The UpsideDown

Lost in the giant Canada 150 Corn Maze, New Minas, Nova Scotia.

Having lived without Autumn for the past eleven years, it has been so much fun to experience some Canadian Fall Traditions with Ava. On Wednesday afternoon, we picked apples and got lost in a local corn maze with Tristan. We are so thankful for the warm and colourful month of October that we have enjoyed here in the Maritimes.

The pumpkin people of Kentville certainly add to Ava's anticipation for her first Canadian Halloween.   We are excited to be travelling to Prince Edward Island where she will be trick-or-treating with her many Island cousins.

CBM Board Meetings in Mississauga, Ontario
On Thursday, Aaron travelled back to Ontario to participate in the CBM board meetings. It was a good opportunity to share with the leadership of CBM some of the inspiring work that our partner churches are doing often in difficult and uncertain times. We continue to pray for peace in South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Kenya. 

Yesterday's re-election in Kenya was an extremely intense day for us being so far away from Emma. Protests and unrest caused the closure of several polling stations, that will be holding a third voting day this coming Saturday. We are praying for peace and calm to prevail, and for God to bring together the broken factions of the country. 

We will be travelling together to New Brunswick on Saturday and speaking at the Geary Baptist that evening. Please see our November schedule below, and feel welcome to join us at a church in your area.
