David Archuleta - LDS Mission announcement// O Holy Night - SLC (MVI_0208.MOV)

[@davedesign818x]

Even though I am not in the Mormon religion... I respect David alot... I'm sure "the deal" was offered to him many times... rite after American Idol... And I'm pretty sure he with the strong soul stood up and sed NO even though it ment not getting as popular as any other idols stars.... he choose what he belived in most over more wealth and prosperty. You have a beautiful voice... Your an inspiration... God bless you.

[@tommywinarta1349]

I used to think that David is just some ordinary teenage boy who's known for his love songs and his charming presence like the common trends nowadays. But this video completely change my judgement, you're so talented and gifted, and you're being grateful of those things, and God is with you. I'm wishing specifically for your career in glorifying God's name, be Jesus with you always David. My prayer will always go to you.

[@Paysonscreamboys19]

A true example of a young man giving up 2 years of millions of dollars and 2 years of his life, so that a family somewhere can live with each other for eternity! Your an inspiration David to all those around you!

[@blisskasden]

No matter what is going on, David always ends with a smile. A true human masterpiece is David Archuleta.

[@silvershots3]

David will be a fine missionary. I wish everyone could understand how big a deal it is to us in the LDS Church when our young people answer the call from the Lord to serve Him somewhere in the world. They emulate the Savior who during His ministry went about doing good. David has long impressed me as one who embodies an extraordinary love. The Gospel IS love. This good young man will do much good over two years, but his mission will in fact be life long. Good for you, David! I'm proud of you!

[@jianalim]

i am not a mormon but i definitely admire him.. his courage his sincerity his faith is all that matters....i respect him and his religion. love his voice.

[@BethanyFung]

David Archuleta is doing the right thing, choosing to put God first, trusting that feeling. I know its a sacrifice not doing music for 2 years, buthe is so admirable. We love you David and really respect you for putting God's interest before yours. We can't wait for you to be back to do music.

[@tvasey]

He is a truly remarkable young man to put his faith in the Lord and give up his remarkable career for two years to share the gospel with others. He will be blessed!

[@dorothywicker8028]

you don't have to be religious to appreciate his wonderful talent and faith. I admire him.

[@anitagorsic82]

God blesss david he is such a sweetheart,polite, respectable,descent humanbeing he is an angel with a stunning voice i wish there were more people like him in the world it would defintely make the world a better place good luck david your fans will be waiting for you your worth the wait . Much Love from Australia

[@gerarddeepak4822]

I can feel the urge to serve Christ through David Archuleta .Its truly the inspiration of the Holy Spirit inspiring David to spread the Gospel.Hats off to you David for choosing to serve Christ despite you being one of the best singers, you've done the correct decision to go on a mission.Let Jesus be Praised through your beautiful singing.Soulful singing, I'm into tears of Joy seeing you perform with tears.God Bless you brother.

[@chickneil20]

one of the best decision you've made david is to bring souls;unto our Father, serve him in His vineyard. .choosing to be part of His servant, and loose your career, this Wokr would be your best concert in your life! im a return missionary., hope you serve here at philippine mission, we love u so much, you have our support bro.david

[@lovecoco14]

Awwwwwwwwwwww. He does care about his fans, he's amazing. And wow his voice is just amazing. When he comes back his true fans ill be there for him

[@cassiemor1]

Thanks so much for this video!! I was at this concert and I will never forget David announcing his mission and singing this song. It was a very moving experience to watch him. He is an amazing human being!! This show was the best concert I have ever been to in my life!

[@KrissyMarieify]

I know that David has long since been home from his mission, but this video touches my heart. David is truly a beautiful soul, and I love him for helping to build up God's kingdom. Now I'm LDS as well, but I will speak my mind, even if it's harsh. I only speak truth. The majority of these comments are heartfelt and a joy to read. The rest of this goes out to the handful of you that can't seem to keep your ignorance in check. Yes. Missionaries will knock on your door. You do not have to listen to them. It's not an obligation on your part. They will not harass you. So please have enough class and human decency to not spit in their faces, or even threaten to. Kindly ask them to leave. I take care of the missionaries in my area all the time. They always know they have a place to go if they are hungry or discouraged. These young missionaries give up two years of their lives to make a difference for others, and often times that difference is for the greater good.

[@KrissyMarieify]

They do go out of their own volition, but that does not mean that they don't get homesick and sad. I love every missionary that comes through my area. They are humble, kind, and they are HUMAN. They will not harass you, so if you want to throw out such disgusting insults, start with the mirror. I try to be Christlike every day, but so help me God if I ever found out one of my missionaries was spit on or harmed in any way, I will drive my car through someone's front door. God bless.

[@arturogalan3275]

Tiene una voz exelente

[@mmarquezhn83]

This is how an Angel sings, this is how a person with a beautiful spirit rejoyce for his faith, his time on this life is for blessing to many many people, he really is a Son of God and a true follower of JesusChrist.

[@LebreaAlston]

We love you ❤David archlutea ❤❤❤

[@Becoming0ne]

This is David singing his testimony and living his testimony. So incredibly powerful. Love ya always David.

[@Malou1988]

God bless your beautiful soul..be safe and continue to share your beautiful gift! God Bless YOU.

[@JulieDelahooke]

what a brave soul. i'm not religious in any way, but i'm so proud of him. he's a beautiful human being inside and out.

[@kram062278]

1. I am not a Mormon but I salute him for putting into action on what he believes in. 2. Very nice version of holy night. i got chills.

[@YouAreMyEverythingCM]

I don't know if cry of happiness because David is the artist with more moral or cry because we can't see him for a time. But, i wish him the best for his life and i stay waiting for him for more music. I love him and... IS SO SWEET!! :) Really.. is a GREAT ARTIST! I'm from México and i'm a Big FAN and i will continue! DAVID, YOU ARE THE BEST SINGER AND THE BEST PERSON!

[@lory3557]

I just saw this. His spirit is so sweet. This video made me cry. I miss my own brother on his mission in New Jersey. David is such a role model to me.

[@jrobert6916]

This man. Wow! He’s taught me about Christ through his kind example. David is a good man. He is what HUMBLE means. We love music like yours.

[@TrixieRix]

I'm not Mormon but this video gave me chills. We all need to respect other's choices. Obviously a big deal to him and that's all that's important.

[@fehaven8120]

love his voice.... and i admire him....

[@theshortfellows-speaksoftl5484]

Crying is admirable, because when you cry (happy tears:)-, it shows people that you are feeling the spirit, and that means you are doing righteous things;)-

[@MsStar2B]

He used to be in my ward!!! He'd sing solo's in our ward choir:) David was such an amazing kid! We all knew he'd make it big time, and i'm so glad he'd choose the right at the same time. What an amazing person, I look up to him so much! WAY TO GO DAVID!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!!!

[@MARYJAMES444]

THIS MAKES ME SO PROUD OF DAVID AND BREAKS MY HEART AT THE SAME TIME,GOD BLESS YOU DAVID, FANS LOVE WHO YOU ARE, AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL VOICE. YOU HAVE TOUCHED MANY HEARTS. WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU.#2014 WAITING FOR YOUR RETURN.♥♥♥

[@gracen152]

show them that we anit just mormans we are part of the church of jesus christ of latter day saints and we believe in our savior jesus christ

[@sonjawright518]

this wonderful young man, his beautiful voice and you can see the radiance of his testimony on his face as he sings. I cry every time I watch this video. David, you are an inspiration to so many of us LDS.

[@mikeguy]

Putting the church David belongs to aside, we need to look at Davids heart and soul. The main thing is his love for God, his recognizing the blessings he has received and in wanting to serve the Lord. If we all had Davids love, heart and soul, this world would be heaven. God bless you David and may God protect you.

[@reasonable15]

I have so much respect for someone like David, who tries to do what they feel is right even though it involves sacrifice. I have never heard "Oh Holy Night," sung with such beauty and emotion. This guy is incredible.

[@ASLAnissaOfficial]

I dnt have the same beliefs, but I always try to respect people religious choices. I am always in awe of people that are so committed to their beliefs. I am happy for him. :) Love you David!

[@menezine]

I'm not surprise he choose to do that because this is kind of David that we fall in love will do And I support you even I'm Buddha. Thank you for all 4 years that you inspire me and it still be the same when you come back. I'm will waiting for you come back with my love and my hope in you. God bless you.

[@serenity196060]

what a gifted voice..he will be an awesome missionary..in Africa..will miss him..but he will be blessing too people there..like he has been to all of us fans!!!..God Bless You David!!!:O)

[@dean8076]

A true IDOL if ya ask me.

[@larryheyes5743]

God love, God bless this young man, one of his children. I" ve watched David gro from way back when for the past 18 years. Anyone especially would be more than blessed to have him as a friend, brother, son. I can say that this young man has a very bright, very special light within him that our Heavenly Father has given him. David, my brother, shine on, shine your love from above to all. Amen!

[@trmichaels]

Amazing. Best version I have ever heard of this incredibly moving song - or of any song, really. Sung with heartfelt emotion and authenticity. David was in the zone on this one, extremely focused and centered. He has a great spirit. And thanks also to French opera composer Adolphe Adam for composing such a phenomenal and inspiring piece of music.

[@MONZON68]

Ok. Here's all we have to know about David Archuleta. And it doesn't matter whether you are religious or atheist. If the world were filled with more people like David, it would be a better place. You sure cannot say that about a lot of people in the news today. This kid always had, and always will have, a beautiful soul.

[@oyundashjav8519]

I love to hear and to listen this beautiful song O Holy night by David Archuleta. Because, I feel the Spirit from his voice. and I think of him that he sing from the bottom of his heart. and I'm so happy for he is becoming Missionary of the Lord

[@e7venjedi]

jtmlm1234 Thank you for capturing this moment. The reaction from him and the crowd is really something special. I've been there. What a beautiful moment in time.

[@SRHS83]

I can't say it enough how amazing it was to be there and witness his announcement. The spirit in the room was so thick. So much pride and love for this young man. He is more than just a talented singer, he is close to his Father in Heaven, he has a strong spirit and knows what he needs to do with his life. God bless him and we will miss him. But, we will be for his next chapter of his career. #DA2014

[@LiveFromTheFridge]

Though I am not a person who attends church or believes in the church, I do applaud him for following his heart and having a strong conviction in his faith. Your a good man David.

[@monarchout92]

@naz0098 .....:) Good Singers and good people....will be recognized in any part of the world, plus he's come to my city...How can anyone not like him!?!

[@bordeas09]

[@monarchout92]

Ever since I heard about the announcement...I can't stop crying, its not just because he will be gone for two years,but just about how humble and amazing a guy can be! He is truly a legend to me!-------- HUGE SUPPORT FROM FANS IN INDIA!!!!!!!!

[@marshann1753]

[@laurynmitchell8707]

David is my biggest musical influence. He's such an amazing influence as a celebrity. We love you David! Can't wait till spring! #DA2014

[@kathrynnuttle8444]

after he said "full time mission" I think every lds fangirl's heart exploded

[@dawnielleanderson]

He is my hero! David, you are making the absolute right decision here. I can tell you have felt that special feeling before, and we know what it is. I know lots of people who are cheering for you and want you to know that you are an amazing example. I know you will be protected through the true church. Way to go, enort1964. I am glad that there are as many members of this true church as there are, but I want all of us to join in the Celestial Kingdom after that day. David, love you! Stay true.

[@nataly140]

What a great example he is! Bless his heart! God knows what is best for you, David, and He will never let you down!!!

[@SRHS83]

Hard to believe this was a year ago today. To be there that night was amazing. The spirit in the room was strong and so many people were crying. God bless him as he continues his mission. This fan, not going anywhere. I will be here when he returns!

[@silvernsilver11111]

Ill support you forever David! Im so proud of you and you inspire me!! God bless you David!

[@thamirescattone]

É isso que me encanta no David, um garoto simples, dotado, muito bem educado, para mim ele é um exemplo, como todo jovem deve ser. Eu creio que isso agrada a Deus, tenho certeza de que Deus fica muito feliz por ele ser assim. Porque ele não é como muitos que depois da fama estragam suas vidas e se sentem os "senhores da história" ( como diz um padre amigo meu). Eu peço a Deus que o abençoe sempre e que ele continue sempre assim e que mais jovens possam se espelhar no David Archuleta.

[@naz0098]

crying.........crying........crying! i cant stop! we're all so proud of you!! and your decision!

[@traylynnhultquist3409]

I so agree! I felt every word he said and feel the same way. You can hear the spirit speaking through him. I strongly felt it.

[@mcestardo]

He is a faithful member of the Church and a very down to earth... I love you David, you are the best! :)

[@ldsjenny08]

[@MixedNutsMs]

He's a special.gift from God!

[@HugsAndHearts234]

[@KKTrickyStick]

Going on a mission in the LDS Church is a big deal, a great sacrifice. Realize the fact that his singing career is huge. It's amazing that he has decided to do one. You go David Achuleta and good luck! Mormon Power!! :D

[@platniumjane]

I was there and it was an amazing night....I'll always be his fan forever.. May God bless you David.....

[@iloveoldschoolanime]

[@valariepollard1925]

u have a great voice an i look up to u. it would be really great if u came to visit the St. John's Antigua Branch. thank u for building my faith in my mission to come

[@audriechidester6278]

So cool! Its cool that he is serving a mission! :) I love the song O holy night! I love it how you can tell he means it!

[@믹서-k3r]

I don't believe god but when david sings gospel songs, I can feel something special spiritual thing. His voice is everything. I just feel sad for what he had to suffer because of the thing that isn't his fault. I love him so much.

[@raetime08]

I honestly don't know how he sang that song after feeling so much emotion inside himself and from the crowd. That takes real voice control! Aside from that--he is a rare and shining light in this world so full of darkness. Love him.

[@AgentEpic]

This is heart warming, even though some people would resent him for this he also gained the kind of audience that supports him. Good job david

[@4evaiheartu]

Btw I met him once at a book signing June 3rd 2009 and I saw him live inconcert december 1st 2011 two most of the best days of my life. especialy meeting him he's so humble and too cute! Not many of these young men out there like David, heck not manymen like David out there period. Just gotta love everything about him I sur do :-)

[@madelion24]

i'm personal agnostic, but i think that it's great that he felt that he too should go on his two year mission like so many others in the LDS Church his age do. Fame is not everything, and for him to truly keep his faith and practice it and want to share it is very brave of him. I can see that he is truly a blessed person.

[@dancegenuis101]

David just entered the MTC yesterday! And they found out that he is going to Chile! I'm so happy for him!!

[@chelsealovesplants]

I'm not Mormon but I'm proud of him. It's nice to see a person get deeper in their faith.

[@os6lindos]

David, we are so proud of you! What a good example you are to the youth!

[@njpammy]

His voice...is beyond amazing. So much beauty, emotion, and sincerity in it. I cannot hold back my tears.

[@SRHS83]

@inZionTV that's awesome. Being around him overwhelms me. He is so blessed strong with Heavenly Father's spirit. What's it like hearing his voice singing with the congregation? like an angel entered the room I imagine!

[@josetolentino5593]

i started crying when i heard this

[@ericdlred24]

I'm about to go on a mission next year! He's really inspiring :)

[@SRHS83]

@MsStar2B What a spiritual uplifting treat that would be to hear him sing solos in church! I'm proud of him like a mom, even though I'm just a fan. God bless him on his mission and always!

[@Squidgirly]

So awesome!! This is amazing and the best thing he could do with his life right now. He will be spreading the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ!

[@celvington]

He is on his mission in Chile, he will return March of 2014. He recorded songs before he left, for his fans.

[@Paul_Ardern]

Where ever you go you will be a great representative of our Saviour. A mission is an awesome experience.

[@amy9791]
