Now Galina already has two grandchildren. In 2006, she remarried, and the couple moved to Magadan.
From childhood, Galina wanted to learn more about God, but in the atheistic Soviet Union she did not succeed. Later, when more churches began to appear in the country, she began to visit various temples. However, she did not manage to get answers to questions about the Creator. In 2009, the woman began studying the Bible with Jehovah's Witnesses. According to her, this not only satisfied her needs for spiritual information, but also helped to save the marriage, which was on the verge of collapse.
