The First Day

Today I did a lot of driving. I traveled about 40 or 50 miles south and saw where the church was and went to Toccoa to look around. I met Brother Randall there at the church and he told me that there were many youth in the ward, and that the meeting in the morning was at ten o'clock. I shook his hand and thanked him, and told him I'd see him tomorrow.

I went to the school and met with the counselor with whom I had been getting my school affairs in order. I found her and introduced myself, and she showed me into her office, I gave her the papers that she had asked me to bring her, and she asked how all this came about. I told her that I had thought it up, written my Grandfather a letter, and presented a ten slide power point presentation to my parents, and I was here now. She was impressed, and put together a rough list of my new classes and sent me along my way.

I went to the YMCA in Toccoa (which is in the middle of nowhere, like many places around here) and worked out for about an hour and headed back home.

I also went to Clayton to look around and go to the national forestry office to get information on mountain biking trails in and around the area. I got a map and two pamphlets and went home.
