The Nashville Tribute Band joined us for Family Home Evening. We had a pot luck dinner as a farewell for the Van Asperens who will be returning to Brisbane because the MOC (Microfilm department) is closing due to the consolidation. They have a daughter, Debbie, who has Downs Syndrome but functions very well. She is in her early 20's. During dinner I was able to talk with Kimberly Smith who is a second great granddaughter of Joseph and Emma and made the trip with the Kennedys and the band along with her son, who was the first descendant of Joseph and Emmma to take out his endowments prior to his mission in the Nauvoo Temple. The band performed for our program and the music and testimonies were touching. I have included a couple of their songs in the blog. I hope you enjoy them.
