In 2000 and 2001 I served as a missionary in France for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. During these two years I served in Tarbes, Angers, Bordeaux, Tours, and Paris, respectively. My first companion (trainer) showed me the ropes for my first three months in Tarbes. Over time we became good friends and have kept in touch since our missions.

In December of 2004 Andrew (my trainer) contacted me about a possible trip to France with our wives who had never been. Andrew had also served in Angers and Tours, so with Tarbes we had three areas in common. Andrew proposed we go through a student travel agency and make a trip together during spring break to visit those areas as well as Paris.

After sitting on it for a bit and talking with Tia, we decided it was a great opportunity and better jump on it. We just got back tonight and I’m anxious to post our pictures, so here they are. Additionally there was a lot of video footage filmed that will eventually be edited and make its way online.
