Church meeting

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.

Solomon: Well, it's not. We all should stand together to make a clear message to our children.

A courtship starting

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

Joanna: Yes, dad

[fundiesimsfamily]

The Barrow family

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.

Rachel and Titus have been discussed in the Leppert post.

Urgent message

Dear church members,

We have to share sad news. After having a difficult discussion about our church vision we recieved from several members the message that if we continue with the vision they will split. We are heartbroken over the event but as church elders we feel that it is important for our church. We will continue the proces to make a vision for our church.

We urge all the members who have doupts to stay with the church to rethink, pray and talk about it to us. We understand your hesitations and are always open to talk about it.

Your church elders,

Solomon Eaten, Kylian Freeman, Harvey Barrow, Geoffrey Landgraab, Winston Reagan

[fundiesimsfamily]

Church elders

Solomon: Guys! We really have to start now!

Kylian: yes, indeed. Come sit down. Winston, you can start. What's going on?

Winston: Well, we have found a woman for Hugo. It really seems they hit it off and he is about to move over to her. She can't come live her. So he will leave our church. Sad but it's better for him.

Kylian: Alright, that's very good news although we will miss him in our community. Logan, you're next

Logan: Nothing new or disturbing. But I have to submit me leaving the church and ofcourse as churchelders. We have found a home on the other side of the country, closer to Alice her parents. They are getting older and they need help from us.

Kylian: Another loss for our church. We are sad to see you and your family go.

Logan: I know, it's not easy moving but it's for the better.

Kylian: We will pray for you and your family as well as Hugo. Geoffrey, your turn

Geoffrey: Everything is going well but I'm a bit disturped that Ralph and Leah Kenley haven't announced a pregnany yet. It's been almost two years since they got married. I will go over there and check up on them soon.

Kylian: Good for you for noticing. Maybe they need help.

Harvey: It's my turn. Everything is going great. Nothing to worry about

Kylian: Great. Solomon, how about you?

Solomon: Well, we have to keep an eye on the Elderberry's. They are both getting older and Rohan isn't living with them anymore to keep an eye on them.

Kylian: That is a great idea. Nothing new or disturbing with my people so I think we can adress the next topic. The elections.

Solomon: Yes, we Logan leaving we will have three openings. Harvey and Geoffrey both are at the end of their term. I'll put things in motion for the election.

Kylian: Thank you Solomon. Then I think we can round up. Till next time guys

[fundiesimsfamily]

At the Barrow's

Gavin Rogers: Thank you all for coming, Joanna and I wanted to talk to you all

Harvey Barrow: What's the matter, Gavin?

Gavin: Well, Joanna and I have been courting for a couple of months now

Oliver Rogers: Yes, do you want to marry her already?

Gavin: Well, dad, no

Dakota Rogers: What is it then, Gavin?

Gavin: Eh, Joanna and I came to the conclusion we are friends and there isn't a future for us together

Harvey: Well, well

Sienna Barrow: But, Gavin and Joanna, you have to be friends first to become lovers. Being friends is so important for your relationship as a husband and wife. So it might not be lost.

Oliver: Exactly, just try it a little longer

Gavin: We tried it, dad, it didn't work

Dakota: And yet when I thought everything was going great for once in my life, God throws this in my face. What now, Gavin?

Gavin: mom

Dakota: No, not mom. How are you going to explain this?

Gavin: Well, like I did to you...

Dakota: Can you imagen all the gossip that will arise. You will never find a wife and Joanna will never find a husband

Sienna: Yes, indeed. Did you two really think this through all the way?

Gavin: Yes, we did.

Harvey: Then we must accept our loss and deal with the consequenses.

Dakota: Well, that's easy for you to say. Leah is married and we still don't know anything about our Belle.

Dakota stands up and leaves the house, Oliver rushes after her.

[fundiesimsfamily]

Finaly time

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?

Joanna: Sure

[fundiesimsfamily]

[fundiesimsfamily]

Church elders meeting

Another church elders meeting at the Freeman's house. Church elders are Kylian Freeman, Solomon Eaten, Colton Reagan, Harvey Barrow and Geoffrey Landgraab.

Kylian: Thanks you all for coming. Today is on the agenda: the upcoming elections, Coltons last time and the usual rounds of all the problems that people in church face.

Geoffrey: Were do we start?

Kylian: First the upcoming elections. Solomon, you do that usually

Solomon: Yes, well, we have one place because of Colton's goodbye. But last church bulletin we had 146 members, that means in between 6 and 7 church elders. We currently have only 5. It makes sence to add another place to the elections to make the number of church elders to 6.

Kylian: I agree. We all have quite a number of family's to look after. It would be nice to have a little less family's.

Harvey: I agree with Kylian

Solomon: Alright. So we have to places to be filled up.

Kylian: Next is Colton's goodbye. Colton, we are very thankful for your years serving in church as an elder. You have been a stable rock for all off us to build on. Thank you

Colton: Thank you for you kind words, Kylian. I loved being an elder but since my four years are over it's time someone else takes my place.

Kylian: Then we go by all the family's. Geoffrey, you are first.

Geoffrey: Well, there is really nothing going on with my family's.

Kylian: That's great Geoffrey, Harvey, you are next

Harvey: I have the White family, they are doing great with their adopted children. So we can take them off the list Winston&Katrina Reagan are worried about Katrina's unmarried daughter, Dina. Let's keep them on our prayers list. And Colton and Nina Reagan are looking for a bigger place.

Kylian: Geoffrey? You are treasure, do you want to take care of the people looking at a new place?

Geoffrey: yes, I will

Kylian: Great, then next up is Colton

Colton: I'm a bit worried about Hugo. He doesn't want much contact with his children and he is living by himself now. He works hard but that is it.

Kylian: We keep him on our prayers list then. Solomon?

Solomon: Logan and Alice Nelson need a bigger place. They now have 10 children and it doesn't fit in there home much longer. Max Villareal is about to get married so we can remove him from the prayers list.

Kylian: Alright, Geoffrey, you take Logan&Alice also. And good to take another one of the list. Then I'm next. We have to keep Oliver&Dakota in our prayers. They are very happy with their son getting married but it also made them miss their daughter Belle even more. She should have been present. That's all from my people.

Solomon: We are done, guys. Time for some coffee and cookies

[fundiesimsfamily]

Leah Barrow getting hitched?

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?

Leah: Yeah...

[fundiesimsfamily]

The pastors son

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

Titus: Ofcourse sir.

[fundiesimsfamily]

BBQ

The woman meet reguarly at their womansnight but the men of the church meet to. Not as reguarly, not with all of them. But everybody is welcome at the Freeman's for BBQ once in a while. Even in the winter.

While Kylian is grilling some hamburgers, the man at the table chad already.

Bob: You won't believe what Eliza did today. Or better, didn't do today

Hugo: Well, I don't know what Eliza didn't do, but I sure know what Gaby didn't do. I get home from a long day of work and she hadn't doing anything!

Bob: Eliza blamed it all on the baby.

Hugo: hahaha, Gaby blamed it all on the pregnancy.

Bob: They will cry like baby's themselfs if they have to do our jobs

Hugo: Yeah, even if it's just for one day!

Joshua: It's really sad both your wifes are like this. My wife never complaines and takes always care of the childeren. She is my rock in life. How about your wife, Timothy?

Timothy: Well, we just had a second baby. Everything went fine but I'm happier when she takes it slow for a while so I help her out sometimes. She has had a hard time with her parents leaving.

Joshua: That must be so hard for her. A woman in labor needs her mother.

Timothy: Exactly. I hope Lydia will get to do that one day when Christa or Heather gets a baby.

Kylian: How is, Harvey? I heard something about Leah? Is she really found by the Landgraabs?

Harvey: Yes, they came by with her. I wasn't home, I was with Solomon. Sienna talked to her.

Solomon: She isn't back at home?

Harvey: No, she left to her place after talking to Sienna.

Kylian: How do you feel about that?

Harvey: Not good at all. A woman alone, in a house, far away. I'm still not sleeping very good. But Sienna is very happy.

Solomon: I would be worried too. That Sienna didn't call you to talk Leah out of leaving!

Harvey: I can't believe that either.

Kylian: And is Belle found too?

Harvey: No, that's another problem. We went trew it all with the Rogers but now they have found Leah and not Belle. The Rogers are now very frustrated with us having our daughter 'back' and they don't.

Solomon: Yeah, you don't really have her back. You just know she is still alive.

Harvey: Exactly. Belle is probably somewhere too. The Landgraabs will find her like they found Leah.

Kylian: They are very good at their job, indeed.

[fundiesimsfamily]

The Landgraabs new mission

The Landgraabs their secret mission is out. They outed Howard Maher and have had a bit of trouble going on in church with the role they had. But they are not ready to leave the church just yet. They want to do something more for the community. So they are on a visit to the Rogers.

Nancy: I'm so thankful you two where alright with us on a visit.

Dakota: Ofcourse, you where only doing your job.

Oliver: And I heard you wanted to do something for us.

Geoffrey: That's right. We want to start searching for your missing daughter, Belle.

Dakota: Oh

Nancy: We believe we can find here.

Oliver: Why do you think that?

Geoffrey: Because it's our job to find the ones who are untraceable.

Dakota: Well, she sure is untraceable. The policy didn't find any track to trace them.

Nancy: We want to try, if you are alright with it

Oliver: We are, but you have to check with the Barrows too. They probably want their daughter back home too.

Geoffrey: We will go to them next.

And so they do. Nancy and Geoffrey are at the Barrow's.

Geoffrey: Harvey and Sienna, we have a proposal. We want to try to find your daughter.

Sienna: Oh, please! Yes! Find her!

Harvey: ho, ho, why do you want to do that?

Nancy: We feel bad because we where secret agents entering the church for a mission. We want to do something for you all.

Harvey: Hmmm.. I have to think about it.

Geoffrey: Give us a change, Harvey. It can't hurt. The police haven't found her yet and while we can't garanty that we will find Leah, it's worth a try, isn't it.

Sienna: I totally agree, it can't hurt.

Harvey: Hmm, and what will you do when you find her?

Geoffrey: We will bring her back to you.

Nancy: We only want to help, Harvey. That's all. No secret mission.

Harvey: Have you talked to the Rogers already?

Geoffrey: Yes, and they are alright with it if we would also give you the same proposal.

Sienna: That's so sweet of them.

Nancy: So, Harvey, what do you say? Can we start looking?

Harvey: Hmm

Sienna: Please, Harvey, let them look

Harvey: Alright, but I want updates every week!

Geoffrey: we will share reguarly updates with all of you.

[fundiesimsfamily]
