John-Carl and Marissa Quick are from the USA. They have eight children. The oldest, a daughter, is 15 years old, the youngest, a son, is less than a year old. The husband and wife previously served in the US Army. They met there and got married remotely—at the time of the marriage registration, John-Karl was in Iraq. At the same time, the family accepted Catholicism, but over time they became disillusioned with it: the words of the Pope and the priests were at odds with real life. It was then that Quick turned their attention to Orthodoxy. They began to study it and attend the local Orthodox church. Over time, they realized that in the USA it was impossible to live, raise and raise children in the Christian tradition. Then the family decided to move to Russia.
