A Christmas pageant was held outside of the LDS temple in Santiago, Chile, on December 8, 2012. It was a great evening of music, dance, and reflection on the birth of Jesus Christ.
Special guest singers included Elder David Archuleta, Rebeca Lopez, and Lorena Reyes. Elder Jorge F. Zeballos, First Counselor in the South America South Area Presidency, provided a Christmas message.
I hope you enjoy the following video of highlights of that Christmas concert.
Elder David Archuleta is nearly nine months into his 2-year LDS mission. When Elder Archuleta sang in a choir at the LDS General Conference back in April, photos and video were spread widely on social media. I expect that this video will also get quite a few views. The video was just posted yesterday, and the views now stand at 1,123. Any guesses as to how many views it will get by the end of December?
Not being of Mormon faith, yet being a fan of David Archuleta, I have nothing but HIGH PRAISE to give him for giving up his entire career to follow his heart and go on a Mission. Proud of Him and proud to be a fan of his. His magnificent voice and humble personality is quite something. Glad all of the people in Chile get to see and hear him and so glad these videos are posted. Proud of him. Admire all of the missionaries for what they do! God Bless and Merry Christmas.
There are videos out there for each of the songs he sang during this event and a couple of them have already gone over 20,000 views and climbing.
That video is a beautifully edited summary of the concert. Fans get very little information on how Elder Archuleta is doing so I am very happy to see and hear that he is well and has opportunities like this to use his singing in his mission. And I am grateful to hear his voice during the Christmas season – something I didn’t expect until 2014. Thank you.
Christmas has now officially began. What a blessing it is to hear and see Elder Archuleta sing with that glorious voice of his. Truly bring the meaning of Christmas to the forefront. Thank you for the link. There several out there with thousands of views already.

Proud of Elder Archuleta for his continuing service to the Heavely Father. As a singer, he gave of his time to numerous charities and did Firesides while on tour. He never forgot from where his heavenly gift came. He is truly a great role model for all people. As a fan, I miss him and was happy to see and hear him sing. Also, happy to see that he is well. Thanks for sharing this with his fans worldwide. Merry Christmas..
It is so so good to hear David sing those Christmas songs again…..and in Spanish this time….I am so so proud of him for following his heart and faith…Can’t WAIT till he returns in 2014…….Miss Vicki
