders, and parents of youth.
We went to the recommend desk and Brother Fisher handed back his recommend and said you better get it renewed soon.  We started walking in, and Austin looked at his recommend. It had expired the day before. But they let us through so he went and changed.
We went to the chapel and he just couldn't do it. He went to talk to Brother Zemp (his first counselor who is also the Temple Recorder), and he told him the work would be exempt and he shouldn't come if it is expired.   So Austin left.
We had a nice session. I ended up sitting by Martha in the last room, and she asked if everything was okay with my family. I told her that his recommend had expired yesterday. She had been worrying.

So Austin left and called President Low. By the time we came out of our session, Austin had a current temple recommend.

Morale of the story - check the dates on your temple recommend.
