At least this can explain why Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard have managed to live in Central America for this long. Apparently, the couple is still reaching out to their fans to help support them in their missionary work in Guatemala.

According to Jill and Derick's official blog, they've been working hard to help two local boys, Ignacio and Jose Pablo, learn English. The two students even wrote a special blog post on their site to thank Jill and Derick's followers for not only supporting them, but also in helping them strive for a better future.

In the post, Ignacio wrote, "I would love to thank you all for paying for my English classes. I love to learn English and the classes are really fun. I am really gracious for the English classes and I hope to learn more every day. Learning English here will help me a lot in the future. Thank you so much."

Jose Pablo added: "I would like to give you all thanks for paying my english classes. I am really really happy. Thank you so much. Let me tell you, the classes are really fun. I appreciate everything you did. I am really happy and I want to learn more."

The post also added two links for fans to learn more about the Empowering to Serve program and to help give a small donation to the Dillards' ministry.

So far, neither Jill nor Derick have made any comments on whether or not they plan on going home anytime soon.
