It is a farm land so they have lots of ducks and geese and many more animals there. I also have a friend named, Vitya who lives there, he is the pastor&#8217;s son.<\/p>\n<p>They have a small church of about 20 people and they also have a Sunday school for children in the church. The Sunday school in Makarovo was better than I expected. Before they didn&#8217;t even have Sunday school at all! After the church service we went to Vitya&#8217;s house. I showed him my dad&#8217;s iPad and he loved it! Vitya also showed me the farm animals and their birds.
