Andrew is an old soul with a young heart and a beautiful smile. He will impact many lives. I cried through the whole video!! Praying for you all.
I agree! I cried to bse feel the love and felt the pain of missing a son…
I’m hiccuping with tears.. So much love for this beautiful family x
💯%❣️
Good luck for Andrew 🙏🏻
Me too….
I started crying when he said goodbye to Pearl, remembering how he was the one that wanted a sister. I keep crying until the end. Happy for Andrew and will definitely read his newsletter.
That goodbye between Andrew and Pearl was so touching. His desire to have a little sister led to Pearl the Girl, and all the rest.
Andrew leaving hit me hard. He’s always such a bright light. Always so cheerful and funny but so thoughtful and intelligent. I can’t imagine not seeing him for 2 years. I’m sure he will have a wonderful time and experience. Wish him well.
Same.Same.Same. I feel heart sick!😢
Right
Totally agree
Andrew will be missed so much by all of us! He’s a wonderful soul. I first started crying when Peter hugged him and said he was going to miss him, then when we got to Pearl, there was no holding it in, my husband looked over and said “what’s wrong, what happened?” Trying to explain Andrew leaving on his mission…I wish you could have seen the look on his face.
Andrew’s special connection to all your family shines through and we know what a difficult transition it will feel in your home. At least you have things to keep busy and minds occupied. Sending love❤
What you commented is so beautiful ❤
Elder knorpp is an amazing character as a missionary he and the other missionary definitely did changed my life:) bless🙌🇿🇦
Time really does fly by! I can’t believe it’s already Andrews turn to leave the Knorpp nest! ❤
Andrew is like the Raymond of the family. Everybody loves him such a great kid. I pray for all the best for him.
Welcome to South Africa Andrew. I am in Durban I wish I will see you one day.
Andrew is quite capable thanks to Mom and Dad!! I cried through this entire video! As a Mom, I know how you feel! He will make a huge impact no matter where he is.
This was a hard one. I felt Pearls sadness. What a beautiful soul Andrew is, wish him well.
So hard for a mom and dad to let go. They will always be our babies.
After my daughter served her mission in Paraguay she traveled home without a phone. She had 3 connections and the mission gave us the wrong info. We waited at the airport to welcome her home and she never came. For hours we didn’t know where our daughter was. It was terrifying. Every child we send on a foreign mission from now on will be sent a pay as you go phone and we will have connections with them on their flights.
Oh boy… tear jerker! Pearl started me and mom finished me off.
Just when we start “liking” our kids as adults, they leave us! ❤️ hugs to you all!
‘Lots of reasons Andrew is my favorite. ha 😄
Peace and comfort to you all….. ❤️
Awww😢😢😢😢. I cried with y’all 😢😢😢. Such a handsome youngman❤
I cried right along with you😩. We will all miss Andrew!!
Andrew has been a good big brother to his younger siblings. I know they will miss him.
the most extroverted knorpp there ever was! have fun andrew!
Andrew is everyone of his siblings best friend. Wishing Andrew a safe two years in Africa!
Greetings from South Africa - we welcome him with open arms
My first baby is still growing in my womb... and I'm already crying about how fast time really does go by. Congratulations Andrew on this beautiful journey of serving the Lord. I know he has amazing plans for you and your adventure in South Africa.
Welcome to South Africa Andrew! 🇿🇦
And now I’m crying……happy tears. Way to go Andrew.
38 days until my missionary comes home, got flight plans today. Best and hardest thing to do as a mom but so rewarding to see their growth!
My momma heart hurts for you. I am going to ball my eyes out when my son leaves for his mission in 2 years. 😢 I'm so excited for him!!!! And for your family!
Awww guys! We will take good care of him over here promise!! South Africans are super friendly and he is going to eat the best food! X
What a beautiful soul Andrew is, I always thought he was a gift to everyone around him. God Bless him on his journey ❤️
My brother is a zone leader in Petorea mission. For us it has been SOooo helpful that we get to FaceTime every week!
You've done such a good job with Andrew he'll be great
Awe, praying for all of you and for Andrew.
Oh Megan, I feel for you darling, two years without such a lovely person in your life must be so tough. Thank goodness you are so busy!
Hi from South Africa! Many times I think there is a misconception that we live in the wild and without civilisation. But as one of the most advanced countries in Africa, it truly is a beautiful country. Yes we have some misgivings, but overall we are a bunch of friendly people with normal civilized lives and a pinch of some of the best cultural diversity.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo! What are we going to do without him?? 😭 I just can't stop crying! (((hugs))) Megan, from one Mom to another!
My sister, her husband and their 3 young children leave for a seminary internship in South Africa tomorrow for 2 years. So boy, am I feeling this whole goodbye/airport scene. I have to live it tomorrow ❤
My heart is right with you, Megan! Ugh!! I am crying remembering when our son who is the “60% of the conversation”💕left on his mission. It is so gut wrenching! I hope you feel comforted and just know how amazing I think you all are. Thank you for sharing this very tender time with us and Godspeed, Andrew!! He looks great out there in the field.
I love you all, so much! 💜💜💜
OMG with that hair cut Andrew is looking more like Elijah! Andrew you are going to be a blessing where ever you serve!
I cried when Pearl did ❤️❤️❤️❤️
😢😭 lloré todo el video.
God bless the Knorpps !!
Good luck, Andrew. Safe travels, and God bless. Aloha
Welcome to South Africa sweet child. I cried so hard with you guys.
I don't live near Durban, where Andrew is, I'm near Cape Town. I hope Andrew enjoy his stay in South Africa and that he will experience the richness and diversity of the people of our country.
God got Andrew, and will guide his every step in addition to using him (Andrew) for his good and for God's Glory. Andrew will never, ever be alone, when he has Our Heavenly Father right by his side. He's blessed and covered, under The Blood of Jesus Christ.
Andrew is definitely going to a a blessing for anyone he meets . God will provide and protect him ❤
Oh my mama heart!! I felt your sadness and how proud you are of Andrew!! Thinking of y'all!!
I cried right along with you!!!
I was crying right along with Megan! Next month my husband and I are going to England (from SC) ti see our daughter and her family . I think this made me feel how I will feel when we have to head back home .
Never fails…. I cry 😢 every time your babies go off on their missions. 😢 because I know how I would feel if my baby went away on a mission trip for period of time. Love your family and videos
Oh my word😢.I'm crying!! Oh dear Megan,I feel for you! I've sent my 8 off into the world and it stinks! Awww great idea to txt parents! The missionaries I met on the plane from Tampa,were on their way home to Utah.Pearl got my tears flowing and they just keep going!Oh man,I know the lord is going with me!😢 what a great kid!! Hugs everyone rom Missouri 😊❤
Wow, your 4th child to serve. How proud of your children you should be. May God Bless your entire family in all of their endeavors.
I just saw him yesterday at the MTC, he'll be fine here in south africa
Oh my gosh!! I’m crying like a baby! He will be fine Mom❤ sending love and prayers 🙏🏻🥰❤️😊
From now on ANY missionary I see I am going to do exactly what you suggested !!
Oh, Megan, I feel you, mama!! 😭🙏🙏🙏
My heart really broke for you Megan, even had tears falling down my cheeks too. I pray that the years go by quick , until you see him again . Every day we have to die to flesh and pick up our cross, some days the cross is heavier 💖💖
There are many wonderful people in South Africa and many wonderful experiences are awaiting him. Welcome to Africa, Andrew, and stay safe. From a former South African, now living in Namibia, aka as Africa 101! PS - he will be able to buy most things in SA.
Mom and Dad, you must be sooooooo proud of Andrew. He's in God's hands now. You have raised good children!
Well I didn't make it very far into this video without crying!!! Andrew is a HUGE part of this family! He's amazing and will be so missed! I love his joy.
He’s gonna do great things!
MEGAN AND MIKE YOUR SUCH GREAT PARENTS YOU HAVE RAISED SUCH WONDERFUL CHILDREN WHO LOVE THE LORD AND CARE FOR OTHERS BE VERY PROUD OF YOURSELFS🥰 GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY 🥰
From the heart and home of one of your South African followers, my heart goes out to you and Im not of the same faith as you but if I see a missionary at an airport I will from now on ask them if I can send a photo or message home to their parent. Mommas should look out for other mommas kids. Your family is beautiful.
I haven't been on your channel for some time now. Due to depression. I'm from South Africa and I hope Andrew enjoys his time here. I'm sure u will miss him. Wish I could meet him. Would be so greatb❤
Aw, favourite Knorpp x
I’ve been watching since Andrew was 12 this is such a crazy thing to watch!
I’ll really miss Andrew my total fave and so interesting. Loved the England trip. Feel your pain
Im not crying. You are😢😢😢😢😢
I have joined on Andrews news letter.
OMG, I’m crying!!! 😢😢2 years, I hope it goes by fast!!! I’m definitely going to miss Andrew! Aren’t you lucky that you can video chat with him! Years ago you wouldn’t have been able to do that! I know he we will do well, Andrew is an extraordinary human being for sure. 😢😢
Aw, Andrew… I cried my eyes out during this whole video. You have done such an incredible job raising your children to become amazing, creative, gentle, loving, wise individuals. Well done❤
Andrew is a beautiful soul and he will do so much for the Lord, will be praying for him.❤
My home country, im sure he is going to enjoy his experience here. We have many problems but the people are so friendly ! Welcome Andrew 🇿🇦
Andrew looks so much more like Elijah with his haircut. Hope he grows and does great work while in Africa.
I’m sitting here watching this and I’m crying just as much as you Megan 😢😢it’s so hard when your kids leave home. Andrew is on the next journey of his life!.. He will do amazing things! Hang in there Megan, time will fly by and Andrew will be back home before you know it!
South Africa is so lucky to have him for 2 years. South Africa is an amazing country. He is going to have such great experiences. You must be so proud.
Andrew is going to be such an awesome missionary! He has such a tender and caring heart! Sending love and prayers to you all ❤
I just cried!! I know your feeling Megan
You're making me cry. I know Andrew be fine because he's a world traveler and makes friends easily. He is on the adventure of a lifetime. Love and prayers to your whole family.
Hi to everyone. That was so sad to watch when ye were saying good bye to Andrew. I wish him the best of luck and that hes happy.take care ❤❤❤
Such a different season in the house with all the kids grown up! I miss them being younger traveling through Europe. So excited to see where they end up!
Oh my......I've followed y'all for a very long time! Now I'm crying!!! I can't help it! 😢
I feel like I do know your family. He will be in my special prayers.
Y’all got me crying
God speed Andrew. You will do great and be well cared for. You draw love to you like a magnet. Love to all the family. It will get better as time flies by. Xx💖💙
Loved this! It made me cry. So hard to send our kids out into the world! It also made me a bit sad because my 2 oldest boys 21 and 19 chose to not go on missions. The 21yo is married already so that won’t happen. I’m still holding out for my 19yo to go. We will see.
As a fellow homeschool mom, I completely understand your sentiment of, " Hey I like you, though. You should stay." I love being with my kids! It never gets easier as they leave the nest. I was crying with you.
Andrew isn’t even my son and I cried. I could feel Megan’s pain through this video. Thank you for sharing and being real and venerable.
I’m betting that 30 minutes into Andrews flight he was deep in conversation with his seat mate. He’s such a sociable young man. So grateful you’re able to connect with FaceTime.
This was a tear jerker 😢
OMgoodness I bawled my eyes out watching you guys take Andrew to the airport. Watching you guys for so long now I feel as if I truly know you. You are such a beautiful family, I do love all of you!
At the haircut scene, I was shouting, "who is that handsome young man!". And then, through the rest of the video, I was blubbering like a baby right along with the rest of your family. The thing is, we all cry at that point of separation. Once he got on the plane and got all settled, he more than likely began to relax and felt a lot less sad. Thoughts of the journey ahead and wonderful memories of home lulled him to sleep. Look at this young man that you've raised - precious, strong, inventive, kind, loving-and his listening and engaging skills- can you imagine what that will bring to the ministry? Can you imagine what that will bring to some soul in need? Praise God! Hallelujah! And then he will land- an adrenaline surge will kick in. And off he will go to find his connections- a sequence that will repeat itself for the rest of his life. The love that this family shares- well what a blessing!
Best of Blessings to you, Elder Andrew!!! Best of Blessings.
Much Love Knorpp family❤🎉
Bless his heart. 2 years is a very long time. Sending love and prayers for Andrew
I was surprised I made it past Peter and Pearl saying goodbye to Andrew without crying. That sure didn't last long because the tears came when Megan and Jude both broke down. I know your hearts are sad, but I know you feel so much pride in what your family is accomplishing. I just added my email for Andrew's newsletter. I can't wait to hear updates from him. Good job Mom and Dad on how you are raising your kids and sharing them with the world!!
When you started to tear up on the shuttle so did I. So hard to watch the birds leave the nest. You did a great job with your children and they will take all the love you have poured into them and spread their wings and fly! Hugs to mom and dad.
Andrew will be greatly missed - by you (his family), his community, here on the channel. He is such a bright light and as you described, he is genuinely caring and compassionate. I can’t wait to see the amazing things he will do!
OMG! I so cried when Andrew left to get on the plane! I'm going to miss him too! He's such a wonderful young man!!
Our son went directly from us to Argentina, so I never got to do the MTC drop off, it really does tear the heartstrings.
I understand you’re pain Mama and the siblings, so sad. But, this is how us military moms feel, the same way especially for me my son is military serving our country in the USCG 3,000+ miles away for our country and all
our military families saying goodbye. We have so much in common, different paths but serving people. Bless y’all ❤
Happy for Andrew but I cried with you Megan, our momma’s heart has a hard time letting go. Praying for you all💛
We’ll I’m…….not crying!
