Transcripts
okay hello we have little microphones
today so this is kind of fun it's like
we're on a little podcast together this
is our first time ever filming with
these little microphones that we just
got I feel like a little more
professional we are the least
professional YouTubers on the face of
the planet via we haven't posted in two
plus months um we have four children yes
and possibly more coming so uh life is
just very busy at the moment uh we
actually have Sunday back here she's
watching
um so we can film this yes and the other
kids are out there just because we don't
have a nanny so yeah for 30 minutes our
kids get to watch a show yeah so a lot
people are like when are you guys
posting on the little Brandt family
again are we you know and it's just like
when we canh um and we have full
intentions to and then before we know it
a month goes by it's kind of nice
because then we can just give like giant
updates on life it's funny makes a
little more sense it does and it's funny
because I remember like 6 months ago we
said like after moving here we're like
let's just just try and do like monthly
Vlogs yeah and I'm to think like man
like one Vlog a month that's so easy
like yeah and people are going to miss
out so much and then like a month goes
by so my gosh it's been two months so
yes we love you guys um we've even been
contemplating like
changing this channel as a whole just
cuz obviously we aren't like doing more
like couple things like marriage stuff
yeah we aren't vlogging a ton just with
four kids the kids are very busy and
part of moving to Tennessee was shifting
a lot of things and priorities in our
life so we might kind of shift this back
into like a Col and Sav kind of yeah let
us know what you guys think about that
because that might be what we do yeah
not that we won't like show the kids or
like have them you know yeah whatever oh
bless you sunde bless you sunde but uh
it's definitely a lot less
family oriented I mean our families are
everything but you guys kind of I think
know what we're talking about so just
less Vlog styled essentially yeah but we
have had some pretty big life updates
that we are very excited to share with
you guys um number one Everly got
baptized yeah that was huge yeah this
was what three weeks ago yeah so we were
at church and um all of a sudden the
pastor's wife comes up and she goes so
is this true I really wants to be
baptized and I was
like what and I like looked at Everly
and Everly had filled out a little form
that day in church and handed it like in
so cute she didn't even tell us and like
looks at me and smiles all big and was
just like so so excited that was
probably what like a month and a half
ago or so yeah that was like a month and
a half ago so I was like I guess so I'm
like so so Everly and Cole actually had
a really big conversation about it a few
days before she got baptized you know
just explaining it all making sure she
really wants to do it cuz it's a big
deal we want her to be the one who does
it and she totally was yeah um well
because like in our house we talk about
God often it's like a very normal and
casual and candid conversation and um
you know we try to make him the center
of everything and and we pray before
meal and we have weekly Bible studies
with the kids but um our belief is that
we never want to like pressure our kids
into something that we believe is the
biggest decision decision of their life
especially because she's not even 11 yet
so yeah it was one of those things that
actually came to us it felt very sincere
cuz it wasn't something that we were
kind of like hey have you been thinking
about getting baptized or like you know
around this ages whenever you know
whatever it was really sincere that it
was her and so as she came to us um yeah
she and I had a great conversation on
just what it meant to give your life to
Jesus and uh be baptized and uh so we're
super super proud of her yeah and it was
it was cool cuz I got to baptize and my
my buddy he's like one of my best
friends is the pastor of our church so
it was really it was actually the
church's very first ever baptism um yeah
so it was just a very very special
moment I actually forgot I messed it up
I forgot to say in the name of the
Father the Son and the Holy Spirit
because because you were just so cute
and you were crying and it was big
emotional moment so he just forgot yeah
I posted on my Instagram and obviously
I'm kind of nervous but but mainly just
like as started getting closer Che like
the
baptism I couldn't even really open my
mouth like crying yeah like I knew it
was going to be an emotional thing but I
didn't it was just it it was a lot as a
dad so yeah so I've never done this
before this is my first ever uh time
baptizing somebody so hopefully I get it
right but um every came to my wife and I
a couple Sundays ago telling us that she
wanted to give her life to Jesus which
is um the best thing app parent yeah
here so we went home and we had a
conversation just making sure that she
really understood the severity of what
she's doing but also the importance and
um it sounds like she truly wants to
give her life to Jesus today in everyday
moving forward so um as a dad I could be
more proud and
[Music]
uh I'm going to try my best to do this
without crying so you can cry it's all
right
[Applause]
I don't I don't really have the Pastor
words to say
um I'm very proud of you and
uh it's okay all right do you want to
give your life to Jesus today and
everyday moving forward yeah all right
amen
[Music]
do
[Music]
oh someone's coming
in hey hey guys hey you guys got to go
back to your show cake cuz we're we're
filming pick your cakes first us I love
you love you
baby love you
buddy doesn't matter of time before that
happened yeah um but but yeah big big
special moment special moment this I do
believe that you should baptize in the
name of the Father the Son and the Holy
Spirit and so whenever we got home we um
got a little bit of water and kind of
put put on her for name of the father
Son and Holy Spirit and she she's in the
clear now um Savannah went to
ugand so so you went to Uganda I did go
to Uganda yeah ready all right okay
sorry okay so you went to Uganda why I
went to Uganda so I think that we said
in like a pre the most previous video or
maybe two videos ago that we had went to
an event for a nonprofit and it put you
know the fire in me to adopt m M so that
same event it was for a nonprofit called
love
one and that's essentially who I went
with was the owners of love one um and
for those that don't know love one is an
organization that um takes in
malnourished kids so kids whose moms or
whoever is taking care of them um the
kids are malnourished and they get
dropped off and these babies are so so
malnourished like the their wrists are
like this big their legs are this big
just like the saddest thing cuz we got
to see for a few days um the moms or
aunts or uncles whoever was coming in to
drop them off we got to see the babies
that were getting dropped off and it was
just the most heartbreaking thing that
you've ever seen um just the fact that
and and not so like like you never judge
them the person taking care of them it
was like they were so upset that they
couldn't feed their baby like they had
didn't have the means for it they didn't
have the breast milk for it because they
weren't getting enough food there's just
like so many things that go into it and
it was just so sad to see so what they
do is they have a center that holds
right now like 45 kids eventually very
soon in a few months it's going to hold
150 kids plus 24 breastfeeding moms
which is awesome because the moms now
get to breastfeed and stay with their
babies but so right now holds 45 kids I
got to go to that Center and I got to
just go love on all the babies which was
so much more for me cuz you know if you
know me you know how much I love babies
so I just got to love on all these
babies and these are the babies that get
brought in so so essentially when they
first get brought in they get taken to
the hospital if it's very severe and
love one takes care of everything there
and then they um get brought to the
center once they're stable so once
they're stable they get brought to the
center and they just get loved on loved
on fed you know they get to learn they
get to play all the things um and
there's just the most amazing staff who
takes care of them all the caretakers
but it really puts everything into
perspective when you see that there's
kids out there who just don't have food
mhm like and we're over here throwing
mac and cheese away you know throwing
six chicken nuggets away cuz our kids
only ate one when I made them seven like
it's just it like really puts it in into
perspective just life in general just
everything MH like I came back with
just and almost like like an anger
whenever you come back right yeah and I
came I did come back a little angry the
girls warned me about we're so selfish
here yeah and and in some cases it's I
don't want to say it's okay but it's
okay if it's like all you know but then
whenever you do know more
um I feel like a lot of times like we're
going to be judged off of what we know
yeah and so now that you know it's like
what are you going to do about it yeah
you know what kind of sacrifices are you
going to make how's your life going to
be different because of what you know
yeah so basically that's kind of the
Season that we're walking through yeah
and I love this is leading the way and
our family and I love that this
organization is Mom ran women ran yeah
it's really cool um they warned me when
I came back that I was going to be a
little less patient just in general with
everything and I totally believed that
because when I when I came back just
like little things like see the birds I
don't have enough cute shirts you know
and you're like you have 10 shirts yeah
you know and I would find myself going
there's kids in Uganda that only have
one shirt and they have to wash it
without a washing
machine just with water and soap outside
hang it up to dry and then wear it again
you know so like it's it's just the
first world things that we get so upset
about here yeah um so it really just it
opened my
eyes it it it it just did so it did so
much more to me than I thought it would
and I knew it was going to be
life-changing and amazing but it just
did so much more to me by far like than
than I did anything for them at all like
I'm I was just a glimpse of like oh
who's this girl and I left but for me it
like changed my world yeah soy no no no
we'll link the nonprofit below if you
want to donate to it you can it's just
going I I've been there and I know it's
going to an amazing cause M so amazing
yeah and saving so many babies lives so
it's really cool and one thing I wanted
to add was after they're done at the
center they then get to go back with
their family which I think is really
cool so it's not an orphanage you know
they're not trying to find families for
them they'll put them back with an ant
if the Mom isn't able to or any
caretaker in the family that can yeah
which I think is awesome and obviously
there's cases there's cases where
adoption is yeah necessary necessary or
an option if they're if nobody's able to
basically so yeah but I found that
really awesome yeah as part of it so if
you want to donate or anything they also
have really cute merch they have cute um
sweat outfits and stuff that obviously
the money all goes to the nonprofit so
we'll I'll link everything below for you
guys so you guys can check it out so
something that I love when when learning
about the um the organization was if
you're not a Christian um this is
something that you should absolutely
support because they are taking care of
um they're taking care of people they're
taking care of kids sick kids uh and
there's nothing in my eyes more
important than that but as somebody and
people who are Christians they go beyond
that and after and during their time of
taking care of these children um they're
teaching them about Jesus so they're not
just taking care of them uh temporarily
but also um eternally because I think
that it's so important that as people of
faith we don't just put a Band-Aid on a
wound and then send them on their way um
but put a bandaid on the wound send them
on the way with their Eternal salvation
uh hopefully and I know that they were
saying like so many of like the workers
and the people who like built the you
know places and construction workers
like that they're on fire for God theyve
all G their Liv to Jesus so it's like uh
and they're just so thankful so thankful
for everything so they're just they're
the best everyone there was I haven't
been but it sounds I want him to go bad
I want to take him and every with me
next time um I want to add one more
thing because I feel like this is kind
of important
too because I said there was only 45
kids that could be in the center don't
think that that's just where all the
money is going to it's also they do
outpatient programs so obviously they
can't take in all of the babies they
take in the worst cases and then they do
outpatient programs to where they go
check on the kids um throughout the week
and they feed give them food they give
the family food to like you know make
sure that the kids are taken care of
even after the center and ones that
couldn't get taken into the center are
being taken care of as well so there's
just so many things that you're where
the money is going to which is amazing
yeah and their ultimate goal is to take
care of every single child in all of
Uganda so it's a crazy big wild dream
that you think is impossible but if
everybody if everybody gets involved
then um who knows it's possible and then
yeah you know Uganda is just one of many
countries um that needs help but if it
breaks God's heart um then it should
break ours
and who knows where to go I think it's
awesome that people are doing something
in any small little piece that we can we
can play um so those are kind of like
the two biggest life updates we do have
some tell them that we're taking the GS
