Carl is our last child to make the important choice to be baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Here, he is with his father, Blaine Carl Ripplinger, in the baptismal font at the Driggs, Idaho Stake Center on Saturday, January 28, 2012.
Here is a picture of Carl, the day of his baptism, standing in front of a map we have in our office. It has little picture of places one of our family members has been in the world. Our ward Primary Leaders gave Carl a future missionary badge, you can kind of see it on the right side of his suit coat. Here, he dreams about where he might be called on a mission someday.
Blaine and Carl in front of a beautiful painting of the Idaho Falls temple, that hangs on the wall of our Relief Society Room, where the baptismal font is connected.
Our family: Heather, just before her mission, Blaine, Nikki, Derek, a Senior in high school, Nikole, an eighth grader at Teton Middle School, and Carl, 8 in second grade, and Elizabeth, 11 in sixth grade at Teton Middle School, in front. Grandpa and Grandma Ripplinger, Grandpa and Grandma White, Christian and Jennifer and their family - Caden, Jace and Maecie were our other family members that were there. Brother Matt Berry conducted. Sister Hollie Kunz of the Primary, gave Carl a hymn book. Carl was excited to get his own set of scriptures from his family.
