Over 50,000 LDS youth participated in a Face to Face Live Facebook chat with David Archuleta, professional singer and recently returned LDS missionary.

Youth around the world asked questions and heard about David decision to postpone a successful music career to serve the Lord. He sang, shared stories from his Mormon mission, and gave advice for future missionaries. Below are some screen captures from the event:
