Curtis went on his mission to Carlsbad California and since we were right by all of his old mission areas we decided to take a day and have him take us on a tour.
We went to the temple that was in his mission first. The San Diego temple is absolutely beautiful. Before the trip, we had tried to find someone to watch the kids so we could go through a session, but we were not able to find anyone. So, we walked around the outside and took lots of pictures.
Here are some pictures of my handsome boys...
While we were taking pictures, a gentleman came up to us and offered to take some family pictures for us. Very cool!
Later on we drovfe to a bunch of his old areas. It had changed quite a bit since Curtis was on his mission, but he recognized quite a bit. We took a picture of this mountains because they were ones Curtis drove by almost daily at one point of his mission.
These were families that he stayed with at different times in his mission.
We tried to find one of his friends from his mission. He baptized a man named Dave a couple of months before he came home and in that time they became really good friends. We lost touch with them a few years ago, but we decided to go to the last address we had for them to see if we could find them. I had written and sent a letter beforehand, but we had not heard anything from him. Unfortunately, we were not able to find him. However, the day after we got home Curtis received a call from Dave who had just received my letter. His family had moved just a week prior to us going down there so his mail was slow in getting to him. Curtis was so happy to hear from him and they have been in contact since. Hopefully, I can get Curtis back down there soon.
