March Madness

Oregon Home Girls, Military Ball 2009

Well, March has proved itself to be a busy time here at Moosehart. The Senior activities on campus have started up, our girls just had Military Ball last weekend, girls track starts today which Randy is coaching, Spring Break picks up next week, Prom is a month away and graduation will be here before we know it in May. We are so happy the Lord appears to be blessing us with Spring weather. This time last year Randy & I were being chased out of Mooseheart by a snow storm, so needless to say we are so happy Spring is here. Bellow are some pictures of our girls from Military Ball last weekend. This Ball counts towards their grade in JROTC. We were honored to see one of our freshman crowned Barroness for her effort displayed this year in the JROTC program.

As some of you know we have been taking our girls off campus for Church once a month to Trinity Church in Naperville. Randy & I have been blessed to become friends with Trinity's Youth Pastor and his wife, Matt & Cara. They are also expecting, due a couple months after us with their third child. This Church has taken great interest in not only our Oregon Home girls but of all youth here at Mooseheart. Matt & his wife Cara are the one's who put together a New Year's Eve party here on campus with our kids and their youth group kids.

They have just recently announced to us that along with the help of another carring memeber in their church, Sally Trinity's youth group girls have raised money to take our girls rock climbing at an indoor facility this weekend. We are so excited as well as our girls. We praise the Lord for this outside interest, care, love and support for our ministry here at Mooseheart. If you would pray with Randy & I that this activity allows for an oppurtnity for our girls to connect with these youth group girls.

We also have a spiritual update on our girls to share with you all and ask prayer for. After visiting Trinity Church this past Sunday and witnessing a baptism a couple of our girls voiced interest in being baptised. As you can imagine this excited Randy & I as we see a clear opening to see where these girls are exactly, in a spiritual sense. Pray that these two girls will continue to open up to us and learn more about the Lords love and grace through us and Trinity Church.

Blessings from the Riggs + baby
