Yesterday was a very special day indeed for a group of Mormon youth as David performed and spoke at a fireside.

From Richard Parkinson @ FOD:

I need to get some sleep, but I thought I’d let you all know things went so well tonight! David did an amazing job speaking from the heart to a wonderful group of folks. His songs were awesome (as always) and it just was really good. That’s all.

David Archuleta!

Emma and I had the opportunity to go to a fireside that David Archuleta sang and spoke at. It was a very cool experience. His voice is chilling live and when he sang I Know That My Redeemer Lives, the spirit was extremely strong in the room! He told us how reading the Book of Mormon has gotten him through the times when he was super busy on American Idol and even during his schedule today. We also got the opportunity to meet him and get an autograph. He was such a nice and genuine guy!
