Jill Duggar and husband Derick Dillard haven’t posted an update on their oft-discussed mission trip to El Salvador since late December.
That’s led many Duggar observers – already concerned about the couple’s health – to speculate on the whereabouts of the Dillard duo.
First, there was Derick’s changing appearance that sent fans into a frenzy, followed by a controversial photo of an injured Israel Dillard.
Then, there was talk of the Zika virus driving Jill to birth control, and most recently, reports that she and Derick returned to Arkansas.
The Duggars don’t believe in birth control, which put Jill in an interesting position, as the virus has been linked to significant birth defects.
So dangerous is the Zika virus that El Salvador has reportedly recommended that women refrain from getting pregnant until 2018 or later.
No wonder, then, that Jill returned to Arkansas to avoid getting infected and/or to get pregnant – or so we believed earlier this week.
Radio host Danni Starr further heightened these suspicions by revealing that she conducted interviews with various TLC stars last week.
Jill and Jessa Duggar were among those name-checked by Starr, though they were nowhere to be seen in a photo shared on Facebook.
The Duggars pictured were John David, Josiah, and Joseph, while Jessa Duggar’s husband, Ben Seewald, also took part in the interview.
It’s possible, clearly, that Danni meant she was interviewing a few of the stars of Jill & Jessa: Counting On, not Jill and Jessa themselves.
All evidence of the Duggar interview has since been wiped from her Facebook page, though, which has just made fans more suspicious.
Now, Jill has shared a new photo … one apparently designed to make fans believe that she and Derick haven’t left El Salvador after all.
“Israel loves making new friends! More pics and an update coming soon to www.dillardfamily.com,” Jill captioned the Instagram photo.
Even though Jill Duggar’s pic was taken in El Salvador, it’s possible that it’s an older one and they are indeed back in Arkansas.
Jill and Derick will likely answer this question and address the Zika virus at some point, too, but their actions continue to befuddle fans.
