Portugal

 I realized this week that I never posted about the FIC Leaders Meetings and our time in Portugal, but I still want to even it it's for my sake. 😊 Here is a picture blog of our special time in Portugal! 

The first day of FIC leadership meetings in Portugal was a board meeting, so the kids and I (including Emalai's friend from Colombia Sophia) went down to the beach.

FIC Leadership Team
Gathering from 13 different counties.

Day exploring Lisbon together.

These famous custard tarts are everywhere in Portugal and are so good!

Steve, FIC International director, commsioning Josh to lead the next three months while he's on sabbatical.

Prayed over by the board as Josh becomes interm director. A very emotional moment for me.

Back to the beach.

Always bitter sweet leaving our FIC family to go on vacation.
This is how we travel!

The coast of Portugal is awesome! 🇵🇹 

Lighthouse at the western most point of Europe.

Great place to have pizza!

Next stop!

Our Airbnb!

View from our rooftop.

I absolutely love our little village on the coast!

Breathtaking beauty!

Umm...perfect!

Cliff walk down to the beach.

Ride to the castle. (See it?)

Our walk down.

Fun reward!

I can't think of a better spot for coffee together.

A great third wheel!

We had to say goodbye early to our little village on the coast. It was with heavy hearts we left Portugal early to go to be with my family as my little sister passed away.

Never easy to leave, but thankful for our time and that we can be with our family at this time. God's knows, His timing is perfect and He is with us.
