I was also raised Amish (PA Amish) !! I came across your video and I thought it’s probably just another bitter ex Amish couple 😬 but am thrilled to hear your story and how you still respect your culture and heritage ❤️❤️ love your story🥰 many blessings to you and your family!

My wife Sandy and I just watched your twin story and can so relate. We we’re married at 19 and at 22 had our first pregnancy. When we felt Sandy’s belly we felt lots of movement. We even ask the doctor if she could be having twins but were assured that we weren’t. (Pre ultrasound)On the delivery table when the doctor said “that’s a very small head for this big of a baby I almost passed out and left the room I don’t think Sandy even realized that I had left. I was afraid that was something wrong and cried out to God. Then the nurse poked her head in the waiting room door and said congratulations Pop! You’ve got a beautiful daughter. I asked if everything was OK and she said yes. A few minutes later she came back into the room and said well Pop you got another one just like her! At first I couldn’t believe it but when I realized it was true I instantly remembered a prayer that I had prayed as a nine-year-old boy with one much older brother who picked on me constantly ha ha. My prayer was oh God please let me have twin daughters someday. And oh please let them be beautiful. And he did and they are. Thank you for doing this series it’s really blessing us. We’re not Amish but we identify with some of your struggles. God is good and love never fails.

My mother is Dutch. My great grandfather came to the US through the Dutch Church and lived in Schenectady NY. Then moved to Iowa. My grandfather moved to Nebraska purchased land/farm. When my mother married she moved to California where I was born.We had no running water until I was a teenager. My parents had 15 children three sets of twins. I have a twin sister. My mother spoke the dutch language which we all learned as children. My mother encouraged all of us children to get jobs very young. I truly loved working as a young person. All of my siblings have became very successful. So glad my family was hard working. Judy

Favorite memory as a child with Amish was corn boils and taffy pulls, and YES, ice skating...the hymn sings were all in English, but it was awesome fun...im glad you are informing ppl about the Amish ppl, they are devoted, loving ppl, and they took this little English girl and tucked me into their community, it was a special gift THEY gave me...the area was called Big Valley here in Pa...

I hope you continue with your stories. I had a similar story as a Missionary in the wilderness in British Columbia. We had only one church for all denominations including mennonites those who were Sumaveltor mennonites, spirit filled mennonites, Dutch Reformed and pentcostals, spirit filled Baptist. We ran a school with the mennonites as teachers.

To Priscilla....Thank you for keeping your modesty. You look beautiful, but still modest. i just watched a channel of a couple of sisters that were brought up Amish, that have totally switched to looking like the world, trying to show their bodies. it saddened me to see that they totally switched. It breaks my heart. You are proof that a woman can look beautiful, have beautiful hair, dress gorgeous but decent and remain modest and on top of that stay modest but firm in your talk, be a great mother and wife. Thank you for such a great channel.

I am not Amish but I actually grew up with ‚running water‘ as in ‚you have to run and get it‘ too. Never thought to call it that 😂. I grew up in a cabin in the mountains. I always dreaded brushing my teeth in the morning because the spring-water was so cold 🥶. It did wake you up in a flash though! Great memories

Great video

This shows some of the diversity of backgrounds of Amish childhood. Some childhood experiences are much better than others.

Hi. I just found your channel. It was so interesting and loved hearing about how you grew up. I've always been so interested in the Amish culture and always read about it whenever I come across books. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I will definitely be watching all of your past videos ❤️

I love to hear you stories. You two are so sweet and God has richly blessed your family ❤

This is the reason why I love the internet. So many different walks of life and the ability to learn every day.

This was so interesting. We also grew up with an outhouse as well. I was born in the fifties and young ones laugh today when we tell them we cut up newspaper into squares and stuck it on a nail in the outhouse. Toilet paper from the shop was not available. I have never had a clothes dryer, always dry our washing on the clothes line outside in the sun. There are quite a few people who are turning back to the older ways here in Australia. A lot of people even living in cities have veggie garden. We live on a small suburban block and my husband built me a chicken house during COVID lockdown an we now have 4 hens. Our veggie garden takes up half of our backyard.

I live in Parke County Indiana, and there's a huge Amish presence here. But they are very traditional Amish. There are horses and Buggies frequently going down the main main roads. For a while I used to drive the Amish around to places that we're too far to get in horse and buggy. I kind of admire their life Style. Sometimes in the fall I will just go park on a back-road and watch them Harvest with their non-traditional Machinery. Thanks for sharing your story 😁

PS. People are starving and desperate to here you’re testimony. What a blessing you two and kids are. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

WOW! I admire your family and how you have held onto the positive parts of your up bringing ❤

The way you two look at each other when you talk shows true love. So fun listening. I got into these you tube videos because I have a lot of Amish farms next to me in the town I just moved to in Maine. It seems as though they are jut building up the community in the town. Bought some baked goods from them and they were delicious!

Would love to hear more including the transition from how you were raised to how you chose to live now. What led you to the decisions you’ve made for your family.

Thank you for sharing your story. We are all precious works in progress and I love hearing of different cultures♥️

Love hearing about the Amish way of life! Your stories of growing up Amish and current beliefs are extremely interesting! Please keep them coming!
