I watched your video at the auction for the school. Near the end of the video, Joas was showing a spreadsheet for the work assignments. I started wondering how you and your family have become so comfortable with technology in the short time between your life as old order Amish and today. From Priscilla's fashion and decorating skills to Joas's skills with modern milling and construction equipment, you are very modern. I mean that in a complimentary sense, not a derogatory sense. I grew up in a seven child home with one bedroom. My parents got the bedroom. The children slept anywhere they could find a bare spot. We had an outhouse, water, but no hot water; and my mother always made my shirts. I got a new pair of Levi blue jeans every year as my Christmas present. It was a great life and it was the result of economic poverty. Your similar lives resulted from religious choice. I appreciate both. Irregardless of how we grew up, we arrived at the same place in life. I accepted Christ at the age of eight and was baptized at twelve. I regard your videos as an evangelical ministry. Keep up the good work. God bless you and your family.
You guys are the sweetest couple EVER! I've always been so curious about the Amish, having been born in a mennonite community myself. My family left it when I was only 2 so I know nothing of that life. I love your faith and passion to share Jesus! Please keep making videos!
I love your stories. The kindness from both of you is so easy to watch and listen to. Keep the videos coming. It is good to hear and understand how other families are raised. But our common denominator is Jesus Christ. God bless you all.❤❤
We would love to hear more about you 2003 trip to Switzerland that was life changing. It’s amazing the whole community was able to go there. That story would be very interesting!
Thank you for sharing your life. The Amish culture has always intrigued me. Love your sense of community and tight family ties. You have a beautiful family! God bless
I love how you both are so at ease talking to us. I feel like I'm an old friend sitting in your living room. We too have a belief that is different than others. We have no name, follow the teachings of Jesus and meet in the home every Sunday. Our ministry is like Jesus sent. Thank you so much for sharing our beliefs. I LOVE it all and love your family.
I would love to come and experience living a Amish life for a week. And learn how to do things, to make my quilts better, the old way . Canning stuff.etc.
Every video you make is wonderful and this was so interesting! We welcome all you have to share so please keep it up. Very dark times are here so let us encourage each other to hide and abide in Jesus. Thank you so much!
I think it’s so important to share with others that although it might not be comfortable, we could all survive without many of the conveniences we currently have. I appreciate your family values and your sharing them on your channel. I grew up on a working dairy farm and my Dad also worked outside of the farm at another full-time job, so I understand being raised with a strong work ethic. It didn’t hurt me whatsoever.
We have a Amish Mennonite culture center near us called Be Halt, with a beautiful 360 degree mural highlighting church history. I appreciate learning about different cultures, especially the anabaptists.
I love both of you. I had been watching you for a while and I think you are both genuine and beautiful people. Thank you for explaining about the Amish, I came from the Philippines and the way you grew up reminds me of how we were brought up too. I like it when you always include God in your life, I grew up catholic and my faith is very important for me too, thanks again for everything that you’re doing.
You are a beautiful young couple with beautiful family! Really enjoy your videos! I live in Calgary, Canada and I am 76 years old widow! May God keep blessing you 🙏🏻
I grew up just across the Indiana border in Ohio and the Amish were a part of life though they pretty much stayed to themselves. Your sharing opens it up even more. Thank you.❤️
I just found you guys on TH-cam and catching up on all your videos, I am finding the way you grew up interesting. I grew up in a small town in Germany and was raised in the catholic way. We had a lot of community things too when I grew up. I love your faith and helps me to find my way back to my faith I lost a long time ago. Thank you
Welcome to our family Angelika! Thank you so much for watching our videos and it is a huge blessing to us if they are a blessing to you! We are so thankful that you’re finding the love of the Father again! Blessings to you!
I don't know how l came across your videos, but l have watched 3 now, and loved them all!! Looking forward to watching more. Keep those videos coming! God Bless you both and your lovely family.
no need to be embarrassed Joas! I love your videos because you are so natural in your sharing. I love the way you both are creative in your own way: it's so important in these times that we see normal people share what they want to share: all the made up and manipulated videos are not showing what life really is! Undistorted, authentic and honest videos are so much needed and appreciated! Much LOVE and Many Blessings!💜💜💜💜🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😀😍
I am enjoying your channel and enjoyed this video. I think you really hit into some truth in that, because you have lived without things like cars and electricity, you appreciate them each time that you use them now. We all need to remember that our ancestors were much the same--even if not Amish, etc. Both of my parents grew up very poor. My Mom's family had a farm and her Dad was also a coal miner, but there were 10 children, so the money had to go a long way. They did however fare better than some who had 'gone to town' to live because they lived on a farm....big gardens, preserved goods, beef, hogs, chicken, etc. My Mom's family didn't get electricity in their home until probably the 1950's. My Mom remembers well using coal oil lamps, out houses, and my Grandma cooked on a wood stove even while I was growing up. (Someone bought her an electric range, but she rarely used it.) My Dad's family was similar, but they had 'moved to town' and things were harder for them during the Depression years and other times. Grandpa was also a coal miner (we're from WV) and he and Grandma raised a garden and preserved food...but it didn't provide as much as the farm (other grandparents) did. Dad was raised cold, hungry, and going without at times. I think we all need to talk to our elders, read books, etc. and remember every day how fortunate we are to have the choice and ability to flip a light switch or jump into a warm car to go places. I think where we get into sin with 'worldly' things is when we develop a growing hunger for more, faster, bigger, better--never being satisfied. We need to be grateful. Our family 'went frugal' in 2012 and it's taught me to be very thankful for what we have--meager that it might seem to some. I drive a 2005 vehicle in good condition and I am very grateful every time I ride somewhere in it. It's not the fanciest thing on wheels, lol....but I don't have a 'fancy' payment due each month either. :) I very much appreciate that your family is mindful of and grateful for the conveniences that you enjoy. We should all take a note on that. God bless you all and thank you for sharing your life!
I have been really enjoying your videos. We have seen many Amish in various places. So this is so informative as to how the Amish live. I will continue watching your videos. Thank you so much…
You are a blessing in my life listening to your youthful life. I grew up as a weekend farm girl and my grandparents had no electricity, indoor plumbing. My grandparents did have a propane fridge/stove. We had to wash dishes on the wood stove. My childhood was interesting and fun on the farm. In the winter time we scraped off the top layer of snow and put it in the metal drum in the house. This was the late 70's early 80's. God bless your family! 💙💜
You guys rock! I look forward to all your videos because you are all just the sweetest people! I would cherish friends like you! Be blessed y'all! ✌😎🏴☠️
I'm not Ammish but our life was similar back in 40s and 50s and I'm so grateful for that. Love ❤️ hearing about your days. I really appreciate those days. From Ontario Canada. Thank you 😊. Blessings.
I so admire your values and way of life. Love these videos you are putting out. I learn something new every time about living a simple wholesome life. Thank you both so much for sharing this with us.
The love is so evident between you both as you share your life story! You are exceptionally kind to make these videos and share with us all. The time and energy you take to show us your amazing lifestyle is so appreciated . God Bless your family!
Your family is an example of the love for Christ; your love for each other and your family is a true example of love only found in Christ. Priscilla, you are such a gem; I think of you as a friend in my mind 😁. Lots of love and warm hugs from North Texas
You do an amazing job with your videos!! I truly appreciate your lifestyle and how you grew up. I just found your channel and have been watching and enjoying them so much!! Thank you!!
Thank you for sharing! I like the spirit you spoke from while recounting your experiences. I'd seen the title come up often in suggestions but never clicked on it because most similar videos are not presented in love as you did, but more in a spirit of tearing down and discrediting, of focusing on a narrow version of the strictest or most harmful families & communities - which is not even an accurate portrayal as there are variations among all people & families of various same cultures. You said it perfectly when you mentioned you both grew up in safe families. I think you respectfully & accurately explained that. God Bless!
Thank you both for your efforts..I’ve really enjoyed hearing your stories. I am an old soul myself and love to keep the old ways of doing things alive. We still farm and log with horses and mules here. I mainly raise young work stock, but I farm enough acreage to feed them. We keep percheron draft horses and raise colts from them. The Amish have and will always be near and dear to me. I highly respect their lifestyle and the way of their families. So, thank you both again for sharing your stories. There’s enough garbage in the world these days; I am jus thankful to be able to watch something so positive. Take care!
My husband of 43 years and I discovered your channel a couple of months ago. We so enjoy listening to your stories of growing up and of raising your own family. We both have lived our whole lives in Southern California and always dreamed of getting away to a small town somewhere. Family ties have always kept us here, but family is our life. We also hold alot of the same values you do. Watching your videos always warms our hearts. Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us. You bring peace to those of us who live in a very fast paced world. 🌻
Es ist wundervoll dass Ihr Euer Leben mit uns teilt. So ermutigend! Vielen vielen Dank! Ich freue mich so, dass wir in der gleichen Familie sind als Kinder unsres himmlischen Vaters. Gottes reichen Segen und Bewahrung! Und ich freue mich schon auf das nächste Video!! Herzliche Grüsse Mireille
I live in Europe and have learned a lot of the Amish from you and I find it very interesting, thank you for sharing, you are such great example for the children and the world.
Hi! I just found your channel and I have to admit I am binging all the episodes! I have so much to say but for now. I loved Priscilla‘s comment. Basically she stated in today’s times you don’t know what’s going to happen but we know we could live without any conveniences because of how we grow up. I wish I had all of your skills and knowledge.
I enjoyed this so much! As I listened to you talk about your experiences and how you feel blessed with your heritage, my heart just jumped in happiness! Over the years I’ve had this same revelation.. I miss my family so very much and hope and pray for unity!!!♥️✝️
Thank you for sharing and please share more on your past and present Amish life. I so enjoy when the two of you talk on a subject. You two are precious and your love for each other shines!! I think you are very good communicators. All glory to God! Love you and your family!! May Our Lord Bless and Keep You!!!
Don’t change anything about your videos, they are wholesome beautiful and uplifting. You have helped our household so much dealing with an acquired brain injured son (52) loss of dear loved ones and many challenges not to mention depression . You have pulled us through a lot. Thanks be to God. Love your whole family. 🕊🕊🕊🙏💐💐💐💐💐🙏🙏
Everything is perfect with the way you are video taping. I haven't started with any of these things yet so you guys inspire and encourage me on so many levels. I am looking forward in getting a log cabin built for myself and my husband that I am not married to yet in Jesus name amen.
You are my favorite couple to listen to on TH-cam, I always feel so peaceful and calm listening to you both, better than ice cold lemonade on a hot day, and better than a hot chocolate with marshmallows on the coldest day! Thank you for all you do on your channel! God bless you both also and your children and parents!
I am a believer, not Amish, but a few years ago felt God’s call of back to basics... I was drawn to the Amish lifestyle... that slow life... I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Thank you for sharing. I live in GA now, but used to live in PA, an hour and half from Lancaster. Loved going there and shopping and visiting all the many Amish and Mennonite shops. We actually got invited to a Mennonite home that had some traditional Amish food. Again, thank you for sharing your story.
Your Amish heritage and the many things you share are very interesting. I'm Irish descent and I watch videos of the old Irish way of life. Being born and raised on a farm in Kentucky I welcome your stories. It's a mystery to me as to why anyone would give this video a thumbs down. People can be so heartless. Keep these heartfelt stories coming.
Great video Joas & Priscilla!! The video in Switzerland was very moving & I thought I spotted you both in it 😊 I was raised Roman Catholic and converted to Anabaptism. I was rebaptized in 2001 because of the testimony and witness of our faithful forefathers. The Martyrs Mirror is an amazing compilation of accounts of the torture of the saints from the Apostles through to the 16th century persecution of non-resistant believers. Thank you for your faithful witness & loving, caring hearts! 😊❤️🙏🏻❌⭕️
I love hearing your stories! Being self sufficient is a blessing and you are sharing that with so many who need to hear it for the inner peace that we all need .
We viewed the series Breaking The Silence by Joseph Graber ,the trip to Switzerland was most interesting history for sure. Then we stumbled across your channel! God's Blessings to all of you!
I feel as though you are both my brother and sister in Christ and I have only watched your vedio's just the last few days. I truly believe you both are setting the real example of what a wife and husband are supposed to be to one another. God bless you for that. I am primitive Baptist . I believe in alot of your quality 's and belief's. Your children are precious! Keep your vedio's going because I believe God has put you both right here for a special purpose. You are two special people❤❤
Thanks for all you share. I live in California and was raised a little like you and in Amish country. I love your family and was raised too without a TV which I am thankful for. I enjoy all you share so much. Thanks,
Thanks for sharing your heritage with us, found it very interesting and as always I enjoy your channel very much. Many Blessings for you and your family.
I loved your first video and immediately watched the 2nd. You guys are dolls. What you learned as kids I’m teaching myself now. I moved to the mountains to get away from conveniences and society in general. I live like you but without the upbringing. Your values are my values. God bless!
I have always said I would like to live with AMISH neighbors because we too have high standards and I love homesteading. Love your family and community where ever it is,
It's amazing that you have so much love for your faith. I admire that. I have a love for my roots which could somewhat be the same I guess. I like living a simple life. It gets harder as you get older, but it is only as hard as you make it. God Bless you, Priscilla and your lovely family!
Vickie, we just received your book that you sent. Priscilla is really enjoying it! Many good old fashioned recipes in there that we are definitely going to make use of. Thank you so much!
@@MontanaHaven You are very welcome.! I was happy to send it. I am not Amish but I do appreciate my roots and I do live pretty primitive yet today! Lots of love to your family.
Like always I enjoyed y’all video!! Even though I’ve read about the Amish it’s Very interesting to hear someone who actually lived that life talk about it. Thanks for sharing ❤️
May God's blessings be yours as you live in Alaska. I have seen some of your pictures from Alaska and it's very interesting. One interesting thing two is that you have a set of twins . I'm a twin two and my twin has twins and my husband and I we live in 5:08 Middlebury Indiana . area . So we are so so we are acquainted with the Amish. We were to Alaska two different times. My husband also went up there on a motorcycle. May God bless you in your walk with the Lord. background was Amish too but we were never Amish as kids.
I watched your video at the auction for the school. Near the end of the video, Joas was showing a spreadsheet for the work assignments. I started wondering how you and your family have become so comfortable with technology in the short time between your life as old order Amish and today. From Priscilla's fashion and decorating skills to Joas's skills with modern milling and construction equipment, you are very modern. I mean that in a complimentary sense, not a derogatory sense.
I grew up in a seven child home with one bedroom. My parents got the bedroom. The children slept anywhere they could find a bare spot. We had an outhouse, water, but no hot water; and my mother always made my shirts. I got a new pair of Levi blue jeans every year as my Christmas present. It was a great life and it was the result of economic poverty. Your similar lives resulted from religious choice. I appreciate both.
Irregardless of how we grew up, we arrived at the same place in life. I accepted Christ at the age of eight and was baptized at twelve. I regard your videos as an evangelical ministry. Keep up the good work. God bless you and your family.
Thanks for sharing and as far as the observation of how we adapted. Probably over 15 or 20+ years we slowly adapted:-)
Regardless of where you grew up and beliefs,a humble beginning makes us more appreciative without being spoiled
You guys are the sweetest couple EVER! I've always been so curious about the Amish, having been born in a mennonite community myself. My family left it when I was only 2 so I know nothing of that life. I love your faith and passion to share Jesus! Please keep making videos!
You both are such a blessing to listen to as speak of the peace, which only comes from trusting in Jesus!
I live by a bunch of Mennonites in Missouri and I lived by Amish and I think you guys are the hardest workers I've ever met
I love your stories. The kindness from both of you is so easy to watch and listen to. Keep the videos coming. It is good to hear and understand how other families are raised. But our common denominator is Jesus Christ. God bless you all.❤❤
We would love to hear more about you 2003 trip to Switzerland that was life changing. It’s amazing the whole community was able to go there. That story would be very interesting!

Thank you Stanley!! Blessings!
I admire the Amish ppl and their family values and practices. Thanks for sharing your life and family with us!
I would love to come and experience living a Amish life for a week. And learn how to do things, to make my quilts better, the old way . Canning stuff.etc.
I loved every word you spoke!! It was so interesting!!!
Every video you make is wonderful and this was so interesting! We welcome all you have to share so please keep it up. Very dark times are here so let us encourage each other to hide and abide in Jesus. Thank you so much!
I agree. You provide such wonderful information. It is a joy to listen to you and learn!
I think it’s so important to share with others that although it might not be comfortable, we could all survive without many of the conveniences we currently have. I appreciate your family values and your sharing them on your channel. I grew up on a working dairy farm and my Dad also worked outside of the farm at another full-time job, so I understand being raised with a strong work ethic. It didn’t hurt me whatsoever.
I just discovered this couple by accident today and am thoroughly enjoying it. I love how Joas and Priscilla look at each other with such admiration.
We have a Amish Mennonite culture center near us called Be Halt, with a beautiful 360 degree mural highlighting church history. I appreciate learning about different cultures, especially the anabaptists.
Jos the way you consistently affirm your wife Priscilla in your videos is a real encouragement to me do so for my wife.
You are both so sweet & filled with peace & love.
Thank you Rosie!
I love both of you. I had been watching you for a while and I think you are both genuine and beautiful people. Thank you for explaining about the Amish, I came from the Philippines and the way you grew up reminds me of how we were brought up too. I like it when you always include God in your life, I grew up catholic and my faith is very important for me too, thanks again for everything that you’re doing.
You are a beautiful young couple with beautiful family! Really enjoy your videos!
I live in Calgary, Canada and I am 76 years old widow! May God keep blessing you 🙏🏻
I discovered you today. It is so nice to hear about your life and faith in Jesus. God bless you.
You are such a sweet couple.
Thank you and welcome Patty!
I am learning so much about the Amish community that I didn’t know.
Thank you for sharing. By the way you are such a sweet couple 🙂
I grew up just across the Indiana border in Ohio and the Amish were a part of life though they pretty much stayed to themselves. Your sharing opens it up even more. Thank you.❤️
I really feel a sense of community when I watch your videos! God bless us all!

Welcome to our family Angelika! Thank you so much for watching our videos and it is a huge blessing to us if they are a blessing to you! We are so thankful that you’re finding the love of the Father again! Blessings to you!
Thank you for this! I have always had an interest in the Amish. I appreciate your kind spirits.
Our Family just love your videos. Both of you are so humble and kind. The world needs many more like you. God Bless your Fsmily.
Thanks for your kind words!
I don't know how l came across your videos, but l have watched 3 now, and loved them all!! Looking forward to watching more. Keep those videos coming! God Bless you both and your lovely family.

I have been really enjoying your videos. We have seen many Amish in various places. So this is so informative as to how the Amish live. I will continue watching your videos. Thank you so much…
Looking forward to this video.
Have a great weekend!
Thank you for sharing your story with us. Your family is such a amazing blessing
Thanks!! Blessings!
You are a blessing in my life listening to your youthful life. I grew up as a weekend farm girl and my grandparents had no electricity, indoor plumbing.

You both have so much wisdom at such a young age learned a lot about the history of the amish today thank you and God bless
You guys rock! I look forward to all your videos because you are all just the sweetest people! I would cherish friends like you! Be blessed y'all! ✌😎🏴☠️

Thank you for sharing your faith and I love to see people living a simpler life. You both dona great job on the videos.
I’ve learned so much from you both . God Bless you and your Family

Ich freue mich so, dass wir in der gleichen Familie sind als Kinder unsres himmlischen Vaters. Gottes reichen Segen und Bewahrung!
Und ich freue mich schon auf das nächste Video!!

I so much enjoyed this "thank you so much"
My husband and I love your channel. You are a blessing.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful memories!
I live in Europe and have learned a lot of the Amish from you and I find it very interesting, thank you for sharing, you are such great example for the children and the world.
Awesome, thank you!

Wow Beryl, this is so encouraging!! We pray blessing, favor, and much peace over you during this most difficult time in your lives! God bless you!
Everything is perfect with the way you are video taping. I haven't started with any of these things yet so you guys inspire and encourage me on so many levels. I am looking forward in getting a log cabin built for myself and my husband that I am not married to yet in Jesus name amen.
Been reading Amish novels. I Love the books for the feeling of community. It’s very interesting to hear all about the lifestyle.
Thank you for the blessings. I added you to my prayer journal.
You are my favorite couple to listen to on TH-cam, I always feel so peaceful and calm listening to you both, better than ice cold lemonade on a hot day, and better than a hot chocolate with marshmallows on the coldest day! Thank you for all you do on your channel! God bless you both also and your children and parents!
It’s always so interesting to hear about your Amish life and I appreciate y’all sharing it. God Bless❤️😊❤️
Just Love You Both and your Family Joas and Priscilla You Do a Wonderful Story and Video!!❤❤
I Love You Guy’s Stories, Growing Up Amish!
I am a believer, not Amish, but a few years ago felt God’s call of back to basics... I was drawn to the Amish lifestyle... that slow life... I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Thank you for sharing. I live in GA now, but used to live in PA, an hour and half from Lancaster. Loved going there and shopping and visiting all the many Amish and Mennonite shops. We actually got invited to a Mennonite home that had some traditional Amish food. Again, thank you for sharing your story.
Your Amish heritage and the many things you share are very interesting. I'm Irish descent and I watch videos of the old Irish way of life. Being born and raised on a farm in Kentucky I welcome your stories. It's a mystery to me as to why anyone would give this video a thumbs down. People can be so heartless. Keep these heartfelt stories coming.
Thanks for watching!!
Great video Joas & Priscilla!! The video in Switzerland was very moving & I thought I spotted you both in it 😊 I was raised Roman Catholic and converted to Anabaptism. I was rebaptized in 2001 because of the testimony and witness of our faithful forefathers. The Martyrs Mirror is an amazing compilation of accounts of the torture of the saints from the Apostles through to the 16th century persecution of non-resistant believers. Thank you for your faithful witness & loving, caring hearts! 😊❤️🙏🏻❌⭕️
Wow! Thank you for sharing and blessings to you!
I love hearing your stories! Being self sufficient is a blessing and you are sharing that with so many who need to hear it for the inner peace that we all need .
Aren't we Blessed to have you guys reliving what our life should be like...thank you for your wisdom
This is maybe the 5th video of yours that I have watched. The more I watch, the more I like you. Im enjoying going through all the videos.
We viewed the series Breaking The Silence by Joseph Graber ,the trip to Switzerland was most interesting history for sure. Then we stumbled across your channel! God's Blessings to all of you!
I feel as though you are both my brother and sister in Christ and I have only watched your vedio's just the last few days. I truly believe you both are setting the real example of what a wife and husband are supposed to be to one another. God bless you for that. I am primitive Baptist . I believe in alot of your quality 's and belief's. Your children are precious! Keep your vedio's going because I believe God has put you both right here for a special purpose. You are two special people❤❤
We love your videos. You and the family have such a sweet spirit. God bless you all.
Thank you!
I always like your videos. You do a good job. Thanks for taking the time to share about your life.

Thanks for all you share. I live in California and was raised a little like you and in Amish country. I love your family and was raised too without a TV which I am thankful for. I enjoy all you share so much. Thanks,
Thanks for sharing your heritage with us, found it very interesting and as always I enjoy your channel very much. Many Blessings for you and your family.
I loved your first video and immediately watched the 2nd. You guys are dolls. What you learned as kids I’m teaching myself now. I moved to the mountains to get away from conveniences and society in general. I live like you but without the upbringing. Your values are my values. God bless!
I have always said I would like to live with AMISH neighbors because we too have high standards and I love homesteading. Love your family and community where ever it is,
I loved it from England
I enjoyed watching your video. I admire how much love you have for your upbringing. I look forward to watching your next video.
Thanks, you are a really sweet couple and I enjoyed every second. God bless...
Such a lovely testimony. Your compassion for people , and warm connection with viewers , make your videos great.

I love these type of videos. You do a great job! Thank you for sharing these stories.
It's amazing that you have so much love for your faith. I admire that. I have a love for my roots which could somewhat be the same I guess. I like living a simple life. It gets harder as you get older, but it is only as hard as you make it. God Bless you, Priscilla and your lovely family!
Vickie, we just received your book that you sent. Priscilla is really enjoying it! Many good old fashioned recipes in there that we are definitely going to make use of. Thank you so much!
@@MontanaHaven You are very welcome.! I was happy to send it. I am not Amish but I do appreciate my roots and I do live pretty primitive yet today! Lots of love to your family.
Like always I enjoyed y’all video!! Even though I’ve read about the Amish it’s Very interesting to hear someone who actually lived that life talk about it. Thanks for sharing ❤️

Thank you for sharing your story. You both are just natural on camera it's like sitting down and talking with friends. Great job and great video.
May God's blessings be yours as you live in Alaska. I have seen some of your pictures from Alaska and it's very interesting. One interesting thing two is that you have a set of twins . I'm a twin two and my twin has twins and my husband and I we live in 5:08 Middlebury Indiana .
area . So we are so so we are acquainted with the Amish. We were to Alaska two different times. My husband also went up there on a motorcycle. May God bless you in your walk with the Lord. background was Amish too but we were never Amish as kids.
I love your channels…please keep up the great work.
Thank you. It's a wonderful video. I'm grateful for your sharing your life the way you do!
