THANK YOU EVERYBODY!!!

 I got 8 letters from everybody yesterday. I am officially the popular one on our floor for a day. I ran around the dorm like a maniac then opened all the letters yesterday. Thank you all for wishing me a happy birthday I really appreciate it. So I leave Tuesday August 2 for England. WOOHOOO I can't wait its gonna be so exciting. I don't know my address till I get there but I'll keep you guys posted on that when I get there. I really really really appreciate the mail and the emails. They are more valuble than anything I could possibly ask for. I wait for my district leader at my Flatroom door and when he says I got mail I'm soo happy. Yesterday he had the biggest smile on his face when he said 8 letters. I was soo happy. Please everybody send my a hello or a picture of you and me. that way I have some addresses to talk to you by. LUIS I NEED YOUR ADDRESS its Crucial, I wrote you a letter on the twentieth and I haven't had your address to send it to you. Its so awesome here at the MTC I have really got the opportunity to learn so much here and I love it. I cant wait to leave though.

Call Family: I love you all soo much thank you for the update and the laughter. BRYCE you RULE now don't stop. Try and find a teacher somewhere. IN march Jacob Noel gets back from the Mission find him on facebook and ask him for lessons. Tyler Milanos is a good idea they dont give you as much time as I gave you so don't slack off. You gotta want to be good.

NA!!! tell me when your call will get here so I can know when you're meeting up with me in london hahahaha.

Hope the suburban is alright ol Boulder doesn't need to become ol yeller.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NEWT!

Today is Newt's 20th birthday. They won't be able to hand him any letters today written via dearelder.com but he would get it tomorrow (instead of having to wait for his P-day which is Wednesday) so go to
dearelder.com and click on "write a letter" and then click the drop down arrow in the "letter section" and scroll up to Provo MTC (do not select London as he is not located there yet)  His MTC box# is 217. Newt would love to receive a physical piece of mail this way so that he will have more time to respond to people on his P-day instead of reading all the emails and then responding.

1st Letter Home

HEY SIS!

I miss you guys too things are going so awesome here in the Mtc

I came a day late from everyone else and today is the first P-day

It is so awesome here I miss you all but Im not homesick at all. Im too busy to be homesick.

We have about 30 minutes of free time in our 14 hour days. We are in the same classroom for 6 hours a day and its hard to stay awake. But things are going pretty good im just working hard and doing everything I have to do. I'm studying about 4 or 5 hours each day and Im enjoying all the great things that I get out of this awesome study. Me and Elder armstrong are doing pretty good companion wise. But we are really different, we have the same motives and interests like music but we are extremely different besides that. So it can be pretty hard sometimes but I dont mind too much. The elders in my district are going to Wellington New Zealand which is awesome. Then we have another group going to south dakota they're pretty awesome. I'm the only Englander in the zone which is cool but kinda odd. Our district of guys is tight. We all do everything together and we get some good laughs. Like Elder Bleazard. (Elder Blastoise) he is a kick in the pants we played a game ,waiting to get into the auditorium last night, we call it the look and away game.Four of us will stare at a random elder till he sees us then we look away awkwardly then simultaneously look back again. Its pretty fun but anything is fun when you are in a room all day. It is such a great experience here I am soo happy that I got here. When I got on the plane I was scared to death of what was in store for me. I talked to a guy on the plane and he was from queen creek which was really cool and he said he looked up to those who went on missions. (even though he isnt LDS) He thought of it as a right of passage to becomeing a good man. I appreciated talking to him and it was so awesome to talk to someone who was not in the church and to see their opinon of us missionaries. My First day was insane! Since I was a day late I had to catch up with everything else that everyone did the day before. I didn't eat till 5 o clock that night and the food was awesome. This week feels so wierd, time is all mixed up here cause a day feels like 2 and 3 days feels like 1 and a week feels like a day. So strange but Im doing really good, Don't send me food I've already gained 10 pounds and Im trying to eat healthy and work out in the mornings. But make sure that Josie posts my info on Facebook I really want mail and emails. Also If you go to Dearelder.com you can email a message and the MTC Prints it out and I get it in paper that day so one way or another I would love to hear from everybody and I need some family pictures to have that I can post on my study wall. Friends Pictures too to everybody who has pictures please send them I want to show everybody my awesome family and friends. Well I gotta email mom a bit and I only got 13 minutes left.

LOVE YOU ALL and give Riley Bear a hug for me, and tell cooper to get that corn outta my face.

-Misty

I am so excited for my buddy! He only has two days left and he'll be on his way to London England! We're going to miss the ole chapp! And I mean really MISS him!
 We're crazy busy with last minute details....some of which include...
Newt has one more immunization shot tomorrow (Wed) and he should be good to go.
Packing bags to make sure his suit cases are big enough.
A few last minute items to pick up at the store
Need to see and say good by to Grandma & Papa Casto
Say good bye to a couple of friends.
Minor detail - waiting for his "Visa" - should be here today. "Yikes"
And hoping our car will pass emmissions so we can get everything done.
Life is good! And I am so grateful Newt is going to be serving his Father in Heaven for the next two years!
He'll make a Great Missionary! He has so much love and enthusiasm for mankind and the Gospel of Jesus Christ, that I know he'll do a Great Job!
Love you so much Buddy!
