of "plan" is,

but I think I know

what you're talking about.

Well, contraception?

No. Like, control? Yeah.

No, there is no planning.

Um...

For me, it's...

I think Miriam thinks

about children more than I do.

For me, I'm so busy with the ones

that He has given us

when He gives us another one,

I'm rejoicing,

but I'm not really thinking

we should have another one

because how could I be one-on-one

if we had ten,

instead of five or four?

But God would...

He doesn't make mistakes.

So I'm sure there is a way.

"Happy is a man that has his quiver

full of them."

I think, a quiver of arrows

is 12 arrows.

Is that... Am I right? I think so.

And happy is the man

that has 12 of them.

Is that how many you would like?

Would you like 12 children?

Well, I can't quite see it possible

any more. I'm 32!

And I've had four.

Er, I need a couple of sets of twins

maybe to be able to make 12!

But I've always, I thought

a family of ten would be ideal.

The family were happy

to be filmed shopping.

But it had to be discreet.

Other Amish also shop at the store

and could challenge them

at any time.

Thank you, Lord,

for your blessings on me

Thank you Lord for giving to me

All of my friends and family

Thank you lord

for your blessings on me

All of the days,

the rest of my life

No matter what life holds for me

I could be on my knees

Forever you know

But I never could thank you enough

Everything for your honour and glory,

in Jesus' name, Amen.

Let's get started.

It's about 6:
15.

..Forever you know

But I never could

thank you enough.

And now I lay me down to sleep

I pray thee, Lord, my soul to keep

If I should die before I wake

I pray thee, Lord,

my soul to take.

O, they tell me of a home

far beyond the skies

O, they tell me

of a home far away

O, they tell me of a home

where no storm clouds rise

O, they tell me of an unclouded day

O, the land of cloudless day

O, the land of an unclouded sky

O, they tell me of a home

where no storm clouds rise

O, they tell me of an unclouded day

O, they tell me of a king

in his beauty there

And they tell me that

my eyes shall behold

Where he sits on his throne

that is whiter than snow

In the city that is made of gold

O, the land of cloudless day

O, the land of an unclouded sky

O, they tell me of a home

where no storm clouds rise

O, they tell me

of an unclouded day.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

I love you.

Goodnight.

Sabbath today.

Yeah. What a beautiful day. It is.

You are welcome to come in

and worship with us.

"We have here..."

The Amish attend church

every other Sunday.

In between, they worship at home.

"..Of all time.

Thou shalt not kill

"and whosoever shall kill shall
