On Sunday, we figured out where Spencer would be attending church, took 2 different buses, and walked through the rain to surprise him at church. The look on his face when he saw Rob was totally priceless; both of the boys were getting a little teary-eyed...very cute.Later in the evening, Rob met up with Spencer and his companion, Elder McFarren, to teach a few investigators. Spencer is a great missionary and Rob loved getting to relive the glory days.
Monday is Spencer's Preparation Day so we treated him and Elder McFarren to kebabs for lunch, then took the train out to Sintra. Sintra is a beautiful town up in the mountains with cool parks, palaces, and little shops.
The boys enjoying Magnum's "Temptation" ice cream barA well-named ice cream for missionaries? Maybe not. Delicious? Definitely.
Later that night Rob and I were included in a dinner invitation at the Bishop's house. He and his wife were incredibly kind. They made a huge dinner and sent us home with leftovers because they felt bad we hadn't had a home-cooked meal in awhile. As good as bread and cheese sandwiches are, I was happy for the change of fare. :)
We were so glad we got see Spencer and are so proud of his hard work!

How fun!!!! I wish I could have been at that church meeting!!!
love you guys!
Very cool that you got to meet up with Spencer. I'm sure that is something you both will always treasure. And equally fun that Christa got to see the places where you labored in the vineyard. I remember how fun it was (and has been) for me to take Natalie to visit my areas.
you are going to have to print out your blog posts and get them bound as a record of your trip.
