In his recent blog, we see an extraordinaire David — a humble and down-to-earth individual { and all the other positive adjectives you can think of }. It’s very interesting to know that amidst his busy schedule, he finds time to nurture and mold his connection with the Divine. He becomes a living example of the values espoused by his religion. You don’t need to witness a multiplication of breads&fishes into a thousandfolds, nor be a doubting Thomas who needs a tangible evidence, to convince yourself that he really is religious.

This is what I like about David Archuleta aside from his angelic and soothing face. The beauty that we see from the outside emanates from within his inner self.

Take a look at the places he’d been to on his recent dayoff…

David Archuleta said he went to Far West Missouri, and the history in that is that the Early Latter-day Saints began to settle in northwestern Missouri soon after the Mormon church was organized in 1830. According to a revelation given by Joseph Smith Jr., Independence, (the other place that David mentioned), would be the “center place” of the City of Zion when Jesus returned.

Kirtland Temple

Owned and operated by the Community of Christ, formerly the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the house of worship was the first temple to be built by the Latter Day Saint movement.

The Nauvoo Temple was the second temple constructed by Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, commonly known as the Mormons. The church’s first temple was completed in Kirtland, Ohio, United States in 1836. When the main body of the church was forced out of Nauvoo, Illinois in the winter of 1846, the church attempted to sell the building, finally succeeding in 1848. The building was damaged by fire and a tornado before being demolished.

In 1937, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints reacquired the lot on which the original temple had stood. The Church built a temple on the original site whose exterior is a replica of the first temple, but whose interior is laid out like a modern Latter-day Saint temple. On 27 June 2002, this new temple was dedicated as the Nauvoo Illinois Temple.

Indeed, this tour is not only a journey of music…but also a journey of faith
