'19 Kids and Counting' Duggar family updates: El Salvador trip, Jill' baby bump and Christmas card

The Duggar family of "19 Kids and Counting" seemed to have enjoyed their recent missionary trip and their photos are proof. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar along with their brood trudged and played in a beautiful beach in El Salvador.

"We finished our amazing trip to El Salvador with a stop at the beach. We are home...a little tired but full of such joy," the Duggars shared on their Facebook page. "Trips like these are such a reminder of the many things we enjoy—even small things we take for granted but most of all it is a reminder of the deep joy it is to give and love and serve others. Loving and serving your fellow man puts your heart in sync with your Creator's in that moment. More about the trip later!"

One photo showed the heads of the family all smiles in a selfie with their kid, Jinger. The other showed an adorable photo of happily married couple Derrick Dillard and Jill Duggar, who has people's eyes go straight to her growing baby bump.

There are also photos showing picturesque views of the sky, the sunset and the mountains from the beach and E Online adds that the family met up with the people in the jungle while they were there. "We've had an amazing time in El Salvador. The lives we've met are precious in every way. It has been a joy to share a few amenities and relief items with these families and to share with them the love of Jesus," the Duggars said.

Just recently, the whole family posed in front of a snowy backdrop for a Christmas card, where the family wished Jesus a "Happy birthday" while they send the message about Christ being the center of the occasion. Next to a bible passage was the big family, including grandkids and in-laws, beaming radiant smiles.
