David Archuleta (Mormon) Announces Desire to Serve Mission for The Church of Jesus Christ
In a compelling moment in his December 19th Christmas concert in Salt Lake CIty, a la David’s style of authentic, heartfelt out-reaching to an audience he loves, Archuleta moved from expressing gratitude and joy at singing music he loves before a home audience to his announcement to serve a full time mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (inadvertently called by the media, “The Mormon Church”). David Archuleta, the second runner-up in the American Idol television competition, will take two years off from his singing career, to serve Jesus Christ full-time as an ambassador, wherever he is called.
David Archuleta is choosing to serve a mission (see Mormon Missionary, Missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), he says, not because someone told him to, but because he felt it was the right next step in his life. He indicated that through the challenges he’s overcome and the amazing experiences he’s had, he has learned to listen to that inner voice that guides him, and to answer when it calls. Before finishing his announcement, a thrilled crowd applauded and rose to their feet in cheers and exclamations.

Living out a great season of my life, thanks to Jesus Christ, and two wonderful daughters, a great life's work. Loving this opportunity to share faith online...
I'm a single Mom, convert to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, second-gen Italian, from the East coast originally. Love the fine arts, dance, frozen yogurt, temples, scriptures, writing, jazz, helping others reach their potential, king salmon, ....and not in that order. God is good. I feel it deeply when people have a misconception of Heavenly Father or Jesus Christ, His Son, that lessens or cheapens Them and blinds one's ability to feel His presence or to trust in an ultimately good eternal end to life's circumstances.
