19 Kids and Counting family the Duggars are getting ready to celebrate another milestone in their lives. After Jill giving birth to little Israel David and Jessa getting married to Ben Seewald, now the TLC reality stars announced Josiah Duggar has started courting!

According to People magazine, Josiah has made it official with Marjorie Jackson, a 17-year-old girl whom he met taking Spanish lessons from her mother, Analucia. They even began to court on April 6, which is the same day his nephew Israel was born.

"It's been going very well," the 18-year old Duggar told People. "I met Marjorie a few years ago, when I was taking Spanish lessons at her house, and I was very impressed with the way she was with her siblings and her love for the Lord."

"I met him at Spanish class a few years back," Marjorie recalled. "For me it was an immediate thing. I have always admired him and his family."

Sparks flew between the Christian pair on a recent mission trip to El Salvador. That is when Josiah knew he wanted to court Marjorie.

"She really caught my eye," he told the mag. "That is really where I noticed her."
