Is anyone friends with an Amish family? I would love to be pen pals with them. Please PM if you have an amish friend that would like to write back and forth. Thank you. Kim

Hi Kim, I love going to Amish country here in Ohio. Although I don't have any Amish friends I love talking to the local merchants. I had a patient once from there and his wife was so nice to talk to. He was very ill but I got to know them a bit. I really am in awe of the simplicity of their lives. It's such a treat to go there. I feel like I'm in a different world :)
You live where I'm from!! :D:D

No, but I would love to be friends with some amish. I really admire the life style (don't think I could go for all of it) and the faith that they have. I love to go to Lancaster and have been to Ohio (want to go again).

This would be on my bucket list: To spend a day with an amish family.

Anything I know of the Amish is that they stay within their community. There is limited contact. They are hard working and friendly but very private in their lives.

I have a very good friend whose husband is Quaker...fairly traditional upbringing and extended family....I guess that's close but not quite. Sorry. I really admire the Amish too!

I am from Ohio real close to the amish country, I love to go there when I visit My relatives. I miss Ohio alot. I love the Amish people and what they do and how they live,

I live in the middle of Amish country...actually our Amish neighbors' pasture butts up against our back yard! But as the previous poster said, they live very private lives. No pics, no electricity, no cars, etc. But I have traded vegetables in the summer and been given great recipes. They are wonderful people if you ever have the opportunity to get to know them.

please ask if they would like to write to me. if they do, i can provide my address by pm. Thank you.
