@@Digeroo123 i thought about it for awhile, especially with the insane amount of messsages asking me if we have a business and what it is...it was too much but, even if i meantiond in a video about not directly saying where i'm from there are still way too many people asking that question, its mind boggling.

[@Digeroo123]

@@gisellewaldner9406 I enjoy knowing where people are because I follow their weather. I currently follow a strawberry farmer from Missouri and a Vegetable farm in Pennsylvania, (The Veggie Boys) They are so educational. Watching them potting plants is inspirational. I grow a lot of my own vegetables. Am I right that you do not eat gluten, I have a wheat intolerance, but I cannot even touch it, I have to wear gloves and face mask for any kind of baking. I am in England, if you put your finger into the middle of a map of England you will have squashed me.

Giselle, an imperfect loaf of bread is a blessing in disguise; it reminds us to be humble. :-)

[@catherinecookson225]

Even the animals live in peace and harmony. This is amazing to me. I am so happy you popped up in my feed a few days ago. I saw the word Hutterite for the first time. It intrigued me. So I clicked. I am learning so many new things. You are living my best life😁 Without your willingness to share I wouldn't have the opportunity to learn these things. Thank you for all the hard work that goes into this channel.

It is such a relief to see these videos. Much of the content online we come across is, well, you know. It is a gift when we can find fellow Christians living in a peace, with a separation but not division, and a respect for the things that God has given us. Videos like this do a net good in a way I cannot fully express. Thank you for making them, and please continue to do so.

[@mistyd8866]

Don't sweat the small stuff Giselle. When that loaf of bread is sliced it is unlikely that anyone would notice the small piece of crust that is missing. I am just learning to bake bread (gluten-free) so just learning about how yeast looked when it was activated was part of the learning curve. Yes, some of my loaves (bricks) went in the garbage but I am quite happy now to have a tasty loaf of bread. There are fewer people in the world that know how to bake bread than those that don't so you have a skill that probably 75% of the world cant' do. Be proud of your skills! I used to tell my children that they didn't have to be perfect because only God doesn't make mistakes. It's all good.

[@gisellewaldner9406]

thank you for making me feel better I even laughed that you said that you had bricks but, I guess thats one of the best ways to learn, from your own mistakes. if you wouldn't mind would you share your GF bread recipe we have tried so many and they usually end up tasting quite bad of are to difficult to handle or lose we have actually given up already but, I'm willing to give it another go.

[@mistyd8866]

@@gisellewaldner9406 I would be happy to share the recipe. It comes from the website Gluten Free Habit.

I didnt count how many of you were there but was AMAZED seeing the coat you girls competed in a few hours!
