2008 runner up American Idol David Archuleta, 21, who plays a Fil-Am singer in the TV5 soap Nandito here in the PH leaves the TV show for a missionary work as a form of spiritual sacrifice, as a form of being grateful for the Lord's goodness and blessings.

As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or commonly known as Mormon, David Archuleta has left his TV show for a 2-year mission to serve the Lord as a test of his strong faith and obedience. Every young man and young woman in the Church upon reaching the missionary age of 19 to 25 shall go out for a mission for 24 months for the male and 18 months for the female..

Besides, he had already made a personal announcement sometime in December 2011 in his Utah concert saying that  it's the feeling that he felt that he need to do next in his life by taking a break for music for two years.

Missionary work is one of the 3-fold missions of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The scriptures are so clear that the word of God will be proclaimed to all nations, kindreds and tongues.
