Are they the same as Amish?
They're not quite as repressed as the Amish. They usually have nice cars, cell phones, etc. They're hard working people like the Amish though. They do more before 8am than I do all week. Most of them speak at least two languages. The ones I knew were German so at home they spoke German, around town, English and some of their families settled in Mexico so many spoke Spanish too.

There are a lot of them in the midwest. Kansas, Missouri, Indiana especially. Usually around smaller towns. When I lived in SW Kansas they had bake sales every weekend at the local farmer's market. I actually had a Mennonite lady who would save me a peach pie every other weekend.
