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!
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.
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...
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
Awe I’m from Philly so I know exactly where you’re speaking of..their community is beautiful. Definitely a sense of calm from the chaos with the outlets nearby
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.
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.
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
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!
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!
What glimpse? All I saw was two airports Anna Waffle House. We didn't even see the funeral service just them going to the grave site. Not to be rude but this wasn't a glimpse into anything
@@jenniferlynn8503 it is my hope that over the last three years you have acquired some insight into the strict rules of these people. The fact that we get to see THIS MUCH and THESE MANY glimpses astounds and amazes me. Cameras/video/photography are so very much not allowed I am shocked at the amount of footage we have the ability to experience!
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.
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.🙏
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.
Thank you for sharing. Growing up near the Amish, I love to hear about the traditions. You have such an incredible heart and are an honor to them♥️♥️♥️
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🙂
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 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).
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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!
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!
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 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!
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 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.
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.
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❤️🙏🏻
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.
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
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!
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! 🥰
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
Thankyou for letting us meet your family and for showing a little of your heritage,you are a very special lady and showed great respect for your family, prayers for your family hold onto faith
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 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.
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.
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 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 💖
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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💕
I grew up in The Region of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. There remains today a large Amish and Mennonite community who have roots dating back to 1823. These scenes remind me of my youth in rural Ontario. Thanks for sharing these precious times Priscilla. God bless.
I am so very sorry for your mother and your families great loss! Thank you for sharing your heart! Doing the right thing always brings peace to any situation! Praying for your relatives and all of your grieving hearts!
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.
I have just joined your channel and found it very interesting and thank you for showing the travel to your aunt’s funeral as it’s a hard time and sad to I’m so sorry for you and your family’s loss
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.
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.
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.
It's a shame we all can't find unity and share our FEELINGS ,Honestly.
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...
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.
So glad you all went to honor her. Thank you for sharing such a personal story. ♥️

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. ☺

Thank you so much Jeannine!
Well said! Thank you.
I love that you showed them so much respect.
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!
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.

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

With Old Order strict Amish you are not allowed to photograph them etc even If it’s your family. They have a lot of rules that must be followed.

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.
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.
Thank you for sharing. Growing up near the Amish, I love to hear about the traditions. You have such an incredible heart and are an honor to them♥️♥️♥️
That was beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I like the mountain music playing as well!
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.
Thank you for sharing this special time with us. Loved the music added and scenery.

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

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!
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! 🥰
Thank you Taylor family!
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
Thankyou for letting us meet your family and for showing a little of your heritage,you are a very special lady and showed great respect for your family, prayers for your family hold onto faith

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.
Welcome welcome!
Priscilla. You are such a very dear sister in Christ. The Lord bless you and keep you.
Thank you Sharon!
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.
Thank you Pricilla for sharing this time with us. You are a kind woman. Prayers for you and your family.
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 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 💖
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.
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.
Thank you so much!
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.
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.
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.
Thank you for your kindness!
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.
Bless you for a respectful sharing of your family’s loss. Stay safe. Best wishes & prayers from South Australia 🙏🏻🇦🇺💐
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.
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💕
I grew up in The Region of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. There remains today a large Amish and Mennonite community who have roots dating back to 1823. These scenes remind me of my youth in rural Ontario. Thanks for sharing these precious times Priscilla. God bless.
I am so very sorry for your mother and your families great loss! Thank you for sharing your heart! Doing the right thing always brings peace to any situation! Praying for your relatives and all of your grieving hearts!
Thank you for sharing. I know that they don’t like to be photographed, so I so appreciate what you were able to show and share.
Enjoyed very much your video. The shots of the two baby boys in the buggy was exceptional
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.
I am sorry for your loss. Glad you were able to spend time with family. You and your siblings all have contagious smiles.
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
Amen! I can feel the love for your people in your voice. So precious. I hope your mother had a peaceful time. God bless her and all of you! 🙏❤🌹
I have just joined your channel and found it very interesting and thank you for showing the travel to your aunt’s funeral as it’s a hard time and sad to I’m so sorry for you and your family’s loss
My condolences to you and your family. I love family gatherings. Sad you did not get more photos of your sharing. God bless and thank you for sharing.
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.
Thank you for your kind comment Jennifer!
