This weekend, the Duggar clan (including Josh and Anna, Jessa and Ben, and Jill and Derick) gathered in Knoxville, Tennessee, to watch Michael Bates tie the knot with Brandon Keilen. Jana, who is just 11 days older than Michael, was a bridesmaid.
Many of the Duggars are still in Knoxville fellowshipping with Gil and Kelly Bates and their 19 kids, as well as with other families who traveled to Tennessee for the wedding.
Jill and Derick Dillard, with four-month-old Israel Dillard in tow, flew in from Central America late last week and met up with Michelle Duggar and Jessa and Ben Seewald in New York City to take care of a few business matters. They then made their way to Knoxville, where they met up with the rest of the Duggar family.
The Dillards headed back to Central America yesterday afternoon, along with Joy-Anna Duggar and Carlin Bates, both 17 years old. Last month, the Dillards traveled around the region and worked with various mission teams, but during August, they are focusing on learning Spanish.
