I’m from Springfield, Missouri and we have so many Amish and Mennonite communities around us. My husband and I visited in Tennessee to meet Michael and Debi Pearl over 9 years ago. When we were there we befriended an Amish couple who traveled from PA to meet the Pearl’s as well. They were born again Christians but asked for prayers for many of their elderly family members back home in PA who were not saved! My husband and I along with many of us assumed because of the simple Amish lifestyle that they were Christians. Like all of us, they are in need of a Savior too! Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece of your family with us! Very special!

I hope your Mother was treated kind by her siblings and enjoyed seeing them. Glad she had so many of her kids with her.

You are a beautiful soul... Such a sweet voice and a sweet person, so tender and thoughtful and humble. I am sure they were thrilled to see you after all this time, and barriers were broken. God bless you, sister...

Wow. Tons of feelings came flooding back just watching this, after being removed from the community for so long. Great job on getting the shots you did at the funeral. Good job.

So glad you all went to honor her. Thank you for sharing such a personal story. ♥️

How lovely that you honoured your Aunt and at the same time you and your siblings supported your mother in the loss of her sister, it cannot be easy when a family is splintered by belief’s or religion.

Condolences on the loss of your aunt, but such a gift to be able to go back to your people! Thank you for sharing this most personal experience.

Priscilla, first I’m sorry for the loss of your Aunt. Second thank you so much for sharing your Amish heritage, and for sharing a bit of what an Amish funeral is like. The light of Jesus shines in you, the kind, loving, sweet person you are! I love your videos about your family and your homestead. I was thinking, that I hadn’t seen a new video and I was missing it! Thank you again God Bless Montana Haven family

I indeed did enjoy this video! I admire that when you speak of your relatives, even with having gone through some tough times, you have no bitterness in your voice or heart, only love, compassion, and gentleness. The Father's love coming out of you is apparent, unconditional love! We all pray that the blessed assurance you speak of will be known by all our family members. Thank you for sharing. Your family is a blessing.

Thank you for showing us. For 22 years my husband and I went to Lancaster Co., Pa. shopping for antiques. I was very interested in those people and their way of life. I know the area so well and miss it. I wish life was simpler for us. I am sorry you lost your aunt and sorry you did not know them.

I love that you showed them so much respect.

After reading your dad's book and then seeing the funeral and knowing how it feels to have fractured family relationships, my heart goes out to your mom at the loss of her sister. There has to be so many mixed emotions.

My heart pulled for you, your mother and siblings. And then to see your people. What a treasured moment. That feeling of being one to them, connected. Sights, sounds, smells. And even now your heart must ache to connect again. I will pray for them, to truly know the love of Jesus, and His free gift of salvation, that security in the Father's arm. Thank you for allowing us to come.

It was a privilege to have this glimpse. Thank you, Priscilla.

Priscilla, I'm so glad for you, your mother and siblings, that you were able to connect with your relatives. It's a sad time, yes, but also good that you were able to show Christ's love through you.

A wonderful glimpse into the "Old world Amish" lifestyle done with great dignity to the members. Oh, do I remember well the funerals as a little girl. As I was watching the video on the way to the burial site, I could smell the wool blanket and feel the itchiness I felt like a little 4-year-old girl. My great grandmother would tell me to keep my face in the blanket, it was always a snowstorm for a winter funeral, and little girls want to SEE so keeping my head and face in that wool blanket was really hard to do. My great grandmother did not permit power in the home, running water, and I remember learning to use the washboard to do laundry, too. Although those years were hard, I am so grateful I had that experience and learned from my wonderful great-grandmother. Thank you, Priscilla, for sharing this video and experience. Happy New Year to you and your whole family.

What a beautiful glimpse into an honest perspective that is wholesome and respectful. Thank you

I just started watching your videos, and I Love when I hear some of the children speak Dutch. I understand every word! God Bless you all. ☺

This was very interesting. It was almost like going back in time where time stands still. Thank you for sharing. 💞

Wow! So beautiful! I’m so glad your family received you well. I’ve always had a great love for the Amish community and highly respect them. So glad I ran across and subscribed to your channel. Blessings!

So glad to see you didn't take pictures of their faces. You showed them honor. God bless you from Michigan

You and your family showed such great respect for your Aunt and her family by going to the funeral.

Sweet of you and your sisters and brothers supporting your Mom going to the funeral. I agree what a beautiful journey.

I’m so sorry to hear of your Aunt’s passing. May her memory be for a blessing. I’m also glad you weren’t shunned too much. It’s got to be hard to deal with and I’m so happy you kids were there for your Mother and a good support for her. Family stuff can be hard. But I pray that perhaps a tiny door is opened and you can communicate with them. I think we will all meet in heaven, no worries about that. Again, I’m sorry.

Thanks for sharing. May seeds be planted there with your people. Lord, touch them and may they remember the presence that Priscilla and her family brought there. No tradition or culture should take away the truth of your word. So finish what you started in her extended family...that there will be much fruit left there. Jesus, you are so good. Thank you for Montana Havens sharing and allowing us to get glimpses of their life and testimony of you. I hope Priscilla that you get some rest. I pray you will have more opportunity to minister to the Amish Community.🙏

You have such a beautiful family. Thank you for sharing this sad/special funeral time with us! Thank you for honouring your relatives privacy by not filming the funeral. Yes, finding Jesus...that is what the world needs!

Sorry for your loss. My parents were also shunned when we broke away from the Amish. I was 12 at the time. Sounds like your family and mine experienced the same thing. I don't know many of my relatives either. This is the first time I seen your videos. I'll have to check them out and sub. Thank you!

Beautiful footage, despite some sad circumstances. God bless. I love watching your channel and get so inspired by your lifestyle. Thank you for taking the time to share

I am so sorry for your loss. All families have hardships, as you know. Your heart is huge for facing the uncertainties you have dealt with, and continue to deal with. Sometimes our faith carries us well. It shows🙂

What a wonderful story and I love how humble and caring you present them. The lesson here for me is to show the Lords love in all things.

Pricilla, your love for your family goes back to your great-grandparents and beyond. Bless you.

That was beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I like the mountain music playing as well!

How sweet are you!! I don’t know how your channel came across my feed but I sure am glad it did. And may God bless you as well.

So sorry for your loss,Priscilla you did a amazing job with the video, and to enjoy a bit with your family.

Thank you for sharing this special time with us. Loved the music added and scenery.

This touched my heart as all of your videos do. It is difficult to be treated differently and yet they are your own people. I am so happy you got to see your Uncles and cousins and some others. It had to be hurtful to be shunned back years ago and I am glad you did the right thing and honored your aunt and her family and her life. You hold no grudge and you shared that by being there and holding that most important that family is family no matter what! You're such a beautiful spirit and heart and I am so happy you had this video up tonight. Blessings and thank you for sharing these emotions, they are so pure and true.

Thank you Priscilla for sharing this special time with us. I am so thankful you were able to join the others in the home and not be in an overflow room. As I know you were looking forward to the opportunity to connect with your family. It is always nice to be with your immediate family and catch up (siblings/parent). My condolences for the loss of your aunt. Even though you did not have the opportunity to know her personally you were there to honor and show your respect, and support your mother. Blessings to you and your family.

It was so very special to be able to watch. I'm surprised they would even let you video that much. Prayers for the family.

I loved this. Those hills of Kentucky is so beautiful. Even on a rainy and sad day. And the music was perfect. That is the music of the hills and mountains of KY and TN (TN is where I grew up).

Praying with you for your extended family, that God will open their eyes and hearts to Jesus love for them.

Thank you for sharing this video. This must have been hard for all of you. So sorry for your moms loss. You have a beautiful family.

What a precious thing you all did, to go back and show your love for your family members. ❤

I appreciate how you spoke about your relatives. Very respectful. My parents also left the Amish so I understood a lot of what your feelings were. Thanks for the video!

This was lovely to see!! Thank you for sharing giving us the chance to see your people! Also lovely to see your family....I shared your video about your wonderful mother.,with my church family ! They all enjoyed it.....God bless you...Fondness wishes from England!!.......x

I'm so glad you were able to reconnect with your extended family. It's a sad fact today it seems a lot of families only connect at weddings and funerals

What a fellowship what a joy divine leaning on his everlasting arms--leaning, leaning leaning on the everlasting arms. Amen.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful, touching family experience. Blessings and love to you all!

What a precious moment. Thank you for taking the time to share.

Sorry to hear of your loss praying for you and your family, God Bless you all.

This was beautiful. Thank you for sharing your heart. I was very moved by it. Even though I live in Maine I have been to the Denver airport several times. God bless you.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR LOVELY FAMILY PRISCILLA!! MAY GOD BLESS YOU AS YOU LIVE FOR HIM!!! ❤️🙏🏻✝️

Thank you, Priscilla, for sharing these family images with us. Glad you were able to be there. It was good for them to see you and for you to see them after such a long time!

Priscilla. You are such a very dear sister in Christ. The Lord bless you and keep you.

Dear Priscilla, thank you for sharing this peek into that community. I too pray they come to know the grace the Father offered through His son. I am glad you had a good trip. I bet your Mom was so proud of all of you.

Hearing the hope for your family that they know the plan of salvation brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for the glimpse into your family and your people. It was a beautiful tribute! Also, I was SO happy for your mom that she was able to go to her sister’s funeral. I imagine it might have been a little intimidating to go somewhere you may not be welcome. But she didn’t go alone. She was accompanied by those that love her. How blessed she is to have loving children! 🥰

God bless you, Priscilla 💛 You are such a precious person. I'm sorry your Aunt passed. Thank you for sharing with everyone another glimpse into Amish life. Glad you were able to go with your siblings & mama, to see your extended family. Yes, I agree it's sad that it takes a death to bring us all together sometimes. Sending you warm wishes for a wonderful new year ahead. 💛

I loved the true warmth of all your precious family. This was a very informative video and reminder of our families everywhere around the world , I've been neglecting prayers, for. We all are in need of prayers. Feeling very blessed to have viewed the rekindled love!

It`s hard when you lose a loved one. Stay strong and thank you for sharing this with the world. And God bless you and your family.

Thank you for sharing this special moment. You are good people. God Bless you all.

Thank you, Priscilla, for showing us the footage of to your trip. A sad time, but I’m sure you are glad you went!

I am sorry for the loss of your aunt, Priscilla. That had to be hard on all of you. My prayers are with you and your family. Thank you for sharing.

Sorry about the passing of your Aunt and everything that happen when you were young that made it hard to have a relationship with her. I'm glad you all decided to go out and pay your Respects, that quilt won't weigh on your heart.

Thank you for sharing this. It's a privilege to get to see and understand more about how other people live and how they believe. God Bless you.

I found this incredibly sad. I actually cried watching it. I am so sorry for the loss of not only your Aunt, but the many years and triumphs you lost by not being able to share them with your Family because they originally shunning you. I can feel that pain myself, as my siblings have done the same after our Parents passing. I think you're such a sweet soul and really do enjoy your wholesome and informative videos. Stay safe and know that you and your wonderful Family are held dear in the many hearts of the people who watch your videos.

So beautiful! I was raised in a very legalistic church and when I began to question many of the practices/rules we were following my husband and I chose to step away but to follow the Lord in a different church altogether. Anyone leaving those type of churches go through a similar "shunning" when seeing friends or relatives that still belong to those churches. It was special that knowing what faced your family that you had the love and grace to go to your aunt’s funeral.

Oh Priscilla, I cried. It was so heartfelt and I appreciate the glimpse the life of the more conservative Amish community you came from. And the hardships of what living that life must be like. Yet I understand that they are living the life they know. I too pray they don’t just hope but know they can get to heaven through the plan of salvation, Love and sympathy to you and your family.

I love your videos. Even though I did not grow up amish, I grew up in the 50s on a dairy farm in Michigan. I reminise on the love and joy that life was then. Hard work and loving family and community. This world is so different now. Thankyou for showing us that good Christian values are still alive. God bless You and your family💕

Thank you for sharing such a personal and tender time with your family. I do not dought that your humility and your loving demeanor had a positive impact on your extended family. I believe God uses us, especially when we exhibit the fruits of the spirit to open hearts and let the holy spirit work. Blessings to your family.

Thank you for sharing this experience. I think you were about three hours from my home here in WVa. It was certainly a privilege to have this respectful glimpse of Amish life and loss. I loved the music.

Pricilla your love for your family is so precious. I’m so glad that your family could go to your aunts funeral and spend time with them. Your love and forgiveness and wanting them to have assurance of salvation was the heart of the Father. Love you and your family❤️🙏🏻

Thank you for sharing your journey back for you aunt's funeral. You were very respectful, and even though it had to be hard in many ways, it's a memory that you, your mom, and brothers and sisters will cherish forever! I love the footage of the two little boys in the back "rumble seat" of that hack on the way to your uncle's home for the burial. My dad's grand-mother's family (Etter family) came from Switzerland back before the American Revolution, settling in Pennsylvania. (Some moved to New Bern, North Carolina, as well.) I am a preacher for a small country church, here in Illinois. My family is a large one, so God has blessed me very much!) I wish I could find out more about them! So, it's good that you have the books written by family, the videos, etc. May God bless you and your family!

After just joining your videos and watching, it is comforting to see your stories. Thank you so much for sharing and blessings to your family

Thank you for sharing! You are so sweet! I was adopted as a little girl, and as an adult I found out my history. It turns out I came from a Mennonite background. I’ve traced my history back to the 1800’s. I know Mennonite and Amish aren’t the same, but I love hearing and reading about them both. This video was very precious! 😊

Priscilla my condolences to your family for the loss of your aunt and thank you for sharing the funeral with us ❤🦋🦋🦋🌻🌻🌻🐝

Thank you for making your videos. I really enjoy your Christian, Amish, conservative, earthy, loving, family, mind set. I long for more of that in my crazy life. Thanks for sharing your life, your thoughts, your goodness, your Lord with me and others. Blessing a many.

I’m glad you went with your Mom so she could go to her sister’s funeral. It’s sad though that she couldn’t see her while she was alive.

Thank you for sharing a glimpse of your heritage with us. Heaven knows the seeds that you and your mother and siblings planted. I know that God will use this for his good.

Your words were honorable and beautiful. Thank you for letting me see " your people" through your loving eyes. A blessed new year to you and yours..

So nice. I am a new subscriber. I love hearing about the Amish. We have an Amish made cross in our church. We love to buy Amish products when we see them. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Blessings to you.

Priscilla, this was very heartfelt and I really appreciated that you were giving us, your viewers, a glimpse into the much more conservative Amish community in Kentucky. I was born in Indiana and it has been a very long time since I was in Kentucky. I forgot how desolate parts of it are and it looked harsh now that winter has set in as well. It cannot be an easy existence there. I enjoyed seeing their open buggies as well. You have a very nice family and you do show your willingness to follow Jesus footsteps by your genuine caring and friendly compassion during what must have been a difficult time. I am so sorry for the loss of your Aunt. You can be comforted with the thoughts of her heavenly life now. Thank you.

This is a beautiful video of a glimpse in the life of the Amish people. I’m sorry for the loss of your aunt. My sympathies go out to your mother and all your family. I pray your relatives will one day come to know the assurance of their salvation. Amish people and their way of life are fascinating to me. May God bless you and your family always and thank you again for allowing us to be shown the way of life of your relatives.

Such a Sobering video.... Beautiful farmland.... My heart was sad for your Mother's Loss of her Sister..... Thanks for sharing this precious time with us.... God Bless y'all

So sorry for your loss. 😢 It is wonderful that you and your siblings could take your mother. I’m sure it meant a lot to her. I was born and raised in southeastern Ky. My family is Baptist and I was saved when I was 10 and baptized. I never knew very much about the Amish or Mennonite lifestyle and beliefs. I’m enjoying videos that have helped me to understand more. God bless you and your family. Wish we lived closer. I think it would be awesome to meet you and visit. 🤗

Just recently found your Chanel. I am enjoying all the blessings you share with us. What a gift it had to have been to your mother how you all came together to travel together to hold her in such a sacred yet sad time. Blessings to you and your family.

Thank you so much, Priscilla, for the small glimpse of the very conservative Amish life. Growing up near the Amish in Ohio I always took an interest in their way of life. I never personally knew any Amish. I did not know if they preached about assurance of salvation or not. I now feel the urge to pray for those who don't know that assurance. God bless you and your family. You are one of my favorite KZfaq channels.

Very special video. I appreciate y'all being respectful even though you don't live in that certain community anymore. It will speak volumes to them of your love and the love of God for them.

Priscilla thank you so much for sharing. Family is important one never knows where you will end up one day. I believe your uncles and aunts & cousons were happy to see you guy's aswell. We have to reach out to one another i think this trip meant the world to your mom. May God bless you're all. Love from Namibia 💖

The little boys are so precious, so sad, But we have to do it. You are so pretty and beautiful. Your husband and your children are blessed to have you. I did enjoy this video,don’t ever stop making them, I love you

Those 2 little boys in the back of the wagon are adorable. You have such a gentle soul and beautiful heart. Thank you for taking us during such a delicate time. God bless you.

Priscilla I'm sure your sweet spirit helped pave the way for it to be a meaningful trip. Thank you for sharing this personal family experience

Your video is very interesting. I’m so glad you made it and shared it with us. Loved your commentary at the end , you have a good heart. Thank you very much. FM. from Missouri

Priscilla, it's Gail, thank you so much for that lesson in life!!! Although there is all races, we were all created by the same loving Father!!! I do think it's sad to be, as you say, shuned!! I know when a relative may get upset with another, they may not speak for awhile but never "throw one another out". It's just sad. I'm glad you and your family did go on because had you not, you would have regretted it the rest of your life!!!!! I feel that you are such a special person and even though our acquaintance is through youtube...i feel blessed!!! Take care and God Bless!!!!

Thank you so much for sharing your family's touching journey. So sorry for you loss. May the Lord touch the hearts of your family members in Kentucky & help them to truly know Christ as Savior. What a wonderful tribute to your Aunt & family that you all made the long, quick trip!! God bless you all!!

As I watched this video and knowing your background of how your mother came from darkness into light by the revelation of Jesus Christ my heart broke for your Kentucky relatives that have not had that revelation. I too will pray with you that they will have an experience as your mother had that brought your whole family out of lifelong bondage to a works religion because we know in our hearts that we can never do enough good works to merit heaven; that is why we who are born again by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ are such a joyful people and the contrast between your family and your Kentucky relatives is a perfect picture of this.

Thank you for sharing, well said. God Bless and keep you close to HIS heart and walking in all HIS ways.

Thank you Pricilla for sharing this time with us. You are a kind woman. Prayers for you and your family.

I have been watching some of your videos and can see the love of Jesus in your lives! But the respect you had for your relatives by wearing a headship veiling was simply beautiful! Sometimes wen we are with our Amish family or plainer relatives we also try to respect them in small ways! I love my Amish relatives,,,,,,but most of all you nailed it wen you said we can all have the assurance of salvation! Let us pray for each other and not faint by the way!

That was beautiful, thank you for showing us this video. I just came home from Lowville NY, my mom lives in this small Amish community town. I also saw this beautiful little girl with her parents. She was so cute looking at us from her buggie.

WOW !!!!! this was so precious. What a beautiful Love Story of a family. GOD BLESS YOU and thank you for sharing your heart.

Thanks for sharing, Priscilla. Blessings for you and your family near & far.
