About this episode

The episode discusses a fundraiser for an orphanage in Guatemala and explores the IBLP's connection to Russian orphans.

Instead, we watched Jinger and Jessa (in a totally not staged scene) asking their parents if they could do a fundraiser at a coffee shop for an orphanage in Guatemala. It’s a big day for showing off Jinger’s personality. In the Dig, we look at the IBLP connection to Russian orphans. We all know that a grifter is gonna grift, but learn how Billy G took advantage of turmoil in Russia, to indoctrinate and exploit children both there and here in the States.
