Hello!!! I always watch your channel. I do not know if you will read this or respond but i am watching all the way from Jamaica in the Caribbean. I love your channel because it is calming and peaceful and shows us the love of God in action. I wish everyone everywhere would slow down just to live the way that truly matters. God bless you and your family and the community. I was wondering do you guys do evangelism and missions? Like how do you reach out to those who are lost as a community? I am just honestly curious that is why I am asking. I hope you will respond.
Blessings to you.

[@gisellewaldner9406]

Hi oh wow Jamaica that is amazing and i'm happy that you enjoy the videos i so love to create them 😊
i guess you could say that with my videos is one way of doing that but, i guess that is still new. missions? do you mean like missionary work?

[@YonUndone3064]

@@gisellewaldner9406 You replied! 😃 Well yes I mean like missionary work either in your country or elsewhere. And yes your videos are doing evangelism for sure. Does your church family eve go out and share your beliefs? It might be different there because maybe laws are restricting. I really love missions and evangelism so I always want to learn what others do to see if I can apply it also in my context.

[@dianawright2030]

I love the manger scene your brother made. How much would one cost if he wanted to sell them?

[@ozarkview928]

Interested as well

[@moonviolet27]

I wondered that too!

[@sallycormier1383]

They would definitely sell! So pretty and simple. Would look lovely on a mantle above the fireplace.

[@catrinamoody8423]

Interested, its beautiful!

[@EmeryShae]

I’m sure wit would cost a fortune to ship. Canadian shipping is very expensive.

[@annettewalter2273]

The nativity scene is beautiful, so clever of your brother to do this.

[@robingoehren2515]

Yay, it's Giselle! Blessed Christmas time to your family.

[@suegillettful]

I love that song at the end. I know this is an old video and we are at the start of summer, I really enjoyed singing along with the beautiful song of hope and Christmas joy. I am old now but it brings back wonderful memories from my youth. I am the oldest of 4 kids and suffer from arthritis and this makes me remember my strength and vigor when I was young. Our family was poor but it was full of joy around Christmas as we helped my mom bake and prepare and cook all the Christmas goodies.

[@tamigreytak8622]

Giselle, those aren't just ordinary binoculars. Those are extra special because they are opera glasses! Enjoy!

[@skeeter1]

I love your nativity scene, so simple, but so beautiful!

Hi Giselle, hope you and your family have a happy and safe Christmas, all the best from Co Cork Ireland 🇮🇪

[@JourneyOfFaith72]

I (as usual!) enjoyed your video very much! Thank you for taking us along as you live your life to the fullest. Your enthusiasm reminds me to “do all things as unto the lord,” so that everything becomes meaningful and satisfying. Your brother’s manger scene is simply very beautiful! If he ever wishes to sell them I’d love to have one for our family!

[@luciddreams1122]

Wow what a beautiful nativity

[@ireneferrante2313]

Love the Nativity your brother made. Happy Christmas

[@dianaw5100]

Yesterday I found a shop that makes enormous meringue cookies, bigger than my head! Of course I bought a couple for the grandkids. They ate dinner in 10 minutes so they could get to the cookies, then took half an hour eating them. I didn't get a taste so may have to either buckle down and make some or go back to the shop. Love seeing Kona's wagging tail all the way out the door! Your brother has artistic talent as well as you with that beautiful nativity scene. I love it!

[@gisellewaldner9406]

i would have liked to make mine even bigger but, they like them small here so that you can pop them into your mouth and feel them melt 😊

[@dianaw5100]

Ooooh yes, almost like cotton candy.

[@carinetang776]

Two questions for you Giselle! 1. Please tell us about your tattoo - what does it say / why did you get it? 2. You mentioned that you have left and returned to the colony twice in your life. Why did you leave the second time?

[@cynthiafoster3564]

Love the Nativity your brother makes! It’s beautiful!
Love your videos. You have such a joyful spirit. Always laughing with your friends and family!
Thanks for sharing!
Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@jodiely7983]

Not only is she always laughing, when something is disappointing she makes the best of the situation. I am working on myself to be more accepting when disappointments come my way. Giselle is a great role model.

[@gisellewaldner9406]

thank you so much to both of you and for your love and support it means the world to me 😊

[@SeaSelka]

Hello from Russia! I am an Orthodox Christian, our tradition is very ancient, but I am interested to see what unusual forms Christianity takes in the modern world. Your lifestyle looks very unusual to me, but I see you filled with happiness and love for God and your neighbors. This is very inspiring!
I observe Advent according to the tradition of the Russian Church, it is 40 days of completely vegan food, without alcohol and entertainment. More prayer, Bible reading and texts from holy teachers, as well as charity of course. We will celebrate Christmas on the ancient calendar on January 7th.
God's blessings to you!
Sorry for the mistakes, I don't know English very well. :-)

[@gisellewaldner9406]

Hello to you too i love hearing where people are from it is so interesting and such a wide variety of places 😊 that is fascinating how you celebrate Christmas and no worries about the English everything seemed great to me 😊

[@sherriechampion7979]

How incredibly interesting, I love hearing about different cultures and how they worship and celebrate! 💕💕🙏

[@nancymiller-conrad9703]

Amazing ending!! Thank you so much. The singing made my day immensely better.

Thank you for such a fun time, the cookies were adorable! Have a wonderful week, much love! 💕💕💕🙏🙏 I hope your brother's finger is okay!💕🙏🙏 Little Drummer Boy, one of my favorites! 💕

[@gisellewaldner9406]

i'm glad you enjoyed it, yes his finger is doing ok which is a relief 😊

[@juliehuser7966]

Pretty video Giselle.....and fun too!! The Nativity is beautiful....would your brother consider making them and selling??? I would love one......also please be careful of any rawhide made in China.....not good for dogs.....please check the labels....Christmas blessings to you and your family....

[@gisellewaldner9406]

thank you for the heads up and Christmas blessings to you 😊 i told him that people are interested in the nativity so i might have put something in his head 😊

[@aspenenglish4976]

I don’t know if you read old comments. I’ve been sick and been on a Giselle watch marathon. The nativity scene your brother made was fabulous. I bought one from Amazon last year and was so disappointed with the quality and size. I wanted one for about the center of our mantle and 24 inches would have been perfect. I would pay $50 for one. I don’t know about Canadian shipping however. Love the singing at the end. You have the loveliest, calmest and most wholesome vlogs on YT. You’re an amazing young woman.

[@patriciamccollumn4635]

That's my favorite Christmas song at the end!

[@ayronsmama05]

Giselle at Walmart they have a Great Value brand of creme brulee coffee and it is amazing!! I didn't like the Keurig so I got the cheap $8.00 Main Stays coffee maker and use the cup from the over the counter cough medicine and add 1 scoop to the filter with 8 ounces of water. After brewed I add my splenda and milk and ice, yummy!! Also a squirt of whipped cream from time to time. God Bless and Merry Christmas, love Marilyn from Tennessee!!

[@gisellewaldner9406]

sounds delightful i'll have to look into it 😊 God bless you

The snow is beautiful! I live in Florida and it was in the mid 80s Fahrenheit today. I’m ready for cold weather!

[@wilde1909]

I’ve watched several of your videos and you mention the head cook. Could you interview her. I think most women who watch your videos would be interested in learning about her responsibilities and how those responsibilities effect what you do in the kitchen.

[@karihayes5448]

My favorite Bible verse at the end. Really says it all ❤

[@michelelynn6914]

I’m loving the red polka dotted dress stunning ! 💜🥰

[@TheRawfoodgardener]

I've just received the Morning Mercies devotional and it's excellent! I have some question for you.
Q.Do you make winter weight fabric dresses, they seem very thin for the cold weather, are you allowed to wear trousers under?
Q. Is there an average age a girl settles down and gets married?
Q.who will help your mum when you get married?
Q. Please would you explain your dry herb tea cupboard all the process, do you own a dehydrater to make the teas?
Thank you, love your content x

[@gisellewaldner9406]

lets see :)
#1 no special dresses we just wear a lot of layers
#2 i would say around 21-25 but, that changes and there are a variety of ages that one gets married although at you don't want to go too young 20 being the lowest 19 is borderline and questionable.
#3 :) well that depends on if i move or stay here when i get married
#4 i figured for the tea i would make a video when we pick them i wanted to last year but, never got the chance
i hope that helped with the questions that you had 😊

[@heiditagge5776]

I commented already earlier but I just want to say that its so great that you showed your devotionals. I wanted to ask so I am really glad that someone asked and that you showed them.

[@karensiegel6669]

I use to make "nighty nights" which is a meringue cookie with mini chocolate chips or mini M&Ms inside them. The oven is set at 250 degrees F. Put the cookies in and then turn off the oven and the cookies are left in the oven over night or 6-7 hours depending on the humidity in your kitchen.

[@sarahrickman6609]

I hope y'all have a Christ Centered Family Time this season. I really enjoy thrifting for French old world stuff. Looks like you guys had fun.

[@CarinaPiersay]

I know you love Kona 💗 very much. Please think twice about giving her rawhide treats. The rawhide can’t be digested and has caused blockages to the point that dogs need surgery and sometimes don’t make it. I’ve been giving my dogs “bullies.” They are more expensive than rawhide but to me it’s worth it.

[@1234lowkey]

You beat me to it! I was going to type the same - raw bones or leftover marrow bones from the grocery store are a good alternative too!

[@doreenblatz2440]

I buy the exact rawhides she bought for Kona, I’ve been buying them for years with no problems. I took my dog to the vet for a check up and the vet said she had amazing good teeth, I told the vet about the rawhides from Dollarama and she said because she chews a lot that probably why her teeth are so good for an 11 year old dog. 🤷‍♀️

[@CarinaPiersay]

@@doreenblatz2440 you’re lucky. Maybe your dog chews them into small enough pieces that they pass. They aren’t digestible though.

[@gisellewaldner9406]

Those binoculars are pretty cool. If I was there, I would have gotten them. Now you will have to make a video of him using them. I want to go see something in a theater and could really use those. LOL. But I have already forgotten what I wanted to see so I am not going, and the tickets were so much so no, for sure, not going. But those little binoculars would be perfect and they are so pretty. I am so weird, I ALWAYS have a pair in my car in case I need them.

My grandmother use to make meringue cookies we called them nighty nights. She would make them mint ie mint extract and mint chocolate chips or chocolate chips I like the mint chips . Placed by spoonfuls onto cookies sheets and placed in cold oven turn on and baked accordingly then turn off oven and leave in overnight. Hence the name Nighty Nights :) Thought the cook tip may help next time that you make your meringues . Made me want one :) Yes they cooked and dried !

Since yesterday I've been watching your series because I'm now interested in your language, Hutterite German. When the pandemic is over I want to visit your community to learn Hutterite cooking and to know how to make the pretty traditional dress you are now wearing! Maybe you can open the cookery class for foreign women especially from Asian countries. :D
