Armenian Life with Mitch
Australia
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 29 พ.ค. 2015
Hi everyone and welcome to our channel. I'm Mitch, a 67yr old Australian man married to my Armenian wife, Mrs Mitch (Sonia); she's around the same age.😀
We've been living in Armenian since 2004 and our videos focus on what it's like to live in this beautiful country. We are Christians who are passionate about showing the diaspora and the world the reality of living in Armenia.
We want to show you what Armenian businesses and educational facilities are doing to make Armenia a great place to live...but we will always try our best to show you the negatives also and the challenges we face.
Our heart always leads us to regional Armenia, so we want to continue showing you aspects of the lives of local people living in very basic conditions and those people and organisations who are trying to help them.
We hope and pray that all of our videos will be to the glory of God and be of some help to the nation of Armenia and Artsahk.🇦🇲
Thank you so much for you support and may God bless you all🙏

ARMENIAN LIFE: Peace and Contentment in Lori Province
We spent 2 beautiful days in Lori Province celebrating our wedding anniversary.
Mrs Mitch and I stayed at the recently opened Dream Park next to the Stepanavan Dendropark. Our little holiday was made possible thanks to the generosity of Narek, one of our subscribers from Germany. Thank you so much, Narek Jan; we had a wonderful time.
For more information on Dream Park, please open the link below:

I mentioned that I'm starting another channel entitled "Christian Life in Armenia."
If you would like to learn more about the Christian life, please feel free to visit the channel:

The nature surrounding Dream Park is truly beautiful, but the adjacent Dendropark is like entering another, breathing peace and contentment into our souls. We spent a lovely, peaceful in our cosy, modern cabin. The next day, we travelled to a beautiful location via a very bumpy dirt road but were rewarded with some of the most beautiful scenery in all of Armenia.
We thank God for the wonderful opportunity to be surrounded by His awesome creation.🙏

Hi Mitch, first of all it’s great to have you back on your channel. As they say, your health is your wealth. That should be the center focus of your personal health care. On the other hand, it’s also good that you’re sharing your daily challenges with the subscribers and viewers, who can subsequently be helpful with their ideas to make your situation less stressful. Happy thanksgiving and forthcoming holidays my friend. Wishing you a swift recovery and happy life with Mrs Mitch.
@PURELUCIDITY, thanks for your encouraging words, my friend. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Thanks to God, I have a happy and contented life with Mrs. Mitch. Minor health issues are just a part of life, so I'm thankful for that, too.🙏
LIKE & RESPECT ❤
Love you both, regards from the United States. In Christ alone we shall stand on firm foundation. 🙏✝️🦅🇦🇲🙏🇺🇸
@rafaelmuradyan2477...Amen!🙏
Mrs. Mitch said it best: "...because you have 2 more dollars, you're human and I'm not?" I never thought of it that way, but it is SADLY the reality of our existence. They say we are all born equal, we ARE equal. How come, then, few people have INFINITE properties and a lot of people are living in the streets? What a quote, Mrs. Mitch, BRAVO.
@kickass1179...I agree, Mrs Mitch often says many words of wisdom. She is unafraid to speak from her heart, and that's one of the characteristics I love in her! Mrs Mitch loved your comment btw!👍❤

I studied Theology on the East Cost of the U.S. for a period of time, then to Singapore (for the same purpose), then back to Australia. We would love to visit you one day, but it's impossible now, because neither of us are working anymore.

Sequoia trees are abundant naturally in Northern California. They grow very tall.

Согласен с вами. В мире столько агрессии и насилия, и кажется , что негде скрыться от этого. Ещё непонятна жадность людей , которые хотят всё больше и больше, хотят у них и так всего в избытке. А в это время в мире есть очень много детей , которые голодают, и много детей, которые тяжело болеют , но у них нет денег на лечение.

Hi Mitch and Sonia! So jealous of your proximity and view of Charencevan Bjni and Aghveran. We love those villages of the valley you see in the distance. We would like to live part of the year in that general area of the marz. The other half in Ukraine. Still on track to move in 20ish months so it was with glee we watched you two on your property. Congratulations!
Yerevan was famious for its pink buildings. Such pity you donot see this pink stones any more all you see tall ugly buildings in narrow streets, with no side walks. No place to park the cars. Not expanded public transport facility.
Speaking English with russian accept.
Thank you ❤❤❤❤

We know that that place is in Armenia, and we're increasingly being led to stay in Yerevan. The block of land is beautiful, but there are many things to consider, not the least of which is our age, living far from services, etc. We trust in the Lord's leading and are content with that! God bless you both🙏

Chistianity teaches us to love our neighbors. My neighbors could be of other ethnicity, other sexual orientation or have different political views. As a Christian, I understand that as having a respect for sexual minorities too. They are citizens of the country, and should have the same rights. You lost me, Sir, when started to talk about LGBTQ+ people who have more rights that heterosexual married couples. Did any one revoked your rights? I don't think so. Those people do not want more rights; they want the same rights. Honestly, I don't like men with nail polish. However, it is not my business. As a Christian, I understand that they are God's creation, and I obey that.
@vikik4714...Be careful that you don't misinterpret God's Word, my friend. Jesus taught us to love our neighbors as ourselves, but He never said that we should ignore sin and try to "normalize" it to appease the world! The Apostle Paul, in the Book of Romans, Chapter 1, spoke clearly about sexual immorality and perversion, the same as what destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. Loving your neighbor does not mean overlooking sin and allowing our children to be brainwashed and poisoned by Woke teachers, schools, and universities. I'm afraid too many Christian churches have fallen into a kind of luke-warmness, which Our Lord hates. We have lost the fear of God and think that the world is not such a bad place anymore...but it is. Ephesians 5:11-16 "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. Therefore He says: “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.” See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil." In Christian love, brother Mitch
Good luck Mr Ara and Mr Mitch
Excellent solution. Just advice to you, check the availability of communications nearby, water, gas, electricity. Now the connection is very expensive. Also, when buying, contact a lawyer to support the transaction, there can be many pitfalls.
