While Josh Duggar has been keeping his head down after last year's sex scandals, his wife Anna has been speaking about her ordeal and how she's gotten through it. 

She appeared in the most recent episode of "Counting On", the reality show of Josh's sisters Jessa Seewald and Jill Dillard, where she opened up about one crucial source of support throughout the ordeal.  Anna revealed that Josh's sister Jana has been "such a rock" for her through this difficult season. 

"She will make an amazing wife one day but selfishly, for right now, I'm so thankful that I've had her as a shoulder to cry on," she said.

Josh Duggar has been keeping a low profile ever since he was caught up in a molestation scandal that rumbled straight into another scandal involving his secret accounts with the Ashley Madison cheating website. 

Earlier in the year, Anna shared how her faith had given her the ability to continue loving Josh despite what he had done. 

"Definitely, it drags me deeper to my faith," she said in season 1 of "Counting On". "God's grace can give me the strength to love Josh when others would say that he doesn't deserve it."

Anna showed up in Tuesday night's episode of "Counting On" as she joined forces with Jana to get the family's guest house ready for the return of Jill and husband Derick Dillard, who are taking a break from their missionary work in El Salvador.  

However, the main event of Tuesday's episode was the proposal of 29-year-old Jeremy Vuelo to Jana's younger sister, Jinger on a New York rooftop.  

Jeremy, who described Jinger as a "gift from God", got down on one knee to ask for her hand and place a beautiful diamond ring on her finger.  He revealed he even needed a little help from above as it was raining just moments before.

"Lord, please give us some respite from this rain, and believe it or not, it stopped," he said.
