My Parents are Moving to Serbia for TWO YEARS!
Рет қаралды 56,677
Күн бұрынWe were lucky enough to capture the final days leading up to my parents' departure for Serbia where they will volunteer full-time for two years! They received their assignment, spoke in church, attended some training, and we all said our goodbyes. More than ever, we are so glad that we will be able to stay connected through technology. Be sure to subscribe to their channel to see all their adventures in Serbia!
We can't thank you enough for all your love and support. So many of you are from different faiths, and regardless of your beliefs, we're glad that you're sharing this journey with us as Grandpa and Grandma spread love and light in the world.

@Bettinaen 2 жыл бұрын
Sad that Ruby thinks living the truth is to cut off from her family (as I speculate she has, I obviously don't have any answers but seeing as they are never at family events anymore that's how I see it). I am so glad the rest of you stick together and still have the same love and affection for each other as I have watched you for several years now

I think Ruby will regret things like this one day she may not admit it now now but moments like this doesn't happen everyday. It is sad that she has chosen to just cut this pat of her family out of her life ! Life is to short to play games like this and to pretend they don't even exist!!! The rest of you are doing the right thing and sticking together I'm sure you're parents are pleased for one thing you have been this way for a very long time. Plus it gives them peace of mind as they go away on their mission! ♥️ to you all!!! ☺️

@@Ottilie2306 ruby and a woman called jodi (I think that’s her name) have some sort of group called “moms of truth” it genuinely seems like some sort of cult and their views on certain subjects are disgusting.

I am heartbroken for your parents that Ruby has chosen to not be a part of this amazing mission that your parents have left on! I love how you and your other siblings are so close and so supportive of each other and your parents-It’s like I can feel the love between all of you thru the screen. I have been watching all of the goodbyes on Bonnie and Ellie’s channels as well and they are just so tender and sweet! I am in prayer for your family that Ruby will be shown that her connection with Jodi Hilderbrandt and that organization is not a good way to go, not only because she hurt your brother but because of the toxic way Jodi interferes in family relationships and often pushes them apart instead of doing all she can to bring families together. I will be praying for your parents as well as I know this must be so hard on them. Your whole family, siblings and all are such an inspiration❤
