What a lovely family.

Merry Christmas Laura from the Bruderhof ✝🙏🎄

[@joanmatchett8100]

Hello Laura , it's pretty cold in England for July , plenty of rain , no sunshine. It's been the worst spring and summer in my lifetime. And I've lived a long time, I'm pleased you are getting good weather and can enjoy the outdoors .

[@yvonneimam8305]

Again the weather is crazy this Summer. There are days we are suffering of heat more than 32 degrees Celsius. Next day heavy rain and thunderstorm. Wishing you a pleasant summer. Love from Germany

[@junipermeisje6300]

Netherlands here, hi! Weather is similar to England, and definitely odd, but I personally wouldn’t call it bad. I hate it when it’s 25+ degrees C. So I’m happy with this weather. :)

[@joanmatchett8100]

@@yvonneimam8305 Thank you so much x

[@Chuloon]

Your videos always put a smile on my face. I cannot have children of my own so it's really nice to see you bringing up your boys with so much love!

[@LaurafromtheBruderhof]

You're so sweet! Thanks for your comment 😊

[@bonniewoodard2771]

Always a Delight to hear from you, Laura!! Family looks terrific! Thank you for the gift-of-you and for showing me what a blessed life-with-God looks like ... wish I was there! God Bless all of you ... Bonnie in Canada

[@LaurafromtheBruderhof]

Hi Bonnie, really nice to hear from you too ☺️

[@sweetsuzanna]

Oh, Laura, your little guys are so sweet and so handsome. Thank you for sharing your family with us! I love that you share with us your little slice of life. I'm in Las Vegas, Nevada and it's been 118 at my home. I am indoors with my sweet little dogs! Best wishes to you all.🧡🧡🧡

[@LaurafromtheBruderhof]

Wow! That's amazing!! Stay cool 💨

[@ana_nes]

It's so good to see you all! Thank you for this update.

Hi Laura, the boys are growing so big, now! Here in the UK the weather has been cold and very wet. When it doesn't rain it feels like a privilege! It was like that on Saturday so I rode 40 miles on my pushbike, grabbing the opportunity while I can!

[@LaurafromtheBruderhof]

40 miles is impressive! Have a great rest of your weekend!

[@D.N..]

Hi Laura, Its great to see that all is well with you and your family.. and, as you probably know by now... boys seem to have a natural instinct for finding the most muddy place to place in, almost as if they have built in radar. 💢

[@LaurafromtheBruderhof]

Totally 🤣

[@daisychan6571]

Hello Laura! It is summertime here in the UK and it has been a crazy summer- thunderstorms one day, bright sun the next! My husband and I are currently moving house, so I spent my Saturday afternoon packing and seeing local friends for afternoon tea!

[@LaurafromtheBruderhof]

Good luck with the move! 😊

[@gigidodson]

Such a lovely family. My family in Oregon is staying in doors out of the 100 ⁰ weather. I am ever so grateful for central air conn. As a child and teen, the weather did not effect me overly much. But menopause just about chicken fried me. I had never been so uncomfortable. At 63, I have a very large appreciation for air conn.

[@LaurafromtheBruderhof]

I agree 💯

[@Noone-rt6pw]

Such a short good bye! It’d be good if you could share more of the area with us! Let us see what’s what and where!

[@OurFamilyJourney]

Hey Laura and fam! I'm in Australia (Melbourne) it's pretty cold here now, though not as cold as it gets in some parts of the world. None the less, I'm here on my computer indoors while wearing a jacket and shivering! I am learning to crochet, so today will spend a bit of time doing that and then tending to the garden before picking up my little one from kinder.

[@mrr4624]

Hi Laura 👋 wonderful to see the sunshine where you are as there's not a lot of it in the UK at the moment. Atlas is growing so big ❤

[@tanyaellis5433]

Hi Laura, Im so glad you have done a little vlog. I was wondering where you were. Your children are beautiful. The weather in the UK is all rain, rain, rain. Im glad you have the sun with you.

[@LaurafromtheBruderhof]

Thanks! Sorry about all the rain-hope you get some nice sunny weather soon ☀️

[@punkuser]

Miss you!! ❤ hope you all are doing well!

[@LaurieBartels]

Glad to see another clip on your life. The boys are getting so big! As for me, on a warm Saturday afternoon, I was packing to move from Yerevan, Armenia to Almaty, Kazakhstan! one week left before the move. 3 days until moving company comes

[@LaurafromtheBruderhof]

Thanks for the comment ☺️ All the best with your move!

[@hayleyhibbard7875]

It's so lovely to see you and your boys enjoying the warm July days. I am spending my time in front of our fire, as it's very cold and rainy here in Cape Town, South Africa. Looking forward to seeing your next video. Enjoy the beautiful New York weather. 😊

[@LaurafromtheBruderhof]

😊 stay warm!

[@robinsdog1]

I’m in Central New Jersey, which really isn’t too far from you. It has been unbearably hot for weeks. Maybe you being on the Hudson River is a bit cooler. This week coming up is supposed to be roasting hot. You are such a delight and I’m glad you came on and gave us an update.

[@esty-arnold5124]

I came inside after cutting up branches and see a new Bruderhof video! 🎉

[@DeannaOhlhaut]

What a cute little wave from ATLAS! Took the youngest to Vacation Bible School today. Afterwards he enjoyed an afternoon at the YMCA swimming! Love Saturday family days

[@tigermiep]

Lovely to see you and your collection of boys (including Chris! :) )

[@LaurafromtheBruderhof]

Thanks!

[@VisualWalkUK]

Hello Laura, greetings from Birmingham UK . Wishing you the best and your family. I 'd like to visit the community the see how daily life is out there and really interesting to know.As far as I know,BBC documentary is pretty misleading. Your little boy is sweet by the way❤

[@LaurafromtheBruderhof]

Thanks! Hope you can visit too! Have a great rest of your summer 😊

[@janeallen7679]

Lovely to hear from you and to see your family. We’ve not had much of a summer here in the UK, lots of rain and July hasn’t been very warm. Still we hope for a better August as the children will all be on holiday. September can be nice too. Hope to see another vlog from you soon Laura xx

[@LaurafromtheBruderhof]

Hope so too!

[@KarenAdamson-o8r]

Laura, how adorable those boys are. Once I’m able to walk again I would love to visit. Exciting news about Jennifer. Since I’m housebound 😢 I’m staying cool❤🐄🐄

[@LaurafromtheBruderhof]

So happy to hear that you are doing better! ❤️ Can't wait to see you again soon!

[@billcanonico6657]

my daughter Abigail has three boys, too. what a blessing.

[@LaurafromtheBruderhof]

Awesome!

Sweet boys, we are moving into our new home and it’s been 99+ degrees out .

[@LaurafromtheBruderhof]

Wow! 😯

[@Soofi1906]

Hi Laura. I live in Uruguay where it’s winter here. I went our for a run even though it was 0ºC and it felt great to feel the cold fresh air bur the warmth of the heart and spirit. Always nice to see your wonderful family in adventures. All the best from the southern hemisphere

[@LaurafromtheBruderhof]

That sounds amazing! I love that feeling of running in the cool weather too. All the best to you as well ❤️

[@TheHeartSmart1]

Hi Laura! Its Dana from San Diego. Its only about 80 degrees, but the sun is very strong when you're not in the shade. Making Miso Halibut with a wasabi mash in the air conditioning! Beautiful boys, enjoy!

[@LaurafromtheBruderhof]

Sound delicious! Yum!

I just checked into your channel. I was thinking about you a couple of weeks ago when l heard that an old friend who had married a sweet young woman from Ruanda and moved back there died. His name was Dr. Simeon Wiehler. He grew up in the Bruderhof in Rifton. I met him at Cornell while he was on hiatus from running a home for street children in Uganda. His mother and sister are still in the Bruderhof. I wonder if you might know of him. He was an incredible guy. He loved the Lord and bc of his upbringing in your community he was incredibly gifted with so many practical skills! I am a 77 year old woman who grew up on Long Island. I love following your life. I was so pleasantly surprised to see that you have added a new baby to your precious family. May the Lord bless and keep you!

[@katherinegriffith5546]

Your boys are so precious! Well it's 118+ here and our AC is out...UGH!! We are slow moving today, trying not to overheat

[@LaurafromtheBruderhof]

All the best with the move 💪

Thanks! 😊 That would be so cool if you would come for a visit. You don't have to be a Christian to stop by! There's information here on the Bruderhof website if you are interested: www.bruderhof.com/connect

Be careful for ticks!!! I just had an awful bout of Lyme infection….

[@LaurafromtheBruderhof]

Oh no😧 Lymes is the worst! Sorry to hear that. Hope you are feeling better. Yes, I'm super careful to keep a lookout for ticks.

Haven't seen a KZbin post from you on my feed in ages. Had no idea you had a little one! So congratulations! We're roasting here in Los Angeles. My husband and I just got back from celebrating our 41st anniversary at a Japanese restaurant. Let's hear it for black cod with miso sauce!

[@LaurafromtheBruderhof]

Congratulations on 41 years! ❤️❤️ Sounds like a wonderful celebration dinner!

תודה ❤❤❤

Could you say anything about the Bruderhoff in NC! I’ve sent you guys emails, but I never heard back, which there might be a middleman which could interfere, but it’d be good to know about other Bruderhoff communities too! Evidently they haven’t jumped on informing the world!

Oh hey, sorry to hear that. You can always try reaching out via the Bruderhof website: www.bruderhof.com/connect All the best 🙂

[@Noone-rt6pw]

@@LaurafromtheBruderhof Thank you and best to you and yours! I appreciate you writing back! With community, over time, surely you have identified traits of people “not raised” in community that when introduced to community came in hesistantly, then fell inline, some it was made for them! Going back 30 years ago, I interacted via mail with Bruderhoff, where I liked what I saw! But things happened. But you guys are listed with the Fellowship for International Community or Foundation for….., that may have been I found you guys! 30 years ago, I was fit, very! Homesteading was a thing too! But between the F.F.I.C., what traits are absolutes nos where there’s exceptions to the rules as with anything, where one does make it! What type does make it? The latter is more important. Which how much an acre of land where you guys is? Rich with Deanna, Rich mentioned how he thought it’d been cool to live off the land! Which I had plans to be set up to do so while living in modern comforts, where survival/living skills (forget just surviving) would be just a hobby ! Where I would have had a homestead, studied on it many years! Being I saw your response, I thought I’d take the chance to see if you would respond to who are the types that make it in Community living and what type of person makes it at the Bruderhoff? If you have time to tell me, I’d appreciate your input. Feel free to share to others if you think others might inject something you do not, please! 🙏. Now, how much an acre of land beside you guys? 😇😇😇
