E17: Life Growing Up Mennonite, Forbidden Teenage Love, Family, Modernizing: Eddie & Ruthie Guenther 

Thank you John for coming out and doing this video for us ! It turned out great! Your amazing and it was so fun! ☺️ we could write a whole book on our journey together some tears happy some sad God has Blessed us richly ! And I know he is Blessing you through this channel with all the wonderful ppl you have met and are to meet 😊

America would be such a better place filled with people like that family.

When someone has a dad who loved the Lord and his family, you can tell it when the person speaks of him. My dad went home to be with the Lord a little over a year ago. He had the same heart as your dad had. At his funeral, people we didnt know shared with us how much he had helped them in their time of need. Dad was a pharmacist and owned his own drugstore. He gave away so much medicine to families that didnt have the money. Such a faithful husband and father. I was truly blessed to have him.

John, this is the best show you have produced. What a joy to listen to their love story. Thank you Eddie and Ruthie.

What a great and interesting story. I liked how you just sat down with Eddie and Ruthie and had them tell their story. Very powerful. Thank you John!

For me John that was one of the very best you’ve done ,loved every single minute.Beautiful people,and loving family,and technically fantastic colour and quality as well as sound.I love to watch the hard working Guenther family. I think the world could learn an awful lot from the Guenthers.A big thank you John .

This video was much needed! Thank you so much for your testimony! God bless you all and many prayers 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister 🙏🏻 💕 💜 🙌 🙏🏻

This is really great to see and hear more from the Guenthers especially with Eddie and Ruthie, hearing their story and i like seeing this part of the country thank you for another wonderful video of the rural areas of the United States, thank you God Bless John.🙏🇺🇲

What a wonderful story of your life. Enjoyed it all.

John? It is killing me to sit here for an hour and three minuets watching this video. I have 10 minuets to go But this is as good as you said it would be in your video of your fall schedule. These are interesting people and have a great time to describe.

Wonderful family who are a blessing to all! The love and affection for David was made obvious in a number of instances throughout the video. Love and may God bless!

Enjoyed hearing your story. So happy to see that the two of you overcame life's obstacles and held on to the love that brought you together those years ago. 🙏❤️

WOW! What a great video! This was an amazing story of true love, unwise youthful decisions, hardships, family conflict, redemption, and etc. I was riveted from the beginning and couldn’t stop watching. It was a real blessing! Thank you for all the great things you are doing for Appalachia!

I love how you take care of family, your parents left a beautiful legacy. ❤

Really enjoyed this John, Eddie and Ruth telling there story was something special also looking after Dave the way they are is wonderful, I wish them so much success going forward here in the uk, Tennessee life looks the best style seems pretty simple with hard work and love for the family so much different from the mad world of the big cities like London thanks.

As always John another good video I really enjoyed hearing the man and woman talk I know it's a lot of hard work what they do I have seen it made in my lifetime very few people where I was raised done that so I kind of know what they're talking about

Thank you John for another wonderful video from this family. I've enjoyed them all & I'm for sure going to order some of their product! I keep a file with all the places you go & can't wait to make a road trip. I'm in CT and because of your videos and introduction to this part of the country I am looking at relocating to Tennessee. I've had it with hurricanes and winter Noreasters! I look forward to your next video.

Great video really enjoyed them telling about there journey through the years reminds me little of my wife and I we married young here we are 39 years later

I love e this couples story . At 72 married for over 43 years

You never know what someones life is like until they tell you. From the surface, everything looks good but when you talked to them they let us know it is not always a bowl of cherries. They are believers in God and it showes in their actions.🙏❤️🙂

Ruth, I know you must be proud of your father's war time service in England with the U.S. Army Air Corps. It became the U.S, Air Force after the war by the National Defense Security Act of 1947. What a great history you have.
