You sure are special people thanks.

Bless you, both, and your family. I so appreciate you sharing your life because I believe it will help the "English" people better understand the Amish cultures. My great-grandmother lived with Amish values and she helped care for me the first several years of my life. I remember the horse and buggy rides to church each Sunday, wrapped in a wool blanket in the snowstorms. Going to town on the buggy to get food from the store. I wore shoes when we left home. I had to use an outhouse, and pump water from the well to carry into the home. We used kerosene lamps. Had a wood stove in the middle of the large room where everyone slept. I have good memories and miss my great-grandma so much. Merry Christmas to all of you.

Great comment about college and producing! It’s hard for some of us, who haven’t been raised Amish to think a child should quit school after 8th grade, but I can see your point! I don’t think young people should go to college as a matter of course. All of my 7 children have gone to college and it hasn’t always been a positive thing in their lives, especially spiritually.

bless you and your wonderful family. you are a fine example what a solid and loving family unit feels like. i hope thousands around the world be inspired by you. god has blessed you to be the guiding light what true love and unity can do. you have my admiration. your videos made me feel like i belong. you are so natural and real and that is a quality i greatly admire in people and very rare to find. lots of love from Marilana in UK xx

Hi Valerie, we pray for restoration between you and your husband!

I’m reminded of a Bible verse reguarding children. Deuteronomy 11:19 And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

Thanks so much for the thoughtful answers! We appreciated hearing how others live and worship and maintain relationships with family and Christ.

Thank you for sharing about Christmas. I can agree with the idea of celebrating Christmas at any time of the year. Thank you for blessing me with the truth you believe it does resonate with my beliefs.

Beautifully said! Interesting that both of you speak 3 languages. What nationality are you? Am German descendant but don’t speak the language. My mom learn some and she said. The elders use it only to secretly talk. Sharing your beliefs about raising your children sure encouraging. Grace of our loving FATHER will always be with your family. Stay safe.

Thank you for this video. I like your godly way of life and your happiness because you are following the ways of God and our Lord. I can see it in your whole family and I am so happy for you. I enjoy your videos so much and you have shown that being Amish is more than just the way one dresses.

What a lovely pleasure listening to the two of you. Thank you. Love from San Diego, California.

New sub here! I just found your channel yesterday and I'm loving it!! I've always been fascinated by the Amish. Especially their family closeness, sense of community, work ethic, connection with the land, etc. I know they're not perfect as I have heard you all say as well. We all need the Lord, and when he is at the center, everything else falls into place. Anyway, I love seeing how your faith and Amish heritage shines through your own unique family story....it encourages me also in the things that matter the most. Thank you all for putting yourselves out there and making this channel. It is a ministry as people see God's love in your daily life. Blessings

A pen pal can also be found through a church or house of worship. When I was a teenager I had one in Italy and that’s how I found her. A local church made the connection.

I enjoy learning how others live - not only does it teach us empathy, tips and new skills but is a reminder of how varied and great America is. Although I do not believe in pedigree dogs or breeding animals for sale ( so many cats and dogs are in shelters needing homes ) I respect the cleanliness of the area where you house your dogs. Also the respectful way both of you speak of your families, your children, and all others. Your gratitude to The Lord shines. Wishing you the best from a windy day in the great State of Maine

Your video today was very good I enjoyed it a lot period and you're right if a child is brought up in the way that he should but the time that they are 8 years old they've got a good foundation and can make good decisions I have a college education but I'm about to get over it where God can really use me. I graduated from from a southern baptist seminary in Kansas City Missouri and lived in Montana in Superior Montana for a while . When I was a little girl my dad used to tell us to have a relationship with God and not a religion so that we wouldn't become so heavenly minded that we wouldn't be any earthly good, and I think he meant to see where God is working and be right in the middle of it. I enjoyed today with you guys God bless you.

Oh how like-minded we are!! My mom and dad were raised horse and buggy Amish, but I was raised in IN as Mennonite. Found out later in life, my Amish uncles served in the 1-W service in hospitals rather than military in the '60s. My hubby was drafted and shipped out 3 days after we were married. Thank God, he went to Germany and not to Viet Nam. He served his 2 years as patriotic as his "worldy" uncles from Toledo. I married an Englischer but am almost Amish at heart. Always love and visit family when I can as I live near Atlanta. I want to visit Montana and sounds like your "cold, windless" winters are bearable. I still have not connected our heritage, yet, but surely are if we come from the Amish. My ancestors came from Switzerland, Jacob Hochstetler and the Yoder families. Love you so much and I enjoy your sharing and spreading the Good News. I can't remember if you ever joined the Amish Church as to be shunned when you converted to be more liberal. Young folks usually join church before marriage. I know your community is a bit different. My Amish sister is now New Order. I told her our commitment should be to Jesus and not the man made rules and regulations. Oh, I need to stop. I could write a book, too. Oh, reminds me, I need to look at the book links you mentioned. Have a Merry Christmas! We will not be gathering as a family as I am susceptible and missing funerals as well. Good bless all of you and yours. Karen Yoder

Hello again from my side of Montana!

Have always wanted to visit Montana! Maybe one of these days! I'm from Virginia. Have you ever heard of a place called Burke's Garden? Alot of Amish did live there at one time. Some call it God's Thumbprint because from the air in an airplane it looks just like a thumbprint and of course with it being such a beautiful place they call it God's Thumbprint!! God Bless You!!!!

I'm not an expert on anything, but your born amish, so no matter what kind of lifestyle you have, your background is Amish, I'm a Mexican mennonite, but we have changed so much, but I still believe I'm a Mexican mennonite, even if I'm a Christian, that's how I believe, and just letting you know that we love your videos

Just tried the Apple cider vinegar drink. It’s very tasty, thank you.

Hello Montana Haven! I have been following you since the summer of 2020, but since I watch on t.v., I am unable to comment. I'm using my mobile phone so I may comment and ask a question?? Love your channel, and being a woman of 58 yo, I wanted to firstly say that I'm mostly thankful for your channel for the Godly example to the world that I know you are. Parents need beautiful channels like this. My question is..I have heard that real estate can be high priced in your state; so how can folks with very modest income heading into retirement, actually afford a bit of land?? You guys are a blessing and thank you for sharing God's hope and promises ❤❤❄

It’s probably priced similarly to other places. Beautiful property with water or in town are going to be more expensive than further out in the country, but prices on land did go up significantly. Bare land is still priced reasonably usually

Your stools/ end tables turned out to be lovely. Look great with your sofa.

Lovely video and it's nice to hear you share about your life and faith. Here is a question maybe you could answer sometime. Do you have health insurance through conventional health insurers or through your community?

So interesting to hear you speak of your life ... we don’t have any Amish in England so it’s fascinating hearing about that and Mennonite s too

I heard this which seems to sum up what you are doing as an extended family: In essentials UNITY. In non-essentials, CHARITY. In ALL THINGS, to glorify CHRIST.

THANK YOU SHARING YOUR LIFE FULL OF LOVE. ONE IMPORTANT ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE I DON"T SEE YOU SHARING I WONDER WHY. ALL THE TIME YOU EAST, YOU NEVER THANK THE LORD FOR YOUR MEALS.

I truly believe it has to do with their children using their knowledge from a young age. For instance a carpenter aprentice learns math and algebra in school, but learns how to use it when to build a house or a barn. They see their parents do it and aply what they have learned (sometimes without realizing) to make sense of how their parents do things. Same goes for mesurements in baking and sewing.
