This week we toured the Casa Loma Castle (built in 1911).  Back when President Monson was the mission president the newly arrived missionaries would be met by missionaries from the mission office who drove them to the mission home (a block from this castle).  The new missionaries would be in awe at the structure.  Often, to their surprise, the driver would turn into the property of the castle and say, “Here we are, at the mission home!”  The joke would soon be discovered and they would continue on to the mission home residence.
