April 29/2018

Another month come and gone, time seems to go by so quickly. We had a very busy week, which is always a good thing.

Last Sunday for Family Home Evening we watched a video called “Celebrate What’s Right with The World” by Dewitt Jones, a photographer for National Geographic. Loved the message about finding the good, being positive and appreciating what is all around us. There are so many wonderful things out there we just need to look and be thankful for what we have. “We live in a world of possibilities…. when we believe it, we’ll see it.” Here is a link to one of his many videos. They are all so good I think you will enjoy them. 

Tuesday morning before we caught the ferry to Savai'i we did some site visits for water tanks. After traipsing through tall grass, mud, weeds, over barb wire, we saw several fales that caught water in barrels and saw a huge need for water tanks. We have several water projects to submit and hopefully they will be approved. We were able to deliver a water tank to a family this week that will help about 8 families in the area. A company donated a tank to this family and we bought the catchment system and were able to have it all ready before that rain fell on Monday. It was a great day and to top it off one of the kids climbed up their tree to get me some lemons, he was up that tree in no time throwing lemons down to me, they smelled so good.

Can you see him?

We gave a presentation at NUS (National University of Samoa) this week about Eat Healthy and Be Active, Elder Cameron nailed it! After the power point presentation, we gave them a 12-week challenge to keep track of what they ate, to eat healthier, and to exercise for 30 min. a day. They liked it so much they invited us back in 12 weeks for a follow up. The funny part was though the lunch they provided for us was a lot of cake, sandwiches and Koko Laisa (rice and chocolate). We are hoping to take this presentation to the high schools, so it was great to try it out on the Faculty of Education at the University.

The couple next door to us went home after serving for 2 years. It was sad to see them go but it was also exciting to see them prepare to go and see their family. They were the Zone leaders and did a fantastic job of planning activities and making sure the senior missionaries were aware and informed of things they needed to know. Our mission President Elder Hannemann asked us to be the new zone leaders- just wondering if that was inspiration or desperation? FHE is usually on Sunday evenings at our place now and this evening we planned to do humanitarian kits, we did 50 of them. We like to always have some with us as we travel the Islands, there is always a family that can us a kit and are grateful for it.

Spent some time at Sauniatu this week, such a special place with a special feeling. The pioneer sacrifices, and the blessing of an apostle on the people and the land make it a sacred place, you can feel that as you look around and read the plaques that share the story of this special place. It is a testimony to me of a loving Father in Heaven who loves and cares for each one of his children.

Tangerines are in season right now, they are so good. At home if an orange is green they are probably sour and not quite ripe yet, not here, we bought a dozen from a road side stand in Savai'i, 50 cents or 1 tala an orange. We are heading back to Savai’i next week and will stock up. I was thinking Donna, maybe you can grow these in your amazing garden you grow everything else. I bet you’re excited about this great weather and to see all the little sprouts starting to peek out from the ground.

I am glad to hear that the weather has improved so much, the snow is gone, and the sun is shining. I think it was a hard winter on mom and dad, but I’m glad you both can now get out and be a bit more active and get your garden going. Andrew has hung up the skis and is now floating the river, in search for the big one. The last picture Andrew sent was a bit tough on Elder Cameron! I saw a picture of Dixie in her little pool, so cute. Only in Alberta can you have snow one day and be outside swimming the next. Ali was talking to us about gardening plans with Rissa, getting the pool ready, putting out the summer furniture. She said that this is going to be the party place this summer. Now that was a bit tough on me! We know that this is where we are to be at this time in our lives, but we do miss you all and love you and are so happy that our place will continue to be a home of fun, laughter and love. Jordan has been busy making a table and benches for the family, it is absolutely beautiful. Well done Jordan, another hidden talent.  Speaking of love, Happy Anniversary to Madge and Don (can you believe it, how many is this), and to Lynnette and Kevin. Happy Birthday to MaryAnn, I heard most of you're family was there to celebrate. I bet there was some crazy partying in Caroline.

These are so yummy!

I found out a little fact the other day, we call our church women’s organization Relief Society in Samoa they call it Au’alofa meaning condition of love. I love it, I think that is a name so fitting for our women’s organization. I love the idea of ministering, it is something that really isn’t new because we know the Savior did it all the time. If we are to follow in our Savior’s footsteps or as the song goes “I’m trying to be like Jesus, I’m following in his ways, I’m trying to love as he did, in all that I do and say.” It’s important that we strive to help, serve and love those around us especially those that at times are the hardest to love. Ministering is about caring, nurturing, and comforting not only in times of need but always.  Mosiah 23:18 we read “They did watch over their people and did nourish them with things pertaining to righteousness.”

 I love the gospel and am thankful for a forever family, for a testimony of the truthfulness. I’m thankful for my parents and for their commitment to each other and the gospel. I’m thankful for The Book of Mormon and for the testimonies that are written on those pages. I’m thankful for a husband who has grown so much in the gospel and leads his family with righteousness and love. And most of all I’m thank full for a Father in Heaven and a Savior who love me unconditionally even with all my weaknesses and flaws and continues to guide and bless me and my family. I know the church is true and I know that through Temple covenants we will again be reunited with loved ones that have gone on before and I look forward to that reunion.

I hope this week is great for each one of you, remember to always Be Happy and Be Kind!

Love,

Pam

April 15, 2018

We were sorry to hear about some of the tragedies that have happened back home, the Humboldt Broncos bus accident was a devastating loss to families and to the community and one that will affect many people for years to come and one that many people can relate too on many levels. We were also sorry to hear about the loss of one of our church ward members Jack Humphries. Jack joined the church later in his life, he had an unwavering testimony of right and wrong and was truly converted to the gospel. We wish his family well and know his reunion with his wife Shirley must have been wonderful.

We had the opportunity to skype with Elder and Sister Baldry(Karie and Rodger)the other day. It was so good to see them and hear about their mission and see how busy they are. It was crazy to think they are so close yet so far away still. Who knows, we are heading to Fiji in June for a conference and hoping that while we are on our mission we can maybe somehow get over to New Zealand and maybe even Australia.

A funny story this week, I got such a chuckle out of it. Mandy and Andrew were headed to St. George Utah and had both boys with them. They decided to pull over into the parking lot at a Holiday Inn and stay in their Adventure Van for the night. In the morning Nate woke up decided to go in to use the washroom he came out with 2 plates of food and something to drink from the buffet. I guess he figured staying in the parking lot qualified him for the breakfast buffet.  Also, Nate well done on your achievement for rock climbing. I have a picture of Grampa trying to rock climb, I think he could use a lesson from you.

Last week we showed you a picture of a family and their little Fale, well grampa worked his magic. He and another senior missionary strapped a water tank to the truck and took it along with some other items to this family, it was a wonderful experience all around. We will be heading out that way again this coming week to see how things are progressing for this little family.

We went to Savai’i this past week and did quite a few site visits to schools. We are really hoping to get a couple of Sea Cans of furniture over here in Savai’i, they desperately need desks and chairs. We also visited with our Diabetes group, they are doing so good, and working hard. We are sure proud of them. They only have about 3 more weeks left in the pilot program.  We also visited with one of the village mayors that we are just finishing up doing a 25-3,000-liter water tank project for. While we were talking a car load of people drove up, clothes were flying in every direction, kids were naked, laundry baskets were full, and it was a party. We figured it must be bath, laundry and swimming day all in one.

We ended our week with a Costal Walk on Saturday. It was beautiful to see the power and force of the waves coming in and splashing along the coast. It was truly a magnificent sight. The size and the color of the waves was something that I have never seen before and it left me thinking that there is so much beauty in this world and how important that we appreciate it and take care of it. We were walking up along the lava fields and I was amazed to see the growth of grasses and small yellow flowers in the lava, it shows me that even in adverse conditions that there can still be growth and beauty. I think that can be like our lives, when tests and trials come our way it’s hard to see the good at the time but as we keep moving forward and trying and with the help of our Heavenly Father we too can see the beauty and growth along the way.

Time here seems to be moving quickly, we will be saying good bye to several senior couples over the next few months, some are going home, and some are getting papers ready for another mission.  We’ve enjoyed their friendship and knowledge and it is kind of sad to see them go but new missionaries will be coming, and Elder Cameron and I are no longer the new ones! We’ve made some great friends and will look forward to catching up with many of them when we’re home.

One of my most favorite people is Sister Hinckley, she always had something great to say. I want to share with you one of her quotes, “Who knows but that something wonderful may happen today. Have faith that it will. After all, every morning is a chance at a new day.”

Family and Friends, we love you and are grateful for your love and support, it makes our mission much easier knowing that you love and care for us and what we are doing. We feel it such a blessing and a privilege to be here serving in Samoa, as we try to meet the needs of Our Heavenly Fathers children. Our thoughts and prayers are with you always and know that we think of you often.

Have a fun week and remember, Be Happy and Be Kind!

 Love Pam

We came across this wonderful little gem while travelling the island of Savai'i

April 8/2018

April 8/2018

This week has been a rollercoaster of feelings and emotions, from sadness, heart break to feelings of gratitude, joy for the miracle of life and thankfulness for the messages we heard at conference.

Scott and I did some travelling around the island this past week and went back into areas not travelled much. We saw a need to help and those feelings were multiplied after listening to many conference talks on ministering to the one, looking to help and ease the burdens of our Heavenly Fathers children. We had made up several hygiene kits last Monday as we felt we needed to take them with us when we travel. They contain some basic items like toilet paper, soap, toothpaste and other personal items. We were able to give many away and hope that this will help in some small way.

Often we are led to a person or family and that was the case this past week. We met with a family who live in an open Fale about 10 X 16. They are a very humble family, they sleep on the floor and when I say floor it is lava rocks, there are no mats just rocks and the room is 6X8 for all five of them. There is no running water, only what they can catch off the roof into a barrel; there’s no electricity and in a corner of the fale is the kitchen where they cook over an open fire. They have a small table and 1 chair in their kitchen and a couple plates, a pan for cooking and a bowl for mixing. After visiting with this family they gave us a bag of cucumbers, all they had.  It is so difficult to accept these gifts when you know it is all they have and they may go without food because they are so grateful that you came to visit and to try and help them. My heart was overcome with humility and love that I wanted to just fix everything but I also know it is a step by step process for them and for us that involves hard work, commitment, time, money, a desire to want something better. They have saved up and are able to get enough cement for the 6x8 bedroom area and will continue to save and do it all in stages. Scott and I are hoping to be able to help with a water tank and with a bathroom area so they no longer have to go in the bush. I feel a deep gratitude that the Lord leads us to people, sometimes through others and sometimes as we are travelling. To be an instrument in the Lords hand is a humbling experience. We pray together every morning to be led to those in need and when we find a family like this we know our prayers are answered and he is guiding our way.

This past week a good friend of mine had another granddaughter come into this world. There are many heart breaking and heart-warming stories leading up to this precious little miracle making an entrance into this world. Thank you Cheryl for sharing something so personal and wonderful. It helped to lift my spirits and remind me in some of the difficult moments this past week that our Father in Heaven loves each one of us and cares deeply what we feel and what is happening in our lives.

Now on the lighter side, I ordered a snorkel mask and it came on Thursday! Well we tried it out this weekend, it works great, no water got in and I survived. It is one that fits over the whole face, I have a picture of it. I look a little or a lot scary but it works for me. I still get a bit anxious especially if we are over a lot of corral and I can’t stand up or we go through a channel and I can’t be out for really long stretches. Scott stays pretty close which is a good thing cause it helps to calm me especially in those anxious moments. The fish are beautiful and it is an amazing world below the water, I don’t know what I’ll do when I come across an eel, a turtle, or something a bit more threatening than a small bright coloured fish.

Things seem to be going great at home, at least that’s what I hear. I can’t imagine they can get along so well without me there! Rowen’s Birthday tomorrow! I saw a great picture of The Sauve grandkids, I can’t believe how big they’re getting and how old I must be getting. Good looking kids, there must be some great genes mixed in there somewhere. Mom and Dad, I need you to send me a picture of you two to put up on my family wall. I keep telling you guys to hang in there, Spring is around the corner, then I hear there’s another snow storm so I’ll quit saying that and see if that helps. Time is going quickly and it won’t be long till Rissa is here and staying for a month-one of the perks for working in the school system. We are looking forward to the visit. Andrew we hope you are up and around soon, back to your busy, hectic but very exciting life. I think you can still sit in a boat and fly fish with your leg elevated can’t you? A gentle reminder family if you were unable to watch all of conference please take the time to watch it or read it. It was wonderful and I promise you it will help to increase your testimony and give you answers to the questions that you may have. We love you and are grateful for each one of you.

 I love the changes in Visiting and Home Teaching, I want to share something Sister Bingham said “And what better way to prepare to meet Him than to strive to become Like Him through lovingly ministering to one another!”

Have a great week, Be Happy, Be Kind!

Love,

Pam, Sister Cameron, Gramma (I answer to all)

Conference weekend and Easter, Scott and I were up early to watch conference and sustain the Prophet and leaders, it was good. I also saw from a picture sent to us that some of the grandkids did to. What a great teaching and learning experience that was. Elder Taylor G Godoy's talk “One More Day” gave me reason to think,  What would I do with one more day? Hmm, What would YOU do with one more day?

Scott and I spent most of this past week in the office, tying up loose ends and planning for the following weeks so I decided that I would just post some pictures of a few things we did.

Happy Anniversary Jordan and Esther! Nathanael’s Birthday on the 7^th and Rowen’s on the 8^th( don’t forget her gift, it’s probably in a closet somewhere!) 

Hope your week is wonderful, take something that you heard or felt from conference and place it into your lives to help you renew, brighten and to grow and then maybe take all that and help someone else to brighten and grow as well. We love you, Be happy and Be kind!

What a week,

We were fortunate this past week to be involved in the handover ceremony of a major vision project involving medical eye equipment and technology. Scott was able to pull it all together in a very short amount of time due to his great organizational skills under pressure. The MOH, the Ophthalmologist, a rep from New Zealand and one from Salt Lake were all in attendance to hand over the equipment including a portable Fundus camera that will make it possible to help and visit many in the outlying areas and Islands to improve overall care for the people of Samoa. It was a great gift and I know it will be used a lot. It is amazing what the church is involved with and the help that they give all over the world without a lot of publicity.

In all the craziness of trying to get the handover done we forgot about an appointment with a village about water tanks, they called Thursday morning to see if we were coming, Scott rescheduled the appointment but neither one of us felt good about it, so Scott called back and asked if it wasn’t too late that he could be there in about 45 mins. They were thrilled, so Scott headed out the door and over to the Village where a group of Matai’s were waiting with a feast. The Matai’s had been up early killing chickens, preparing fish and other delicacies. It was a great experience for him as they ate together then climbed the hills to their village and Scott was able to see why they need tanks, it’s a project we are hoping to come up with very soon.

Also this past week we took some tables to a Primary School that has no tables in their library. Sometimes there are left over tables, teachers Desks and other furniture from past shipments and we happened to have some that would work perfectly for this school. The teachers and kids were so happy and it was so fun. The kids sang and danced, we laughed, we hugged and it was wonderful. We will be heading out there again when we get some desks in. After our visit there Scott and I headed to Clam Beach which just happened to be right down the road. I saw the clams this time, I snorkeled out to them! Sometimes I can’t quite believe that I’m doing that!

I’m not very good with dates but I do always remember Gramma Cameron left this world on March 14/2002. She has been in my thoughts a lot lately and I am thankful for her. She was always an example of love and unselfishness. Sometimes when Scott feels the need to invite someone over or volunteers me to make something I remember the saying “just throw another potato in the pot.” How I miss her in my life and I know our kids do too. Also in March are several birthdays and I want to wish Scotty and Andrew, two of my son in laws a very Happy Birthday, I know you did and will celebrate in style cause that’s what you both do, enjoy life to the fullest.

Conference next weekend, I’m looking forward to the words and direction that we will receive from our prophet and other leaders that will speak to us. It is amazing to me that no matter where we are we can all hear the same council and receive our own revelation. Easter is also on that weekend a perfect time to ponder and contemplate our relationship with the Savior. I am thankful for my Savior, my brother, my friend. His entire existence witnesses to me that death is not the end. He came to earth not just to provide a perfect example for each one of us but to make it possible for each one of us to be together with our families forever despite our imperfections.  Tasha's 37^th Birthday was on Friday March 23^rd we still get messages from friends that remember her and loved her. Thank you for those messages we love them and they continue to be a source of love and strength to me and a reminder of the importance of this journey we are on.

 I am hoping there will be an Easter Madden get together, a time to visit, catch up and know where everybody is and of course what everybody is doing. I know we will be thinking of you all and the great food we will be missing. MMMMM, turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, vegetables, buns and PIE. I can’t go on anymore it’s making me homesick and hungry. If you are getting together enjoy and know we love and miss you. Sheila I heard you are flying to the Island to see Nancy. I’m so glad you are doing so many fun things, stretching yourself and seeing that there is a big world out there just waiting for you. It may never be the same once you get out there but what fun it will be.

At church today our primary and youth sang, they did so good the chorus of one of the songs touched me and I want to leave it as my closing thoughts.

“God gave us families, to help us become what he wants us to be

This is how he shares his love, for the family is of God.”

I hope your week is filled with everything good and that you take the time to enjoy all you have and have been blessed with. We love you and are grateful for each one of you and what you bring to our lives. Remember to be kind to one another, you never know what may be going on in someone else’s life.

Eat lots of Turkey!    Grandkids, I love each one of you and miss you all like crazy.

Love,

Sister Cameron ( Gramma)

Wow, I just had a moment (they are few and far between). I wasn't going to write a blog this week, thinking I didn't have much to say.  After reading Scott's email that he sends out I realized that there are people that read mine that don't see Scott's newsletter and there were things that happened this past week that touched our hearts and are important to share.
Scott and I went to Savai'i this past week and while doing some school site visits we went to a school that we heard needed desks. I had to fight back the tears as I saw many students sitting at desks that were in really rough shape ( I've included a picture). The principal at this Primary School and her husband out of their own pocket spend their evening and mornings before school starts making breakfast and lunches for the 200 children that attend school there so they can have a healthy meal. What an example of Love and Christ like charity.
Before Scott and I got here there was a container that came that had boxes and boxes of school books, We have been trying to go through these boxes and sorting them into ages, Primary School,  Middle School and College (High School). We have just about finished but we now have enough that when we go on site visits to schools we load the back of our truck with boxes of books and take them with us and if we see a need or feel prompted we will donate these to the different schools. The teachers and students are so happy and excited to receive these and we are happy to provide.  On one of our previous visits at a Primary School a young man mentioned he was in need of library books for the younger children so on our next visit we dropped by again and unloaded several boxes. It was rewarding to see the excitement of the children but the teacher was most thrilled.
The Diabetes Pilot Progrm is going great and we were able to spend some time with those involved in the program last week. There were a lot of kg's lost on the weigh scale and some really excited people. It is really rewarding to see these wonderful people work so hard to try and make a better life for them and their families. It can't be easy but sometimes the things worth having are not easy and that's why we appreciate them so much.
We have been blessed to meet some amazing people in our travels around the islands, and to see some heart warming things. Someone washing their hands with running water and soap, someone picking up  garbage  in the school yard, a smile, a kiss on the cheek,  these things continue to give us hope that yes, this is why we're here and to continue with the serving, teaching, guidance and love.
It doesn't matter where you are in the world, our Relief Society for The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints celebrated their  176 Birthday. It is the largest women's organization in the world, 7.1 million women and in over 188 countries. An amazing program of "Charity never Faileth."  President Hinckley once said " People wonder what we do for our women, I'll tell what we do. We get out of their way and look with wonder at what they're accomplishing."
I have been blessed to know and are friends with some great women, some who have passed on  like Gramma Cameron and many others  who consistantly display a quiet strength,  love, unselfishness,and kindness for others, you  are an example to me and am grateful for each one of you  in my life. Many of you have suffered some kind of hurt and pain, and continue to keep on moving forward with a smile on your face and the courage to keep on going. Thank you for your example.
Have a great week and remember Be Kind!
Love,
Sister Cameron( Gramma)

Talofa Lava,

 I thought I’d start out with a few fun facts about Samoa,

Savaii has an ancient pyramid on the island called Pulemelei or Star Pyramid.

Canned tuna is Samoa’s most important manufactured export.

In Samoa it is acceptable for a family who have too many boys to raise the youngest one as a girl. He is known as a fa’afafine and given a girl’s name and wears feminine clothing.

Samoans are known throughout Polynesia as the “happy people” because of their good spirited nature.

On Tuesday Scott and I were able to deliver about 150 desks and some chairs to Malie a Primary School here in Upolu. What a wonderful experience that was. On Monday we did a site visit there, they have around 400 students half of them sat on the floor, we felt strongly that the next container of Furniture For Schools was to go there. We knew there was a container of desks but were having some difficulty getting it out of customs, we finally got the go ahead and Tuesday morning a container was delivered. It was great to see the excitement as we opened the container, the students helped unload it and were thrilled with the gift of used desks and chairs.  Every child that goes to school should have a desk and chair and that is something we are working on.

Buses here in Samoa are the main transportation, costing only around 3 talas. People stand, sit, sit on each others’ laps, switch seats regularly and try to squeeze as many people as they can onto a bus, there is no such thing as personal space. There are a few designated bus stops, but buses stop whenever someone flags them down and lets them off whenever someone asks to be let of, It can take a couple hours just to get from one village to another. It’s like a big party, the music is playing, people laughing and no one in a hurry to get anywhere. I think it’s safe to say the motto should be “Have patience, keep a smile on your face and enjoy the ride.”

Scott and I are headed to Savaii this week, we love Savaii, It’s a beautiful Island. We have several more site visits for schools and some for water tanks and a diabetes meeting to attend. I think besides every child needing a desk every family needs clean water. Something we often take for granted. So, the next time you have a glass of water or a nice, long hot shower think how lucky you are cause not everybody gets that luxury.

A few weeks back I was getting some groceries and saw Lays Potato chips, I bought a couple bags and they were so good. Then the other day I saw them again and bought some more, I also saw A&W Root beer (I don’t even drink pop) but I had to buy it, I was so excited, thought I’d died and gone to heaven. It’s funny how something like that can get you all excited. I’ve learned that if you see something like that you better stock up because you may never see it again.

It looks like a bit of a warming trend is coming your way, hopefully it will stick around for awhile. It has been a long, frosty winter for many of you. I saw a picture cousin Wayne sent, a lot of snow, it was crazy. I know Jordan made some great tobogganing hills at home for the kids. Some of my fondest memories as a child were playing in the huge snow drifts and making snow forts. Getting older has a way of not always seeing and remembering the “joy in the good ole days.”

There were so many Birthdays in March, I’m sorry if we missed them, But we wish you all a very Happy Birthday. President Monson celebrated his 90^th birthday in August, he said his ideal birthday gift would be “find someone who is having a hard time or is ill and do something for them. That’s all I would ask.” Sounds like a great idea and definitely something our Prophet would have said.

Thank you to all who send pictures and comments to Scott and me. We love to read them. George, you make us laugh and we never quite know what you’re going to say. Cousin Wayne we are so glad you are getting around more, you know the saying “you can’t keep a good man down!” Rick, what kind of fish was that, it looked amazing.  Coleman, it was great to hear from you and to know it’s not a C,y but a K,i. keep plugging away and know our thoughts and prayers are always with you.

Once again, I’m thankful for tender mercies, the power of prayer and for listening to the promptings we can all receive. I am reminded again that Our Father in Heaven loves us and watches over our family. We are so far away and sometimes It’s hard to not be there to help, but I am truly thankful the way our children and family come together when needed.   President Dallin H. Oaks said, “Perhaps the most familiar and the most important examples of unselfish service and sacrifice are performed in our own families.”

I am seeing this more and more while Scott and I serve the Lord over here in Samoa you are all helping and serving each other. We love you and are grateful for each one of you and all you do.

Stay warm, enjoy the sun when it peeks out, be kind and love one another. Remember, everything you are learning now is preparing you for something else.

Love,

Elder and Sister Cameron (Gramma and Grampa)
