Solomon Eaten: Welcome at this church meeting

Kylian Freeman: We will discus the coming up from the church elders election and we are discussing the new church vision. Solomon will introduce the topic.

Solomon: As church elders we made a church vision. We have a growing church and want to make clear where we stand for as church and churchmembers. You all had a handout with the main points we want to include in our vision.

Ralph Kenley: Eh, can I ask something?

Kylian: Ofcourse, it's a discussion so you all could ask questions.

Ralph: It says here that we think women should take care for children and are not meant to work outside the house.

Solomon: That's right

Ralph: Well, I don't really agree with that. My mother worked my whole childhood and I turned out fine. I think it's perfectly fine for Leah to work when we become parents

Harvey Barrow: So you two want to become parents?

Ralph: Ofcourse

Harvey: I doesn't look like it. You guys are married for 2 years and no pregnancy yet. It's clear you two are preventing children.

a shock wave goes around the church

Solomon: I think, as church we stand for being quiverful. Every child is a gift from the Lord and none should be prevented.

Ethan Barrow: Well, as someone with just six children gifted by the Lord that's easy. I have nine to look after and provide for. I sure get Ralph for preventing children

Harvey: Ethan!

Ethan: sorry, dad, but had only six, just like Solomon. It's harder having more children.

Joshua Leppert: I think it's better that we all stay calm during this discussion. We each have our own family, our own circumstances.

Justin Delgato: Well, you have 13 children. How do you feel about being quiverful?

Pierre Clarkson: That's not fair! He has been funded by all of us all along.

Justin: Oh

Jordan Kenley: I stand by Ralph. I don't think it's wrong to let a women work or prevent having children

Dylan Kenley: Yeah! Me too.

Ethan: I think we should all leave the desicion making to each and every one of the men here. Not to the church!

By a whole group: yeah!

Joshua: I think that's a fair point.

Geoffrey Landgraab: Welcome all, let's go to the living room

Nancy Landgraab: So neat that you all came over.

Sienna Barrow: We are so excited if this works out

Nancy: Oh, I'm sure they will

Sienna: Well, I'm a bit scared after the broken courtship with Gavin Rogers. I really thought it would work out.

Malcolm: So nice that you and your family came over

Joanna: Well, I can't turn down an invation from your mother, can I

Malcolm: Yeah, they are all waiting for us to start courting

Joanna: Yeah, they are.

Malcolm: haha

Joanna: haha

Malcolm: eh

Joanna: Eh?

Malcolm: Well, how would you feel if we would?

Joanna: You seriously want to start courting?

Malcolm: Well, eh, yeah, I guess so

Joanna: Eh...

Malcolm: It's okay to think about it

Joanna: Well, it ended badly with Gavin

Malcolm: That doesn't mean it will end badly again. Does it?

Joanna: I guess you are right. Maybe we just have to try it.

Harvey Barrow: Ofcourse you will try it, Joanna. Malcolm couldn't be a better match for you

Since I'm stopping with fundiechurch a bit of info of each family about their future.

Harvey and Sienna don't have any more children left at home. They are fully in grandparents mode. They love each of the childrens family's including Leah's. They are 70 and 66 years old but will live for about 20 years to see their grandchildren grow up and have greatgrandchildren.

Hannah and Solomon have already been discussed in the Eaten post.

Timothy and Lydia just have discoverd that Lydia's cancer has returned. Lydia will get worse and worse and will die in about a year. She will leave Timothy behind with their eight children. The two eldest daughters, Christa and Heather, will step in and help their father take care of their younger siblings. Timothy will never remarry altough the presure to do so will be great. He will never love someone like he loved Lydia.

Malcolm Landgraab: Hi, mister Barrow, I have a note from my father for you.

Harvey Barrow: Hi, Malcolm, come in

Malcolm: thank you, sir

Sienna Barrow: how lovely to bring that personaly to Harvey.

Malcolm: Ofcourse

Sienna: Do you want something to drink? Please sit down

Harvey: Hey, Joanna, look who came by

Joanna Barrow: Hi Malcolm

Malcolm: Hi Joanna

Harvey: How are you doing, Malcolm?

Malcolm: Great, thank you.

Harvey: Do you already have a girl?

Malcolm: No, sir, I haven't.

Harvey: Aren't you Rachel's age?

Malcolm: Yes, sir

Harvey: Isn't everybody married already?

Malcolm: Yes, or about to. Gavin Rogers will marry soon

Sienna: Do you want to stay for diner?

Gavin Rogers droped a hint some time ago about him being interested in a girl. Finaly it's time for him to go to her dad.

Gavin: So, eh, mister Barrow. I came with a special reason

Harvey Barrow: I was hoping that was the case

Gavin: eh, I would like to get to know Joanna better

Harvey: We would be thrilled for you two to start courting and get to know eachother better

Gavin: Thank you sir

Harvey: I will call her

Joanna: Hi Gavin

Harvey: Gavin came here to ask you to court him and I'm alright with that

Joanna: Really? I just turned 18

Gavin: I have been waiting for you to turn 18

Joanna: Really!?

Harvey: Joanna? Do you want to court Gavin?

Ralph Kenley is already 27 years old and he has a younger brother who is already married. Ralph wants a wife too and since he came a member of churchims he has been noticing one single girl that is not a minor, Leah Barrow. Now he is sitting in the livingroom of the Barrow family, trying to convice Harvey Barrow to let him court his daughter.

Harvey: So, I was really glad when you asked to come over, Ralph.

Ralph: Eh, really?

Harvey: Yes

Ralph: oh

Harvey: Maybe you haven't noticed it yet but I have only two daughters left at home. One still very young, Joanna is 16 years old. But I have another daughter, Leah. And she is a bit older and still single.

Ralph: I did actually notice that

Harvey: She is a bit hard to please thow, she has a mind of her own.

Ralph: Oh

Harvey: But as long as you let her make music she will give in on a lot of other things.

Ralph: hmm

Harvey: I'll call her in a minute. But first I wanted to ask you if you would like to get to know her better?

Ralph: Eh, hmm, eh, yes, I think so

Harvey: Great!

Harvey: So, Leah, this is Ralph

Leah: I know him from church, dad.

Harvey: Good! He came here to ask if he could start courting you.

Leah: Really?

Ralph: Eh, yes

Harvey: I'm alright with you two courting if you are too, Leah

Leah: hmmm, eh, well, I think I would want that too.

Ralph: Really?

After Rachel Barrow talked to her mother about Titus Leppert maybe showing interest in her, Harvey invited him over to talk.

Harvey: So, Titus, thank you for coming

Titus: Ofcourse sir, what is the matter?

Harvey: I have heared that you have shown some interest in one of my daughters, is that right?

Titus: Eh, yeah, sir. But we just have been talking some at teenclub and after church.

Harvey: Alright. That's alright. But, if you are serious, why not make it official?

Titus: Like a courtship?

Harvey: Yes, indeed. Why don't you two start courting and get to know eachother and eachothers family's better.

Titus: Eh, yeah. Fine with me. Rachel is a great girl and I really like to get to know her better.

Harvey: Good! Then you two start courting and always with a chaperonne
