During a special devotional meeting on Wednesday, 12 August at the Redoubt Road Latter-day Saint meetinghouse in South Auckland, David Archuleta used his gift of music and the spoken word to share his faith in Jesus Christ and his belief that “through the small and simple things we do each day, great things can happen.”
Archuleta gave examples from his own Latter-day Saint mission in Chile, South America, where doing the small and simple things—like approaching people he didn’t know, and inviting them to church services—felt awkward and was hard to do.
