My first week as a flood intern

Tuesday started my first day of work after college graduation. All of the interns met at the Flood Recovery Office to get acquainted with the work we will be doing all summer. We learned some basics about the flood and where we are now in the recovery process. After lunch Melisa sent us on a great scavenger hunt to find places we will be frequenting throughout the summer. This was excellent for me since I'm not from Cedar Rapids and have no idea where any roads are or where they go. I was able to get a basic idea of the layout of the city on our adventures. Amanda and I are the two PR interns for the summer. This week we mostly worked on putting together a video about the disasters that hit Iowa last summer. The video will be showed at the Iowa Annual Conference next Friday. We got our house assignments for our volunteer groups next week on Thursday, so Friday morning I drove by my three houses. It's a good thing I have a GPS because I never would have found one of my houses without it. It was a great first week; I am really looking forward to working with the other interns and the rest of the flood recovery staff all summer. I can't wait to see God work in the city this summer through all of our generous volunteers. Thank you all in advance for your hard work, I look forward to meeting you and working with you.
