Writing can be put into computers and used to get the names into the temples and to keep information on the temple records. The temple record is a computer file, so someone must enter the written information into the computer. Once it is entered and the temple work has been completed, we can search the computer file to learn what has been done for our ancestors. | Writing can be put into computers and used to get the names into the temples and to keep information on the temple records.
