See if someone will make contact with me

I'm trying to find an old friend. I'd like to find him and thank him for the advice he gave me before I went on my mission to Germany.

This is a user support forum for church technology, so it's unlikely anyone here will be able to help.

In you case I'd try searching for him on Facebook, LinkedIn etc.

If you can remember the area where he lived, you could look up the ward where he currently is on the meetinghouse locater ( https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/maps/meetinghouses/ ), and send a message to the local Bishop. Privacy rules will stop him passing along the person's info if they are still there, but he could pass along your info to the person.

What advice did he give you (if it's not too personal)? I imagine if he saw his own advice, he might recognize it. If it helped you, it might help someone else.
