I am so inspired by your routine. I’m an older lady and have only myself to do all the housework. Even though you are there and I am here I feel like a have a companion to work along side. It hard to explain, but thank you for your posts.
Hi Donna I was going to post along the lines of the one you posted. It was lovely to read that I am not the only person who finds Giselle's vlogs both inspirational and provides me with a virtual cleaning/organising companion. I do have a spouse but she is physically unable to assist with household tasks and other projects so I often wish I had someone to work alongside. I understand what you were trying to convey; I find I receive the energy from Giselle that often comes from working with others.
Donna and Susanne I totally understand! I’m alone all day and i always play her videos for company and inspiration. Some days when I feel like I can’t do it I say to myself “it’s ok we got this”
I feel the same and I leave her playing while getting my chores done..I wish she could come teach me canning, it’s my mission to learn this year, watching all the videos I can
There’s another very sweet lady I watch. Her name is homestead Tessie. She does tons of canning videos and on a small scale. I think she cooks for her and her husband. Might be helpful though. She explains everything very simply
The singing. I remember my youth with your songs. I am of an a cappella fellowship too. I was especially impressed when I heard “I won’t have to cross Jordan alone” one time from your singers. The first church I preached at full time there was a retired preacher there he had written that song. We sang it at his funeral. Memories. I remember his beautiful tenor voice singing solo with the quartet “in the darkness I see someone’s waiting for me; I won’t have to cross Jordan alone”.Thank you. God bless.
I love watching your video's because they are pure and clean content. I love your attitude, your work ethic and your contentment. You have given me an updated understanding of how your people live. I know that some colonies have more restricted views towards using electronics and things like that, but I like that you are able to do what you do to educate me as a viewer. Keep up the good work and content, and I'll keep watching. Love you.
Awww thankyou so much for your sweet comment it means alot that you enjoy watching the vlogs I love showing people how we do things. Ah yes some colonies would not allow a member to film and I'm so thankful that I am able to do that. 😊
I love hearing familiar hymns from a congregation in another country from a different religion praising my wonderful God! He really is a God for “all the little children of the world” 🥰
Dear Giselle, I guess beeing a youtuber isn't only your dreamjob. It is more, or became more, like a vocation. I feel so glad that I discovered your channel, like many others I guess. You are an amazing, interesting and inspiring woman. As I am german, I love it, when I can read or understand some quotes and lyrics. I wish you, your family and the whole community all the best. Please carry on and stay sooo positive. And please give your dog a kiss too. Greetings from Germany. 😄🥰
aww thank you so much for your sweet comment it means a lot to me when I know that people enjoy he vlogs and makes the work worth it. greetings to you from Canada. :)
I’ve just come across your videos, and I must tell you I love them, I can read some of the books you show with German writing, and I love the songs you play, God bless you.
I have been binge watching your videos while quilting. I am a quilter, weaver, spinner and knitter. I really enjoyed the videos. Stay safe and healthy. From southwestern New Brunswick.
We have our funerals online as well, in addition to weddings, although family is permitted as we have a large church for social distancing. I am focused on the “feed the hungry” service, but they are paused. We usually make 1000 sandwiches once a month for the mission downtown - they are all given out in one lunch. I’m also on the “Holy Casseroles” committee, for funerals and needy families in the community. That is also paused for now, although I’ll be getting ready to make some to freeze after spring cleaning is done.
This is interesting I do hope that soon we will be able to attend funerals again. We used to take meals into the food kitchen but, that has also been on hold for awhile. Hopefully soon.
I love the name "Holy Casserole Committee". It reminds me that God can use plain, simple folk like me to His glory with something as ordinary as a casserole. 🤗
You are such a motivation Giselle. But you bring peace to your videos as well. I wish I could bake with you for a week 🤗. Enjoyed having coffee with you my dear. God bless
Thankyou so much for another lovely video, Giselle! I just finished binge watching all your previous ones, and get so motivated to clean and cook all the things! Thankyou for sharing your life with us!
You ladies made my favourite cookie. So with the book your reading, are you married or working towards a courtship. Something missing in society is the ability to properly take care of yourself and home. Growing up as a young boy 50 years ago my mom taught us all how to clean the home and cook. I am so thankful she did. Have a super fantastic week Giselle.
Thank you for sharing you life with us. It gives a view at a lifestyle that is very different that ours in most cases! I've really been enjoying watching and learning about colony life! I have been jumping around and not watching in order so I hope I'm not asking a question that you have already answered in another video. How are disagreements between individuals handled on the colony? Living so closely with so many families, they must come up. Thanks again for sharing!
Just stumbled upon your channel. I have to say that as someone who is not religious some of your daily life seems very different to me, but I also recognize some of the same joys of simple living and dedication to family that we do share. I do admire your faith and dedication to your community. As an outsider it would seem that there is not a lot of room for individuality, but I love that you have your own and embrace it. I'm really inspired by your positivity and very impressed with your photography and artistic abilities which I imagine are self taught and born out of your curiosity about the world and your unique way of seeing the world around you. I hope you never lose that creativity and curiousity...no matter where your journey takes you. Thank you for being such a great ambassador of your community and for sharing your happiness with the wider world.
Beautiful singing. One of my favourites. Thank you for your beautifully uplifting videos. Kona is your ever faithful shadow 💗 your sewing has inspired me, I need to get creative again. I also enjoyed seeing the progress on the new workshops, it’s huge.
I agree with the other commentors, you really dress nice, I love the colours, also the food looks delicious and wholesome, you are making us all want to live like Hutterites haha, living in harmony with your fellow man is really nice to see in this terrible world, I thank your elders for allowing you to share this with us,, being country people my wife and I live off of our land with gardens, fruit bushes, apples etc., God's bounty and from nature when in season berries, fish, deer etc., we raised two pigs and this fall we harvested them, what a blessing preparing your own food
thank you for your sweet message I'm glad you enjoy the videos it makes the work so much more worth it. living off the land is such a beautiful thing that I appreciate more as the years go by. my birthday is in the middle of the biggest garden jobs and when we turn 15 we join the work force the next day i sometimes struggled with longer days even though I did love our work, now I don't mind it and I look at it as having fun.
I just love watching you....💓you are so precious.. God Bless...also dog is so cute..🤗.. l love listening to the singing in the church.... thank you for the vlog.. ....
I had dreams through the long dark night out on the open sea. By faith alone. Sight unknown. And yet His eyes were watching me. The anchor holds. Though the ship is battered. The anchor holds. Though the sails are torn. I have fallen on my knees to face the raging seas. But the anchor holds in spite of the storm. I ve had visions. I ve had dreams. Well I ve even held them in my hands. But I never knew those dreams could slip right through. Like they were only grains of sand. The anchor holds. Though the ship is battered. The anchor holds. Though the sails are torn. I have fallen on my knees. To face the raging seas. But the anchor holds. In spite of the storm. Now I have been young. I am older now. Oh and there has been beauty these eyes have seen. But it was in the night. I faced the storms of my life. Oh that s where God proved His love to me. The anchor holds. Though the ship is battered. The anchor holds. Though the sails are torn. I have fallen on my knees to face the raging seas. But the anchor holds in spite of the storm. I said I have fallen down on my knees as I faced the raging seas. But the anchor holds in spite of the storm.
beautiful music. Would love to hear more about the structure of the colony. How it is organized? How the colony makes decisions? How do families fit into the organization? What are your personal restrictions? Thank you for the video.
Sorry for your losses in that other community. I love the way you support each other during the these bad times and also when God blesses yal with lots of produce you can share. Its a lovely way to live. Ahh your lil scrap books are cute also your blanket! See you next week! God’s peace be with you and yours. Oh P. S. my husband and I were blessed to get our first Covid vaccination this week!
Do you have a recipe for a cream pie? My grandmother was Dunkard Brethren and my 84 year old uncle would like to eat it again. Uncle called it a sugar cream pie but my Dad said it is just called cream pie. They were from the American Midwest.
I just found your channel today. I am so glad I did. I just love watching your life blogs your an amazing young lady. I love your way of life as well. Thank you so much for sharing. I loved your walk with the Dog. We live in a beautiful country. Your boats are totally beautiful, where did you get them???? I am from Ontario so not to far from your area. Lol. Ty again for all you do.
In the early 1980's I had a best friend named MyLe who came from Vietnam in 1980 as a refugee after the end of the Vietnam War. She was crazy about cooking. She loved to cook, but it was all Chinese food. We were the same age. One time she invited me to a young couple's place. She spent the whole afternoon there making wonton soup, fried chicken, fried rice. They had 2 little kids and one on the way. Years later, the guy still remembered it. I was saying that one t ime I was at MyLe's place and how she said to me, "Phone your dad and tell him to take a chicken out of the freezer. I'm going to come over and make chicken fried rice." Then a woman who was listening said, "I'd tell her, 'you can come over anytime you want.' I used to hear her gabbing away in Vietnamese lots of times. One time she was telling me that she wanted to go back to school to learn more English. I jokingly said to her, "Please don't learn any more English. You already talk too much." She was calling me and my dad her "Canadian family" and she was even calling my dad "Dad" . My dad was old. He was 78 in 1980. When she moved to Montreal in 1983, she gave me a big stack of Vietnamese magazines. Duolingo had a Vietnamese for English speakers course now. I tried it but it was so hard on my brain.
@@gisellewaldner9406 We were best friends. My dad introduced her to me. She was living downstairs where I was living. My dad got acquainted with her and her younger brother. I remember that he had ordered a Vietnamese Bible for them from the Canadian Bible Society and that the day he got it in the mail, he went to see them to give it to them. They were Buddhists. He brought MyLe upstairs and introduced her to me and we were friends. She said she was looking for a job so I took her to the nursing home where I was working and introduced her to the matron. A co-worker named Anne came and helped her fill out the application form. Not long after they phoned to hire her. One time I was at her place and she made me some hamburger soup for lunch. Then she kept putting all kinds of pepper in it: black pepper, green pepper, etc. Then I had to keep drinking water to cool my throat. Then she was saying she didn't know why Canadians didn't like hot spices. I forgot to mention that one day when we were living in the rooming house that one evening MyLe's brother came upstairs to talk to my dad. He had been reading the Vietnamese Bible and he wanted to discuss with my dad in private, the difference between Christianity and Buddhism. Oh yeah, when I was about 27, I was working in a Chinese restaurant as dishwasher. A girl my age there was from Laos. For a few days she was making a salad for us for lunch. She called it "My country salad". She meant a salad that they ate in her country. I remember that she had grated cabbage, grated garlic, grated carrots, and maybe other things but I dont' remember and she was putting lots of Tobasco in it. I liked the taste so I ate this for a few days with her for lunch. Then one day at work I had to go to the bathroom every 5 minutes and my stomach was hurting. She told the boss I wasn't feeling well . At first he told me to get a glass of water and then he put a tbsp of baking soda in it and told me to drink it but If was still sick so he told me to go home. The boss there was Chinese. I raced home on my bicycle and went straight to the bathroom and was on the toilet all that afternoon. When I went back to work, I told her I thought I got sick from her salad but she was offended and said it couldn't have been her salad. Nobody else was sick. Maybe it was all the Tobasco.
Giselle, I love how your choir sounds. I'm big into acapella-prefer it actually. Has your colony ever thought of putting out a CD or two? I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
First let me say thank you for your videos. I also live in MB, I am of Mennonite descent and so some of the food is similar. I have NEVER seen syrup on cottage cheese perogies. Soon the canning will be done, and the snow will come and I will get busy making cottage cheese perogies!
Made the vegan carrot cake and it was delicious - much better than expected. thankyou for the recipe! Now I just need to find your brownie recipe.....looks interesting with the cream cheese filling in it ;-)
Love to Kona. I like watching your videos because when I was young like you I wore long skirts and I too had a German shepherd dog that I loved very much, he was white. What do all the older people do? What are all their chores? I never see any of them.
It would be nice if u could visit us someday 😊 Even if cold im the winter i must admit my little country is beautyful and of course driving around Iceland in the summer is awesome, so much to see and do thats not an everyday thing. Hope u can come one day ❤ Luv from Iceland 🇮🇸✌🥰
I don't ask you to remember what it was you were making because you cook and bake so much wonderful looking dishes keep up the wonderful job young lady
Long time ago I drove around the whole Iceland, slept and ate in my car. Wonderful country, geysirs, hot water lakes but no trees/forests yet. Delicious sea food. It was a nice one month trip incl. the Ferry which stopped on Faroe Islands on the way from Norway. I wish you can visit there as well. Ummm, can I get a bit from those sweet left overs you baked for the funeral? My bad, I know it's too late :( ...
It's been years since I last used German but to me those songs look identical to German. I actually have a German Mennonite background from my very early childhood
there are certain things that the women can choose being a teacher for one but, cooking is something you have to do there might never be many that choose to cook and since we need so much food and it can be a lot of work everyone gets a turn.
Hi I am a Mennonite. I grow up in a Mennonite Church. We get up at 4am to start our morning work before we can a big breakfast and then all the women after breakfast start in the house work before we cook lunch then we start in baking before we start in cooking a big dinner for the whole family. We don't cook for the people in the church. We all cook in our only home for our family.
Oh wow 4 is early how do you do it...we really only get up at 6 when we have garden work and want to avoid the heat but, 6 am compared to 4 am sounds like nothing.
welcome, welcome I want to keep my exact location private for now but, what I can tell you is that I'm from the southeast part of Manitoba a little ways away from Winnipeg.
Your poor right hand especially looks so red and dry! Perhaps try applying Neosporin antibiotic ointment to the backs of your hands and knuckles and sleep all night like that. It helps mine when my hands are chapped and split from dry winter air and too much water. Love your vlogs!
Can anyone answer this question? Giselle has said that the Colony provides everything they need, does that include the food, coffee, etc. that they eat at home? If so, are they allowed to go to the Colony kitchen and help themselves to pantry items?
How interesting too watch , beautiful harmony in the singing German & English....I reacently watched a free movie on RUclips called "Silent Light" in German ,with English subtitle. I hope you follow your colony Life & save yourself from being drawn out too what's in the World ..The World wants what you have..Do you have Hutterite colony people in Iceland ?

I am so inspired by your routine. I’m an older lady and have only myself to do all the housework. Even though you are there and I am here I feel like a have a companion to work along side. It hard to explain, but thank you for your posts.
aww i'm happy to help you and be your virtual companion.
Hi Donna I was going to post along the lines of the one you posted. It was lovely to read that I am not the only person who finds Giselle's vlogs both inspirational and provides me with a virtual cleaning/organising companion. I do have a spouse but she is physically unable to assist with household tasks and other projects so I often wish I had someone to work alongside. I understand what you were trying to convey; I find I receive the energy from Giselle that often comes from working with others.
Donna and Susanne I totally understand! I’m alone all day and i always play her videos for company and inspiration. Some days when I feel like I can’t do it I say to myself “it’s ok we got this”
I feel the same and I leave her playing while getting my chores done..I wish she could come teach me canning, it’s my mission to learn this year, watching all the videos I can
There’s another very sweet lady I watch. Her name is homestead Tessie. She does tons of canning videos and on a small scale. I think she cooks for her and her husband. Might be helpful though. She explains everything very simply
Your videos can help so many people, thank you Giselle for showing us the Hutterites God giving way of life.🙏🙏😊😊
Aww this is sweet thank you I do love making them 😊
I love that Kona keeps looking back to make sure you're still with her. You two have quite the strong bond.
“In the Sweet By and By” another of my favorites . Beautifully done.
Thank you so much!
Giselle, thank you for sharing your life with all of us. You work so hard everyday and with such a joyful heart!
I agree, whenever I watch any of her videos I have to get up and clean something!
I enjoy watching your daily life and especially when you pour a cup of coffee and relax. You have such a sweet spirit and it enlightens my day!
The singing. I remember my youth with your songs. I am of an a cappella fellowship too. I was especially impressed when I heard “I won’t have to cross Jordan alone” one time from your singers. The first church I preached at full time there was a retired preacher there he had written that song. We sang it at his funeral. Memories. I remember his beautiful tenor voice singing solo with the quartet “in the darkness I see someone’s waiting for me; I won’t have to cross Jordan alone”.Thank you. God bless.
Love having coffee with you, Giselle. Bless you for doing your devotions, too. Love learning about you and the colony. Good people!!!
thank you im happy to have coffee with you :)

I’ve just come across your videos, and I must tell you I love them, I can read some of the books you show with German writing, and I love the songs you play, God bless you.
aww that's sweet and welcome to the channel. I'm happy that you love the videos.
I have been binge watching your videos while quilting. I am a quilter, weaver, spinner and knitter. I really enjoyed the videos. Stay safe and healthy. From southwestern New Brunswick.
thank you I'm glad you enjoy the videos. you stay safe and healthy too.
I’m beginning to think the RUclips algorithm knows exactly when I have time to watch your vlogs Giselle. 🤔
😁😁
I guess you got shirt done sewing last week. Sorry wasn't thinking nice shirt
On the back of your pfaff is a walking foot, the black thing in the back. Your sewing will go so much better if you put it down. Try it!
Thanks for the suggestion 😊
The songs are absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing, I watch and do my chores along with you all.
👍🙃🙏🏻thank Giselle 🎄
I am sorry for your loss. The music is beautiful!! What a lovely way to pay tribute to the person.
Oh to be young again and healthy .
Keep on keeping on. You've become my virtual granddaughter ❤🥰
awww thats sweet :)
You are an amazing woman if the world had more woman like you it would definitely be a better place....God bless you
awww I'm flattered thank you so much God bless you too :)
Yes she is an amazing lady and so natural and pure . Really beautiful in all ways ❤

Reading scripture and a devotional, the best way to start a day! And ☕️ of course😆
Oh yes 😊
You are such a motivation Giselle. But you bring peace to your videos as well. I wish I could bake with you for a week 🤗. Enjoyed having coffee with you my dear. God bless
Aww thankyou for the lovely comment i hope you have a good weekend. 😊.....ohhhh baking together that would be fun.
Thankyou so much for another lovely video, Giselle! I just finished binge watching all your previous ones, and get so motivated to clean and cook all the things! Thankyou for sharing your life with us!
I'm glad that you enjoy them 😊
You are a very busy young lady 😊🤪
You ladies made my favourite cookie. So with the book your reading, are you married or working towards a courtship. Something missing in society is the ability to properly take care of yourself and home. Growing up as a young boy 50 years ago my mom taught us all how to clean the home and cook. I am so thankful she did. Have a super fantastic week Giselle.
no im not married and also not working towards a courtship just taking my time and enjoying life.
Thank you for your videos. They bring me joy.

beautiful music. Would love to hear more about the structure of the colony. How it is organized? How the colony makes decisions? How do families fit into the organization? What are your personal restrictions? Thank you for the video.
thank you for your questions it gives in an idea as to what I can add to the videos. you are welcome.
Thanks for your videos. They are cheering me up as I am having to rest to get better which I don’t like. I love the funeral hymn.

@@gisellewaldner9406 Thank you, much love to you too.

Its a lovely way to live. Ahh your lil scrap books are cute also your blanket! See you next week! God’s peace be with you and yours. Oh P.

I loved Ranger’s Apprentice series!
Another fantastic Vlog! Busy week... and love seeing Kona 😍❤ Have a great seven days Giselle!
Thankyou you too 😊
AMAZING singing!🙏😇👆
Hi Giselle, we're enjoying your vlogs. We use 'Das Grosze Gesangbuch' in our church (Old Colony Mennonite) as well!
I find this cool i had heard before that those books are also used by Mennonites. 😊
Do you have a recipe for a cream pie? My grandmother was Dunkard Brethren and my 84 year old uncle would like to eat it again. Uncle called it a sugar cream pie but my Dad said it is just called cream pie. They were from the American Midwest.
I love your devotion to coffee ❤️☕️☕️

Wow, you have such a fantastic commercial kitchen set up! I would have so much fun in there 😁
Thanks so much! 😊 it makes cooking much more exciting
In the early 1980's I had a best friend named MyLe who came from Vietnam in 1980 as a refugee after the end of the Vietnam War. She was crazy about cooking. She loved to cook, but it was all Chinese food. We were the same age. One time she invited me to a young couple's place. She spent the whole afternoon there making wonton soup, fried chicken, fried rice. They had 2 little kids and one on the way. Years later, the guy still remembered it. I was saying that one t ime I was at MyLe's place and how she said to me, "Phone your dad and tell him to take a chicken out of the freezer. I'm going to come over and make chicken fried rice." Then a woman who was listening said, "I'd tell her, 'you can come over anytime you want.'
I used to hear her gabbing away in Vietnamese lots of times. One time she was telling me that she wanted to go back to school to learn more English. I jokingly said to her, "Please don't learn any more English. You already talk too much."
She was calling me and my dad her "Canadian family" and she was even calling my dad "Dad" .
My dad was old. He was 78 in 1980.
When she moved to Montreal in 1983, she gave me a big stack of Vietnamese magazines. Duolingo had a Vietnamese for English speakers course now. I tried it but it was so hard on my brain.
@@MultiCameragirl she sounds like an beautiful soul and a wonderful person that you got to call your friend 😊
@@gisellewaldner9406 We were best friends. My dad introduced her to me. She was living downstairs where I was living. My dad got acquainted with her and her younger brother. I remember that he had ordered a Vietnamese Bible for them from the Canadian Bible Society and that the day he got it in the mail, he went to see them to give it to them. They were Buddhists. He brought MyLe upstairs and introduced her to me and we were friends. She said she was looking for a job so I took her to the nursing home where I was working and introduced her to the matron. A co-worker named Anne came and helped her fill out the application form. Not long after they phoned to hire her. One time I was at her place and she made me some hamburger soup for lunch. Then she kept putting all kinds of pepper in it: black pepper, green pepper, etc. Then I had to keep drinking water to cool my throat. Then she was saying she didn't know why Canadians didn't like hot spices.
I forgot to mention that one day when we were living in the rooming house that one evening MyLe's brother came upstairs to talk to my dad. He had been reading the Vietnamese Bible and he wanted to discuss with my dad in private, the difference between Christianity and Buddhism.
Oh yeah, when I was about 27, I was working in a Chinese restaurant as dishwasher. A girl my age there was from Laos. For a few days she was making a salad for us for lunch. She called it "My country salad". She meant a salad that they ate in her country. I remember that she had grated cabbage, grated garlic, grated carrots, and maybe other things but I dont' remember and she was putting lots of Tobasco in it. I liked the taste so I ate this for a few days with her for lunch. Then one day at work I had to go to the bathroom every 5 minutes and my stomach was hurting. She told the boss I wasn't feeling well . At first he told me to get a glass of water and then he put a tbsp of baking soda in it and told me to drink it but If was still sick so he told me to go home. The boss there was Chinese.
I raced home on my bicycle and went straight to the bathroom and was on the toilet all that afternoon. When I went back to work, I told her I thought I got sick from her salad but she was offended and said it couldn't have been her salad. Nobody else was sick. Maybe it was all the Tobasco.
Giselle, I love how your choir sounds. I'm big into acapella-prefer it actually. Has your colony ever thought of putting out a CD or two? I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
I'm glad you like it we actually did many years ago I was so little but, I think its time to do it again.
I would as well! My children have never heard the old hymns in four part harmony and that saddens me.
@@gisellewaldner9406 great idea! I’d buy it too.
First let me say thank you for your videos. I also live in MB, I am of Mennonite descent and so some of the food is similar. I have NEVER seen syrup on cottage cheese perogies. Soon the canning will be done, and the snow will come and I will get busy making cottage cheese perogies!
Looove your boots!! Where could I find them!?
Made the vegan carrot cake and it was delicious - much better than expected. thankyou for the recipe! Now I just need to find your brownie recipe.....looks interesting with the cream cheese filling in it ;-)
Love to Kona. I like watching your videos because when I was young like you I wore long skirts and I too had a German shepherd dog that I loved very much, he was white. What do all the older people do? What are all their chores? I never see any of them.
Would you be so kind as to share your GF Perogi Dough recipe? I have celiac and would love to be able to try Perogi.
the quiches look delicious!
Kona loves Giselle and sees her as her owner and carer
Iceland is on my list of places to see!!!
same
It would be nice if u could visit us someday 😊
Even if cold im the winter i must admit my little country is beautyful and of course driving around Iceland in the summer is awesome, so much to see and do thats not an everyday thing.
Hope u can come one day ❤
Luv from Iceland 🇮🇸✌🥰
I would love to, I don't mind cold hopefully someday I'll be able to 😊
I don't ask you to remember what it was you were making because you cook and bake so much wonderful looking dishes keep up the wonderful job young lady
Thank you so much
@@gisellewaldner9406 yw young lady
Another great vlog. Thanks for sharing.
Love your mukluks
Long time ago I drove around the whole Iceland, slept and ate in my car. Wonderful country, geysirs, hot water lakes but no trees/forests yet. Delicious sea food. It was a nice one month trip incl. the Ferry which stopped on Faroe Islands on the way from Norway. I wish you can visit there as well.
Ummm, can I get a bit from those sweet left overs you baked for the funeral? My bad, I know it's too late :( ...
Oh my I've always wanted to visit Iceland (top of my list) it's such a beautiful place. 😍
@@gisellewaldner9406 They got new volcano eruption near Reykjavik just coincidentally like a week ago. On YT they have timelapse videos already.
@@vedcon I'll check it out
It's been years since I last used German but to me those songs look identical to German. I actually have a German Mennonite background from my very early childhood
oh wow thats interesting the songs we sing are either German or English.
The Mennonite churches in my area use the gesang buchen too and they’re in high german.
Love your life style , if the men can choose their job in what they're good at , can the women also choose ?
there are certain things that the women can choose being a teacher for one but, cooking is something you have to do there might never be many that choose to cook and since we need so much food and it can be a lot of work everyone gets a turn.
This Karen I find your blogs very interesting and I enjoy them
thank you I'm glad that you enjoy them.
Hi I am a Mennonite. I grow up in a Mennonite Church. We get up at 4am to start our morning work before we can a big breakfast and then all the women after breakfast start in the house work before we cook lunch then we start in baking before we start in cooking a big dinner for the whole family. We don't cook for the people in the church. We all cook in our only home for our family.
Oh wow 4 is early how do you do it...we really only get up at 6 when we have garden work and want to avoid the heat but, 6 am compared to 4 am sounds like nothing.
My family enjoys your videos. You are awesome.
Thankyou I glad that they enjoy them 😊
It is nice how you help each other god bless you,
❤❤❤❤❤
You ladies work very hard
I was curious to know how the recipes for the colony are decided upon.
Wow your place is amazing i love to visit there someday
Its is beautiful i think you'd like it the views are spectacular.
@@gisellewaldner9406 yes i really like it i wish i can come in there someday
I’m a new subscriber.... I’m on a quest now to watch all your vlogs.. still need to know where your from..as I have Hutterite friends around my area.
welcome, welcome I want to keep my exact location private for now but, what I can tell you is that I'm from the southeast part of Manitoba a little ways away from Winnipeg.
Thank you for sharing your life. I enjoy your videos.
😊😊
Your poor right hand especially looks so red and dry! Perhaps try applying Neosporin antibiotic ointment to the backs of your hands and knuckles and sleep all night like that. It helps mine when my hands are chapped and split from dry winter air and too much water.
Love your vlogs!
Thankyou for the suggestion i will try it. It got better for awhile but, lately its back again.
Whatever cream you use @Giselle Waldner, apply at night and put on cotton gloves while sleeping.
Do u make your own laundry soap? Love your videos! I feed my German Shepards Tuffys also
i LOVE the cottage cheese Perogies
Can anyone answer this question? Giselle has said that the Colony provides everything they need, does that include the food, coffee, etc. that they eat at home? If so, are they allowed to go to the Colony kitchen and help themselves to pantry items?
You are lovely!
Oh thank you!
How interesting too watch , beautiful harmony in the singing German & English....I reacently watched a free movie on RUclips called "Silent Light" in German ,with English subtitle.
I hope you follow your colony Life & save yourself from being drawn out too what's in the World ..The World wants what you have..Do you have Hutterite colony people in Iceland ?
aww thank you. hmm I don't think there is a colony in Iceland they are mostly in Canada and the US.
Your walks got nice views.
Yes they do 😊
