Karl here,..

Howdy friends and family! I apologize for not saying hello to all of you. Jennifer and Lexie have done a great job of speaking for me though. I just wanted to tell all of you how much I appreciate you. Your prayers, e-mails, and texts have meant more to me than you will ever know. I hope I am as good a friend to you as you are to me. I have sat in bed many mornings on this trip, while Karliegh Mei and Mommy are still sleeping, praying and thinking of this whole experience. I find myself overwhelmed with gratitude. I am in awe that God has blessed me with such a wonderful wife, children, new child, and friends and family. Thank you for being part of our lives.

God bless you and I can't wait to see you all.

Karl
