OUR FIRST VISIT TO THE HISTORIC MORMON BATTALION SITE

WE SPENT OUT FIRST FULL DAY IN THE 83 DEGREES SAN DIEGO WEATHER DOING SOME ERRANDS AND GROCERY SHOPPING.  WHAT A BEAUTIFUL JANUARY DAY.  ONE OF THE THINGS WE DID WAS TO PURCHASE OUR MONTHLY TROLLEY PASS. IT IS ONLY $18 TO RIDE/ MONTH AND IT GOES MOST OF THE PLACES WE WILL NEED TO GO.  I DID SOME LAUNDRY AND THEN WE HOPPED ON THE TROLLEY AND HEADED FOR OLD TOWN TO CHECK THINGS OUT AT THE BATTALION SITE.  WE MET THE TWO COUPLE WHO WE WILL BE REPLACING AS WELL AS THE NEW DIRECTOR AND HIS WIFE, THE SEEGMILLERS.  I THINK SHE AND I WILL GET ALONG FAMOUSLY. THE YOUNG SISTER MISSIONARIES SAID THAT SHE WAS A DRAMA TEACHER ALSO.  WE MET SEVERAL OF THE SISTER MISSIONARIES AND THEY WERE EXCITED TO MEET US. WE WATCHED THE FILM "MORE PRECIOUS THAN GOLD" THE STORY OF THE BATTALION EPIC. WE DIDN'T TAKE THE TOUR BECAUSE IT WAS GETTING LATE BUT WE WILL GO BACK SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE WE HAVE TO GO TO PROVO TO THE MISSIONARY TRAINING CENTER IN FEBRUARY.

WE ARE READY TO GET GOING.
