Joseph: Nashville's Tribute to the Prophet

On Saturday, March 21st, our Stake was given the opportunity to attend the 'Joseph' concert in Cedar City. It was too bad that it was also the night of our Jr. Prom here... but Lexie, Mariah, and I went to the concert. Talk about an 'awesome' experience! This group also wrote and recorded 'Trek' A Nashville Tribute to the Pioneers. The music was great, and you could really feel the spirit there. Jason Deere, who wrote nearly all of the songs, plays guitar, and sings...had to be inspired to write such a great tribute to Joseph Smith! Dan Truman, from Diamond Rio, put the group together. He plays piano and sings in the band. The trio 'Due West', also play and sing with the group. They had the girl who portrays Emma Smith, in the movie 'Emma', with them to sing a couple of songs. When she sang the song 'Emma' it gave us cold chills. Lexie & I both bought the CD afterwards. We had a great time! We are learning about our newest value, Virtue, in Young Women's this month. Lexie & I both think that Emma Smith was truly a virtuous woman...and we watched the movie 'Emma' for YW last night. It was really good, but grab a kleenex before you watch it!
