Congratulations Sweetie, we love you!!

And now in this corner.........

So Karl was driving home (to Henderson) from a job interview in Las Vegas and the local Sports Radio (KWWN: ESPN Radio in Las Vegas) decided to have a contest for an announcer (they needed someone to announce the weigh-ins on at the Boxing Championships Friday night); so, Karl went down and auditioned and the listeners picked the winner......which would be KARL!!! Yes, it is true! Karl is announcing the weigh-ins on Friday Night at the MGM for the World Championship Unification Bout. He also won tickets to the Title Match on Saturday, dinner at the MGM, an autographed (Ricky Hatton and Paulie Malignaggi) boxing glove and $20 bucks! Oscar De La Hoya will also be there too. We are so excited for him. Good Luck babe, I'm not a big boxing fan; but, I am a HUGH Karl FAN!!!

Karl is married to Jan, Bill and Dee's youngest child.

Allysa and Karl

Here is the latest picture of Allysa (Wendy's Daughter) and her Husband Karl. Allysa was 32 weeks along in this picture. She is about 35 weeks along right now. Its hard to believe that they only have about two weeks left before they think the girls will be here! They are very excited and are working hard to be ready :) We are so happy for them!! We will keep you posted about the impending births......Also, I added the link for Karl and Allysa's Website on this page.

Elder Linde-Sierra Leone, Africa Mission

Elder Linde in Africa

Elder Linde (Quinn) sent more letters and pictures from Africa. He writes:

Well first and foremost thank you so much for the effort you have put in to make me happy. I will be anxiously awaiting my package. I cant wait. Its always nice to know somewhere in the world you still have people who really love you. I am doing really good. Just taking it easy and relaxing, but working hard too. We will be planning a lot of baptisms for December so we will see what happens with it.

THE NEXT LETTER:

I RECEIVED MY PACKAGE today.....I AM SO HAPPY YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. It is great mom. I cant believe you put cookies inside there. I think I have died and gone to heaven hahaha. Tell grandma that I am very thankful for all the effort she has given me. Again I am so thankful for you and for all the effort you have put in for me this Christmas. Know how much I love you and care for you. I know one thing, my family is the best in the whole world. I think about you all the time. Only ten more months left for me. I pray you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, because we are going to be spoiled out here in Liberia. The Wire’s and the Mauldin’s are really going to give us AMERICANS a feast, mashed potatoes and the whole nine yards. Thanks again.
