Video Clip
This is a video clip of one of local Mennonite schools taking a field trip to Dallas. Thought you might enjoy seeing the children and hearing them sing. The teacher is a long time friend of ours.

I am from Europe so it was a big suprise to come across the Mennonites and Amish (never heard of them before except for film Witness).
Glad to say that the Amish I met were friendly (one of the Amish guys organized for me to visit two Amish farms).
The Amish, I met were, also, down-to-earth with a sense of humour (quiet humour). They reminded me very much of the farming community I grew up with in the west of Ireland.
Farmers in the west of Ireland about 20 - 25 years ago, didn't have a lot of money and led simple lives, but were happy.
There is a lot to be said for simple living. And a lot we can learn from the Amish and Mennonites.
