- We 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.

Grandma was a SAVAGE at the arm wrestling!
Julie I LOVE how you made this all 1 vlog!
Hello Julie I miss seeing your family UA-cam videos every other day I hope you start up again❤😊 I’m glad your parents are back from their mission
Not sure how you guys kept it together so well. They aren't even my parents and I feel it too! Could not imagine my parents leaving for two years. Such a sacrifice
Right
My mom went north it’s almost two months and I’m sad
How sad that Ruby chose not to be a part of this beautiful occasion.
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
Why doesn’t Ruby she the family anymore
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 really liked to watch ruby’s channel but I have lost all respect for her, especially as she’s completely cut out her family.
I wonder what happened to Rudy and her family that's so sad they're missing out on all of them😔😔😔🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️❤️❤️❤️
@@sophie12384 me too..
Goodbyes are not easy. When all the grandchildren are singing for their grandparents that is so touching! Wish Ruby and family are here to join in the farewell
I really hope Ruby said goodbye in private. If not she will regret this later!!
After I lost my mom I thought about every time I didn’t go see her and I wish I had all that time back. Ruby is messing up!
Everyone’s goodbye vlogs have been great. But yours was really touching that it made me teary eye
Thank you for your love and support!
@@JulieDeru your welcome. I love how you brought different times of the year together leading up to the airport.
@@JulieDeru I watch your whole family's vlogs and I don't like one thing ... that I cry all the time seeing goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa, even though I've already seen it ... I'm still crying!
I travelled to Serbia a few years ago. A beautiful country, rich with culture and nice and welcoming people. Hope grandpa and grandma Griffith will enjoy their mission. May god bless their journey with joy, love and lots of great memories. ❤️❤️
What an example! The tears were flowing watching you all. Thank you for taking us along on the journey and sharing a glimpse into your personal family experience ❤️
Julie & Landon I hope you guys know that you are supported and loved during this time! Thank you for sharing these special moments with the world. I seriously hope that all works out between you guys and Ruby’s family. I think these moments will one day be some of her biggest regrets in life. Praying for you guys❤️
This was sweet and a tear jerker for sure. I wish them nothing but Blessings, and I pray that the Lord places a hedge of protection around them and keep them well most of all safe!! They truly are great Examples of Gods Love!!!🙏🏻
Ya’ll kept it together. I think everyone else who watched this is balling! 😭❤️
Not sure how you guys kept it together so well as I would cry my eyes out! This was so sad but I know your parents are doing something so great! Love you guys!
Ahhh, this is the same heartache I felt yesterday watching Bonnie’s vlog. Thanks for sharing. I’ve learnt a lot about keeping a home and baking from grandma Griffiths. Will miss them too :(
My favorite Betty Lantz Wonderful
Hi from Belgrade, Serbia! Don’t worry, they will have a great time here! Love the drawings of Serbian flag 😊
All of you guys kept it together really well I don’t know how you did it. I was crying when I saw yours and Bonnie’s vlogs my grandparents served 2 missions from 1991-1993 and 1995-1997 I remember saying good bye to my grandparents at the airport I was crying and gave them big hugs I was 4 and 8 when they left. Grandpa and Grandma Griffiths will be wonderful missionaries and touch so many life and people along the way.
I will raise my kids to know Christ and love him passionately the way y'all do
I think I have cry more watching all your kids and the other kids say goodbye ❤️ such a sweet family ❤️
same
I cried watching Bonnie's channel and now I'm gonna cry again. 😢 gonna miss grandma and grandpa Griffiths
Your parents are amazing! I cried watching this video. Wishing your parents an amazing time.
Julie i just have to say, you look so so stunning and your outfits are so lovely ❤
Will this be my last time crying at a goodbye
Video. I will sincerely miss your Mom & Dad
So much. I wish them good health and
Safety. God Bless them & the whole family
🙏🙏💞💞💞💞
So glad to see Beu and his family ❤️❤️❤️❤️
They are such a sweet family. They felt bad they couldn’t make it to the airport with everyone.
This is so sweet. I started to get emotional watching it
I just want to tell you I am so proud of your mama and daddy!! I love them so much you all feel like family to me!! God bless you all!!
I feel like I could just sit down with them and have pie or something with them they are just so sweet! 🙏 For them and for y'all while they are away!!! ❤️☺️
Julie you show them leaving the day they return after their mission. So glad you parents have been able to show us how they are doing.
I loved this so much. Such a beautiful family. Grandma and Grandpa Griffiths I hope you have a wonderful mission. They have such a fantastic family to come home to once you have served. 💕
Absolutely beautiful❤️ Such an emotional video for sure.Such a beautiful family. Wishing you both all the best on your Mission Chad & Jennifer❤️ xo
Sad to see them go love your entire family
Bittersweet tears for sure! They will be wonderful missionaries as well as the people they serve on their mission and your family will be blessed as they are on their mission. 🌸
Brought tears to my eyes,Best of luck on your mission Grandma and Grandpa Griff!
I have to agree with Julie and Bonnie, Landon was pretty sweet there. This is so bittersweet, reminds me of deployment goodbyes when my husband would leave. You're happy and proud but sad and miss them so much all at the same time.
I have watched you, your Parents and your Siblings you tube videos for years. I have loved seeing all the sweet videos about your Parents getting ready for the mission. Though each time it has brought tears to my eyes. You are all part of a beautiful family! May they be blessed on their mission as much as they are a blessing to others!
I'm not crying....okay, I'm crying
Sweet video. I subscribed. Been watching your moms channel for a while.
I think i heard Ellie say to Grandma "Oh you can see her when you get home" in reference to the baby bump. How exciting 😍😍
I have loved watching everyone's goodbye vlogs, it's so bittersweet and i cry everytime.
They were joking, Grandma calles it a she eventhough they don't know yet.
@@lindaraterink6451 fair enough
Make your parents feel at home. Welcome to Serbia !!!
Ti bi u njihovu sektu?
I love this! So sad for u all but their gonna be helping so many people. Wish ruby Kevin and kids could’ve been there
Keeping the cousins apart is awful
TWO YEARS! in heaven
Are you crying??? 😭😭😭 I’m not crying!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️
My prayers are covering you all!
Through my tears, yet again watching y'all say goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa....(trying to catch up on vlogs from our own family vacation) I am pretty sure I heard Ellie say to her Mom you will just have to see her in a couple of years..... please oh I so hope they are having a girl!!! 💜 Great video, loved how it was all together in one!
Ahhh so I take it Ellie and Jared are having a girl from your video of Ellie referring to Grandma seeing ‘her’ (the baby) when she gets home! Amazing so happy for them !!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩💕
Julie, this was a beautiful vlog. I've been crying so much watching all the family vlogs. I feel like they're leaving me too.
Oh my gosh your parents are going to be close to where I grew up. What a beautiful touching vlog this was. I was actually crying. So much can happen in two years and so much growth between all the kids. How did you all keep it together. Good luck to your lovely Mum & Dad!! You have a beautiful family!! 😍
I don’t get through many of your families vlogs without getting teary..this was one of them indeed! ❤️
Another beautiful goodbye video which they all have made me cry!! God bless this whole family in these next 23 months- Love you all bunches!!!
This makes me happy. Teach the kids how to lock their arms while wrestling Gramma. That way when she comes home, they can beat her in fun fashion. God bless them on their journey and during their mission. You girls look and sound like mom.
That made me so emotional. You could feel the joy and sadness all together. It really will go so fast.
Loved the Vlog I love U Grandma and Grandpa Griffith
Awww I loved the son-in-law hug!
I’m not a member anymore but I do know missions are quite the sacrifice. May their choice to go bless them and keep them forever! Grandma and Grandpa Griffiths will love the people of Serbia as I’m sure they will be loved so in return. 💛
May God protect them and use them in a mighty way✝️
Great video. 2 years we’ll fly by so fast.
Prayers and blessings for your family . Prayers for safe travels.
Good luck on your mission guys xx you will both do great think of it as a break away from life's stress and everything that's going on and jumping into spreading the word of jesus christ and making more and more people happy and and more people aware of the kind hearted people that u are and what u all are being part of your church would be the most brilliant thing ever love for jesus christ is amazing xx
Good luck in Serbia 🇷🇸 enjoy your 2 years away
I cried at every video saying goodbye to them as if they were my parents too. Sending all the love and prayers to all of you🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️❤️❤️❤️
This is just such a great sendoff!
Oh yeah, I cried. Y’all’s love is something special.
Aww Julie you will miss your mum and dad so much but it’s worth it ❤️
Ps I love how Jennifer is so competitive with the arm wrestling 😂
Hahaha that is HER thing. She has always been the winner.
Goodmorning Deru Crew family.Awwww it's always emotional saying goodbye.Hope for the best for grandma and grandpa.God bless them both.❤️❤️
Your family made me cry , I felt like I was losing grandma & grandpa griffs through your video
I’m so happy for Ellie and Jared
First time I ever saw my dad cry was when I was 7 and my grandparents left to serve in Mexico ❣️❣️
Thank you for sharing this Julie. It is such a sacrifice to voluteer your time for a mission trip, but I don't think people realize what a sacrifice coupled with heart pangs it is for the family of the missionaries. I hope the time flies by for you, missing your parents, and that your parent's experience is divinely welcomed and life-changing.
It’s such a wonderful thing that your parents are doing, but how they’re doing it is beyond me. I am the grandmother of 14, just thinking about leaving them for even a wonderful thing like this has me just torn up. It’s not even my parents my parents are already gone to heaven. I just feel like you’re my, family all of you, I watch all of your videos I’ve watched them for probably five years or more, I hope that your parents get out of this trip as much as what they’re going to be giving.
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❤
Problem is that Kevin is the neck in the decision. He doesn’t like the Griffiths. He said that in one of the videos. He didn’t say their names but it was implied.
@@stacymartens4855 I actually heard that in that video too. Just heartbreaking. Ruby is her own person tho, she has a choice in how she handles the situation.
@@stacymartens4855 that is really too bad, because he used to say ( not implied) that he met Ruby and fell in love, but what really convinced him to marry her was meeting her beautiful family.
@@stacymartens4855 which video? Can you link it?
Sweet sweet video. I will miss your parents too and I don't even know them!
I imagine there were many tears after the cameras shut off. Good luck to Gma and Gpa Griffiths!
Why the heck did I tear up?! This is so sweet though!
Awe I would be a blubbering mess if I had to say goodbye to my parents for 2 years I can’t imagine it!
Oh my God this video made me cry you are a such a wonderful family. God may protect you parents they are so wonderful people you are the best God bless the Whole family people like you is what we need today. Positive in this world that is what we need people that reflects the love of Jesus Christ
I hope they have an amazing time!
I believe I heard Ellie say she. Here's hoping... Beautiful video I've cried over each one
😲🤔😁🤭 ohhhhh ahora que veo a todos juntos, me doy cuenta de que seguía el canal de los abuelos y el de ustedes por separado sin saber que eran familia!!!! Que bonito 😃❤️
Julie, I am crying for you all. I know they are going to do the Lord’s work but it is so hard to say goodbye. Bless you and your family’s sacrifice with them being gone.
Serbia will be lucky to have your parents serving there. I’ve known a few people from that part of the world, Serbia and Bosnia.
Wait, did Ellie say “you can see what SHE looks like when you get home?” Is Ellie having a girl?? 😃💗
Congratulations to your parents! So sweet and tender! ❤️
That’s what I just said lol
They've joked about it being a girl from the start because they are trying to manifest a girl lol, they don't know the gender yet - Jared said so a few days ago on Instagram.
ماشاء الله عليتس جبتيها صح 🤣🤣
look at all the cute Grandchildren
I love watching your UA-cam channel
Goodbyes are never an easy thing to do,but especially when those Goodbyes are for parents. I lost both of mine a year apart about 18 months ago. It is SO difficult to be in a world without them. My Mama and me were the best of friends.
The sacrifice of time and family togetherness will be so hard but God will bless them for the sacrifices they're making for him....I will keep them close in my prayers...they're going to change many lives for the better.
🙏💛💛🙏
Bless your heart. Thank you so much for being so loving and supportive.
انا مسكت دموعي لين جيت هنا ماقدرت 15:48 الله يخلي كلنّ لأهله ياحلوهم بس ♥️♥️
I love your family.❤️
The arm wrestle was the best
I really wonder who decided to not have the others in their life’s anymore… 8 passengers or the rest of the fam.
Good luck for the mission
They will love the food here! 😀
Jennifer is just the best ☺️
IM CRYING 😭😭🥰🥰🥰
❤ your family and vlogs
I’m just sad. We will miss them!!😔
Awww how does aunt Linda feel about all this? I know she’s gonna miss them both
she was on her mums channel a few weeks back about a reaction
Such a cute video! So emotional 🥹 I think it might be revealing Ellie’s baby’s gender at the end when she’s saying goodbye. Don’t know if that was planned or you might want to take it out. Love your channel♥️
Ellie doesn’t know yet, that was more just assuming or guessing and being silly.
I was thinking the same thing
What about Ruby and Kevin and there kids? I haven't seen them on UA-cam in a while
Isnt Ruby sad that she is missing out on all of this? Does she even know that her parents left? Does she know that Ellie is pregnant? Have she met your beautiful baby? Does she even miss her family and siblings?? 🫣🫣
I think you'd probably have to ask ruby those questions. She isn't talking to them, I doubt they'd know how she feels or what she knows.
I think it’s so sad! When we are so invested in all of your lives, we watched all of your videos including Ruby’s. I think it’s sad that they don’t like to let us know why they stopped doing UA-cam. Looks like a part of our family is missing, I understand you know not telling us everything. But at least tell us that you’re going to be gone for good so that we don’t hurry to our electronic devices to see if they posted again.
@@kathyesquerra2085 They did. Ruby officially announced she will no longer be posting vlogs on the 8Passengers UA-cam channel on her Instagram.
Thank you for responding, I must have missed that video, I’ll go look, shouldn’t be too hard to find.
@@kathyesquerra2085 I don't believe she put out a video, the 8passengers ig channel is now mom's of truth, which is what ruby now practices, her family does not align with these beliefs, neither does 99% of the world...
I'm good on not seeing her, honestly.
Julie you have always been sweet am so glad you got yourself a sweet husband as well London is so soft
❤️!
❤️
I Know Right i hate That Ruby is Not There With Her Family Anymore It Is Sad It Break's My Heart I Feel So Sorry For Her Family.
So sweet! Wait did Ellie just say see what SHE looks like!
Sweet vlog …..
