In 2015, I had an experience that I'll always remember. I was serving as a volunteer answering feedback on the web site for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. One day I received a request for help that I knew I had to answer. A man in his late 80's wanted assistance finding an article, "Journey to the Temple", in the December 1970 New Era Church magazine. It was about the experience he and his wife, now gone, had of driving their two small children across the vast Australian outback following just a dirt track, so that they could be sealed in the New Zealand Temple.
I could see how much this older man wanted to read again about this special experience he shared with his wife and children so many years before. I also knew that the issues of the old Improvement Era were not available on the Church site. There were some archives somewhere, but I didn't know how to find them. I also felt that this man would not be able to follow some complicated navigation to find the article himself.
I had a strong feeling that I must find this article for this older man, but how could I do this with my limited computer savvy? I prayed and began typing and clicking on my computer. Soon his article miraculously appeared before me. I quickly sent him the link before it disappeared. He was so grateful, and I was so amazed! I never was able to find that site again. I realized at that moment that the Lord would help me do whatever things He wanted done. It didn't matter that it was far beyond my abilities; all I needed to do was try.
