KIMBERLY: Bizarre rumors about Mormons she heard! 😱
“I’ll tell you a funny thing I heard was that if you were a woman and you tried to leave the church, that they would take you to the top of the Salt Lake Temple and push you into the Salt Lake.”
Hear "THE REST OF THE STORY' 📕IN THIS VIDEO.
HEAR about what ANTI-MORMON beliefs kept her away from learning more about her heritage, and what changed?
***As a child, Kimberly Jo Smith did not know she was related to the first modern-day prophet of a church with millions of members. Kimberly Smith, a descendant of the Prophet Joseph Smith Jr., grew up in Tennessee 🌅 and discovered the path of her family tree as a preteen.

“I grew up without a knowledge of the church or who Joseph was until I was 12 when I went to my grandma’s house 🏡 and I saw some portraits, and it was Joseph and Emma,” Kimberly Smith said. “I was very drawn to those, and I asked my grandma who it was, and she said that was my great-great-grandparents, and (Joseph) had started a church. She was referring to the Church of Christ (Temple Lot), which was a break-off. “ Kimberly Jo Smith and her son Bryan Davis, descendants of Joseph Smith, use music to talk about their family history.

This newfound knowledge instilled within the young girl a yearning to learn more about her ancestors that later led to a greater involvement in genealogy work. The desire to learn more also led Kimberly Smith to an exposure of her father’s anti-Mormon sentiments, but that did not stop her from developing a huge love for the Osmonds.

“That was kind of when I found out what a Mormon was, and I found out (the Osmonds) 🕺 were Mormon,” she said.
Her first reaction to the discovery was that she could no longer like the Osmonds because they were Mormon, but then reason told her, “Donny is in it; if he’s in it, that’s good.”
