Life goes on for the Duggar family after the cancellation of their hit show "19 Kids and Counting." Although their fans won't be able to see them anymore on the TLC network, Jim Bob, Michelle, and the older Duggar children are still very active on social media as they keep their fans updated on their lives.
On Friday, Aug. 7, the family posted a new photo of Jill and Derick's son, 4-month old Israel, on their official Facebook page. In the photo, Israel is smiling for the camera, wearing a white onesie with "4 months" printed on it. And it appears that Jim Bob and Michelle are missing their grandson as they wrote, "So thankful for modern technology that lets us stay in touch with him and his mom and dad while they serve on the mission field."
Jill and Derick are currently on a mission trip in Central America. Last month, the couple shared that the locals have taken a liking to their son and that they have adjusted to their life there as they spread the word of God throughout different parts of Central America. Last week, they shared an update on their family blog, and Jill revealed that ministering can be somewhat dangerous as their work sometimes takes them to places where gang violence is prevalent. This month, Jill and Derick will be focusing on learning Spanish so they can be more effective as they share the Gospel during their long-term mission.
Meanwhile, other members of the family will be traveling to Indianapolis, Indiana to speak at the COMMIT Mother/ Daughter Conference. According to the Duggar Family Blog, Michelle, Jinger, and Jana will be at the Verity University to speak to young ladies and their moms at the event, which will be held from Aug. 19 to 22. According to CommitConferences.com, Jinger and Jana will "share from their hearts about their relationship as sisters in a family of 19 children, the importance of communication and openness with their parents, and the most important relationship of all — their relationship with Jesus."
More information about the COMMIT Mother/ Daughter Conference and registration details are available at the CommitConferences.com website.
