The work is what's most important I will be here for Lao Chin Hao's
baptism! He is getting baptized the week of my birthday! How cool! He
is so amazing. He txted us Sunday morning saying, that he had played
video games through the entire night, so he wouldn't come to church
because he was so tired. But we helped him out to convince himself
that he could do it! And then he made it to church even though he was
dead tired!! He is so amazing!!! I love that guy!!

Love you,
Elder Killpack

Family and Friends, 

What a week! We went to Taco Bell last week again with the Bos's! It
was yummy. I learned a lot from Elder Bos about schooling, and how to
go through school, amd what might be good options. I love learning
from the Ehepaars here in the Mission.

Tuesday was good. We tausched with the Elders in Esslingen, which
means, Elder McDaniel for me! We had a good time! Found a cool guy
from the Philippines named Roy. He was way sweet! We doored quite a
few houses, and met some nice people, hopefully they will see some
success through that!!

Wednesday we were at Esslingens District Meeting. It was a good time.
That district is doing great things! In fact Tübingen Elders just had
a baptism this last week, which is like the 10th one in the last year
for that branch!! Things are going great down there!! I am proud of
those guys! We also taught Jim ( Lao Chin Hao). He is for sire getting
baptized. The only question is if I will be there for it... But that
doesnt matter so much, because he is doing the best possible thing he
can do for himself at this time!! Man, I love Jim!! He is so amazing!

Thursday, we rode a bus to Munich for MLC, and watched a talk from
Elder Ballard. We need to use the time in our life/mission, not kill
it. Then I was able to meet up with my old buddies, Elder Bates from
Pforzheim, Elder Hadfield from Passau, and Elder Hunt from stuttgart!
Oh it was great!! We also ate some Hans im Glück and it was tasty!

Friday MLC. It was a good one. A lot of frustration, because we are
trying to change the culture of the mission, and there are just some
things that I just dont understand why missionaries do them, or talk
back to president about some rules.. Ah just makes me so sad in the
end to see missionaries we have worked 20ish years to be here, just to
kill time for two years... I also had to talk at MLC and that was
intense... Ha! It was a good time! Then Tausch with Elder Albrecht
started in Munich. He was kinda sick the whole tome, but we were still
able to make it to a part member family appointment at night time.
They were so cool the son is getting baptized this Coming Saturday!

Saturday was the end of our tausch. I learned a lot from Elder
Albrecht. He is a way good guy! We had a good time together, and cant
wait until simmer when we will go golfing together ha! He is a stud.
Then we rode the train home.

Sunday was funny ha. We had three investigators make it to church, but
it was funny how it happened. So we now have church at 13:00 and so
church starts and none of them are there... Jim shows up 5 mins late,
then Felix 15 mins after that, and then another 15 mins later Dogbo
shows up! It was funny because there was no room in the inn, and so we
could spread them out in the chapel, so then ended up just sitting all
together ha! Then we had dinner with the Bos's it was great!

Love you all,
Elder Killpack

Dear Family, 

I had a great time Skyping you guys!! It was so weird to see all the
grown up kiddos!!! My nephews and niece are the best ones!! I am glad
Elder Kingsbury is out here!! I will have to get his email so I can
write him! He is a great guy. 
So I will give you a quick but powerful update on Lao Chin Hao! He is
golden and going to get baptized! He understands everything we teach
him, and he remembers it all! He bore his testimony to us last
Saturday about how he knows the BOM is true! And that Joseph Smith is
a Prophet! And that this is the only true church! He wants to get
baptized, he just needs to hear all the commandments now!

Crazy stuff! Thanks for everything you did this Christmas season! Not
only for me, but for the whole family! I am so grateful for you in my
life!

Love,
Elder Killpack

HELLO!!!!!!!!

We had a fun week here in Stuttgart. Last week we were in Esslingen and had a lot of fun. We went to their Christmas Markt, and it was amazing! You told me in a letter that you bet Germany is a dreamland during Christmas... That was an understatement! I love it here! It truly is magical! Work wise was a little harder this week... And it was mostly our faults! We were calling as many people as we should have been. We were just scattered brained the whole week with transfers, chirstmas stuff, sport abend, and the list goes on, but we didnt call everyone we needed to in order to meet with everyone! But we will do better this week! I have gotten into the christmas spirit this last week pretty hard, especially on the German side. I decided to change my gift idea... Instead of getting every sibling, and Madi something I got you and dad something... It was a little more pricey than what I had planned, but I couldnt resist!!!!!!!!!!! I will just say it is a classic german christmas item:) I really hope you like it and that it gets to you guys soon! I still have to send it! Oh and that reminds me! Bruder Klemm from Landshut sent me a package with German christmas sweets! It was great!!!!!! Well I love you so much!!! Have a great week!!!!!!!!

Love,
