[Star Wars: The Force Awakens] Why did Kylo Ren accompany the First Order forces the first attack on Jakku but not the second?

They both seemed like pretty important missions. Why be present for just one? What was keeping him so busy aboard the Finalizer?

Kylo knew Lor San Tekka was in that village.  Lor San Tekka is a personal friend of Luke Skywalker and a member of the Church of the Force.  There is a good chance he has some level of force affinity so Kylo wanted to be there to deal with him in case he had more power then he displayed.  As well Kylo is trying to continue Vader's Crusade so killing Lor San Tekka is a step to finishing eliminating all the Jedi, even though he wasn't an actual Jedi.
