| Our whole island smiles when President and Sister Oliveira come for a visit. Their leadership is outstanding! |
 |
| They are Prepared. Interesting. Fun. Inspired. |
And when Sister Oliveira was demonstrating how to make a salad...so the missionaries will stay alive and well...we glanced over and noticed the look of appreciation and love on President Oliveira's face.
Many things could be said about living the kind of life that makes great leaders great. But the way they treat each other is what makes us believe all the other words. We love this great couple and are so thankful to be working under their thoughtful leadership, inspiration, example, and love.
The three years that they are serving here will impact countless blessings in the lives of theses missionaries and their future families forever.

| We know because of President and Sister George Oakes (Elder Benedict's first Mission President in the Brasil North Mission, and because of President and Sister Craig Earnshaw (our Mission President in the Brasil, Porto Alegre do Sul Mission). We have been blessed by so many wonderful leaders and their influence in our lives is immeasurable. The missions of our parents and our children inspire us each day that we serve. We are so grateful. |

You can just tell they have the spirit with them - even through these pictures. I love that! I'm so sorry I haven't been commenting on your blog! I have been reading and loving it though. And I keep thinking I still need to read it to McKenzie along with your e-mail that you sent forever ago to her - but when I think about it, she's at school or we're running around, busy. Then, of course, when it is a good time, I forget. I'm the hugest slacker. My life is feeling chaotic and unorganized. But, I'll remember tonight. Hey, that would make a great FHE! ;) I'm excited for my children to see all of these pictures and read your words. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this! I tried to Skype with you earlier but you were unaviable (that's portuguese for unavailable. ha! just kidding). I love you!
I LOVE This! They looks like a sweet couple.
