Hello! How are things going back home? How is planning for the wedding
going? So the the heading is a quote from Elder Bos, the senior couple
here in Stuttgart Military ward. We were going to the Schloss
Lichtenstein today, and it was kinda cloudy where we live, but by the
time we got the castle, it was snowing and super thick fog, and Elder
Bos continued to remind his wife that she promised him spring a week
or so ago haha! But it was a lot of fun being up there in the snow,
even if the castle was closed for the day... It was a pretty cool
place. You should look it up and see the pictures! I will send you
some over iCloud.

Now as you asked last week... Transfer came. I will be leaving
Stuttgart, after 7 amazing months, and I will be heading down south to
the city of BERN, SWITZERLAND!! I am going to the SCHWEIZ!!! Wahoo!!!!
I will be right next to the Temple too!! It's only like 30 mins away!
I am super excited. It is the first time in like 5 years that
Americans have been allowed to be missionaries in Switzerland so it is
a big change. And we are only allowed to stay 90 days there... And
that is exactly how many days I have left too. So I will barely make
it until the end! I now have to learn a new language... Swiss
German... But I am super sad to be leaving all the people in
Stuttgart. I have really come to love this ward! Especially the jungs
here. The guys who are about to go on their missions! They really feel
like some of my best friends! I love those guys so much, and it stinks
to have to leave them, but we already planned a sport night when I
come back in June haha! I am very grateful for my 7 months here in
Stuttgart, words cannot describe how I feel about this place, and
especially the people I have come to know. They will forever have a
place in my heart! I am also very sad to be leaving one of my best
friends Elder Rahlf. He truly is a great guy! We have had such an
amazing time together these last four months. We will be friends til
the end! But ya it was a great week! 
Love you mom!!!

Dear family,

 Things are starting to get warmer over here. I wore shorts and a longsleeve shirt today! crazy huh?? We played some more handball today thats why! I hope you are having a good time back home!!!!! I am super excited for you guys as ward missionaries! I will be your third wheel with everything when I get home okay?? Missionary work must go on when I get home. It is kinda like what Elder Bednar says about the spirit. The best way to always have the spirit is to never lose him! Same thing with missionary work, if I never lose the drive to do it, then I will always be doing the work!! I will let you know haha! I am 95% sure that I will be getting transferred... we find out this week on friday, and then the following thursday I will be in my new area. I HOPE ITS LANDSHUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but we will see what happens right? But ya life is good I love being here and these next few months are going to go by way too fast I know it, but I will work hard and finish like my days here never will!!!! Love you and I am so grateful for all you do for me!

Love,

Elder Killpack

Dear mom,

What a week! We were able to experience two miracles!! First, we have
been a man from China, Jim. He was making amazing progress, and is so
receptive to the spirit. He was rock solid and accepted and prayed
about everything we taught him. But for the last month we lost contact
with him. He wouldn't answer his phone when we called and wouldn't
reply to txt... It was super lame, but then I called him on my phone
this last week, because he didn't have my number saved, and we got a
hold of him!! He told us that the commandments were just too hard to
follow, and that he didn't think he could do it... So we told him,
that of,course it was hard, especially when you have only known about
them for a month haha! So,we decided to take things easy with him. We
were able to get him to meet up with us and we played basketball
together. Then we talked about our families and we showed each other
pictures of our hometowns! He really enjoyed the time we spent hanging
out. I think it was really good for him to see us just being there as
his friend, not just missionaries. We will start teaching him again
soon! Pray for Jim to be strong in his faith, and stay true to the
answers he has received! Then Elder Hunt came into town for Austausch!
It was really fun to be able to work with Elder Hunt again! He is a
great guy. But when we were together we were trying to get a hold of
Bruder Heuer, because his phone no longer works, which means we have
to go to his house and call for his name, it's kinda complicated
because of where he lives... But anyhow, we went and Bruder Heuer
wasn't home, so we went back to the Ausstellung on KÖNIGSTRASSE and
within 2 mins Bruder Heuer was there! What a miracle! We were then
able to meet with him, and teach him, he has forgotten basically all
doctrine we have taught him, but he remembers the spirit he felt when
he met with us! So we are going to just start building from there
again! He is super excited to be back in church again. He is such a
good guy, I just hope his brain tumor gets better! Love you so much
and I am grateful for all you have done for me! And that will work out
with the 12th of June being my homecoming no worries! I am just glad I
will be there for the wedding! Love you guys! Have a great week!!
