Why don't we endow children when they turn 8 years old?

It's great! A mission is an amazing opportunity to grow up and leave childish things behind. Let's give them the best chance for that to happen by supporting them.
No. Too much is at stake. They must be worthy.
Thats why we have recommend interviews.
Thats why we have baptismal interviews.
Thats why we have priesthood interviews.
Thats why we have mission interviews. Repentance and worthiness must be sufficient.

I propose that as we redesign our chapels, we also redesign the sacrament tray to better reflect sacred ancient symbolism.
The sacrificial altars of the ancient tabernacle were constructed of acacia wood overlaid with bronze, with carrying poles of the same wood. Horns stood at each corner, upon which the Levitical priests sprinkled the blood of the offering. This was in similitude of the blood of the Messiah that covers the sins of those who repent.
A sacrament tray, thoughtfully designed with similar materials and form could make the covenant more tangible. As we partake, we renew our willingness to “take upon us the name of the Son.” The tray acts as a visible reminder of the endowment yet to come. For those who have not yet received the temple garment, the horns would make the promises of that covering feel more meaningful and immediate, helping them look forward with greater anticipation to the day they enter the temple.
Good afternoon @GerritWGong,
Are the bretheren more concerned about sister's perpetuating false doctrine or those like me who try to correct the course and cleanse the inner vessel?
Respectfully, if I am in the wrong I would like to know and am willing to change.
Watching a sister missionary describe how a sinner doesnt need to repent because everyone has agency.
