From an article I found:
Monday night, during the Salt Lake City, Utah, stop of his My Kind of
Christmas tour, David Archuleta announced that he'll take a two-year
break from his music career to serve a full-time mission for the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
David wiped away tears, and
the hometown crowd enthusiastically applauded, as he said: "It's not
because somebody told me that I was supposed to do it, not because that I
no longer want to do music anymore, but it's because it's the feeling
that I felt that I need to do next in my life. It's just the same
feeling that I've always followed, tried to follow in my life. It's the
feeling that has allowed me to have the opportunities that I've had, the
challenges that I've overcome and the blessings, too. And I've learned
to trust that feeling, and I've learned that I need to answer when it
calls. And that is the reason why I know I need to do this in my life."
