Fitting that Cory's birthday falls so close to Canadian Thanksgiving because we praise the Lord for him and are very thankful for him.Cory's birthday will be low key with some special food, hugs and cards. As he can be difficult to buy for the kids and I told him that the visit back in August to the Asia supermarket would be his gift-he bought many exotic fruits that he wished to both try and gather seeds to bring back to Haiti.
Yesterday Cory visited Ti Bouk, Pastor Emmanuel's church down the river from us to share bamboo plants. The people excitedly accepted the 40 plants that Cory brought and requested that he return next week with more. Cory plans to offer additional churches bamboo before returning to Ti Bouk. The distributed bamboo will grown and be able to be shared with others in time.
The bamboo can help with erosion as well as be used in building and furniture. As many of you know some types of bamboo can also be eaten but we will not be focusing this aspect for now.
Thankful for Cory: his love for the Lord and us, he shops, he's generous, he's ticklish, neat, clean, forgiving, good at packing, good driver, likes to teach about plants, smart, good steward of money, cooks, loves plants, supports Kid's club and video ministry....and much more!
Pray for cholera patients increasing numbers throughout Haiti because of the rain. Many Haitian schools started this week.

Happy Birthday Cory!
Thinking of you guys. Talked to a mom at work this week who just started Sonlight with her three kids this year. I love that I have a little insight into that. I have gotten to connect with several women through it over the past year. Hope you have a good night!
Wishing Cory a happy birthday: I know he has been a blessing to many!
