Calgary’s lovely Gengen (who has been doing humanitarian work in Asia for the past few years) is at the press conference! (Who knew she’d have better luck seeing David sing there, than I have here in Toronto? 🙂 )

“Almost fainted! David looked at me and smiled!”
.
So is Gregory Ranin!
Apparently, Gregory live-streamed David’s “Glorious” on FB… fingers crossed we get to see/hear it!
p.s.
more from Gengen….
LOVE; THIS SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!
Me: David! You haven’t changed a bit! (not being flattering, 100% true)
David: You haven’t changed either, still as energetic.
Ah! The good old Fangirling mode is on, again!
.
IS THERE ANY SMILE SMILIER THAN THAT OF A PERSON MEETING DAVID ARCHULETA?!?

.
VIDEOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
.
his change-ups are … Glorious!!!! 🙂

@DavidArchie how can you sing a Chinese song with such perfect pronunciation lol. You’ve must put much effort on it. We are all touched.

@DavidArchie got a standing ovation after his final song for the show. Too bad it isn’t allowed to record 😢 pic.twitter.com/I0Uc7AF1nB

Shared by Gengen: Professional photos of David at Taipei Press Conference from Mr. Chewea Hu. Thanks, G.!!!!
**********************
MOAR PICS!!!! GET WELL SOON, DAVID!!!! NO POKEMON GO FOR YOU!!!!! 😉

This picture reminds me of the tagline on the lovely @rhiminee’s Tumblr: “David Archuleta is a precious porkchop who must be protected at all times.” #word
.
*busted* 🙂
Exciting times!!!! Hopefully there will be lots of vids and pics!!!!
How nice that Gengen is there…and Gregorie, possibly other fans. Hey, we’re everywhere!
Hope David has a great time in Taiwan and yes, fingers crossed for some vids. Great photos. 🙂
Gengen! How great to see her(you?) again! The greatest fangirling session I was ever in involved her and a bunch of other great people in a hotel room in Idaho Falls. Aww, I miss Gengen even as I admire the sacrifices she has made to do the work her heart says she must.
Does anyone know what David is actually doing in Taiwan? Is it connected with his church? Wishing him a lovely trip!
How awesome for Gengen!! ((((hug))))
And Greg!!!
Looks like David will be hitting all parts of the world (east coast & Toronto included hopefully) as an ambassador for his church. Regular concerts seem to be less likely but not impossible I feel.. This is what is near & dear to his heart. The other is probably secondary to him but still important. It’s all music after all. The preceding is my personal opinions. ♥
Go to The Voice David Archuleta website for a wonderful article about all the places he will be singing in Taiwan. It is all church related but is jam packed with lots of beautiful venues.
Added more pics from Gengen and here’s a blog from HPfanrinnie!!!

How sweet is it to see Gengen again?!
Loving these pictures and the reports about David’s latest of many excellent adventures.
Gengen!!!!! David in Taiwan!! This is awesome in every way. 🙂
Thank you so much for this! I confess that the pictures of Gengen hugging David made me tear up! Such is the love Archies have for him!
And Glorious is sounding better and better 🙂
Me, too! I could tell from that first smile that he recognized Gengen (he is so awesome that way!). I wonder if she got to tell him what she’d been doing?
What an awesome group of fans, from first-timers to old-timers! My heart is happy.
me three!!! *sniff*
and the award for bright sparkly eyes goes toooooo
Oh my goodness, that face, those eyes behind which his soul sparkles. Is why I’m still a fan, and yes his voice too 🙂
#thesparkliest
Really, really nice to see that sparkle. I agree with Jeanne, it’s part of the “whole package” that keeps me coming back.
Do I spy Gina Orr?
//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js
Yes! I’m sure that’s Gina!
I can’t stop smiling. So happy to know Gengen was there; had no idea she was still following him <333 Happy to see David remember her. And Deb so true what you said 'Who knew she’d have better luck seeing David sing there, than I have here in Toronto?'!!!!! I hope he shows up in your neck of the woods to serenade you and Refnaf in the not too distant future!
So happy for Gengen that she got to see David! OMJ! She even got a two-armed hug!
Added more pics to the post! Really hope some clandestine vids surface. #greedyfan
adorbs!

Thoughts and Prayers for Margie
Hi friends~
We recently received some health news regarding a fellow fan/family member: Margie (@Hunnzy). Margie ‘ok’d” us sharing this news with all of you. If you recall, Margie had been diagnosed with kidney cancer this past Spring and on May 2nd, she had her affected kidney successfully removed. Now, however, she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Margie has opted to enter a program using alternative therapies (no chemo or radiation) and has travelled to Mexico with her husband to begin this program called “Hope4Cancer.” She will be there until August 26th. Margie shared that she is feeling strong both physically and spiritually. She is excited to see “what God is doing” and thankful that she was lead to this program.
Margie would be very thankful and grateful if you could keep her in your thoughts and prayers during this time. We are wishing the very best for her and are hoping for successful treatment and healing!!
We have created a group card in support of her that will be delivered on Friday afternoon. If you would like to sign her card and add a message, please click on the link below. Thank you!!

YAY!! Thanks!!!
love the reaction he gets from the crowd! … how thoughtful, how “David” of him to take the time to learn that special song for them *sniff*
I do too! He’s so thoughtful of who is there listening to him. You know he researched to find this song and then got the music and learned it…in CHINESE!! #neverceasestoamaze ♥
ikr! blows my mind, wow
Wow, David singing in Chinese for the people there, how beautiful, sweet, thoughtful and amazing of him. Another language added to his singing repertoire! He does have a skill for that….among many others. Loving David’s “mini-vloggy” things too TOfan! Another great experience For David, being in Taiwan, I’m sure. Not to mention how special it is for the folks there.
Many thanks to Abrra! Thanks for all these terrific updates TOfan and many good thoughts and wishes to Margie for a complete recovery. ❤

To quote one of the awesome-ist SnowAngelzzz….”Eeeeeepppppppppppppppppppppppp!!!!” All kinds of goodness and beauty to enjoy in this Taiwan trip. Just Wow. And David seems so content, still challenging himself for sure, but in an environment that speaks to his soul. Kudos and a big Bravissimo to him.
No matter where he goes no matter who his audience is, he changes lives. He seems to have acclimated to that gift and using it in a manner that achieves what he wishes. Such an incredible human being…*sniff, sniff*
I need a road trip fix. ****remembers St George, 2015….awesomeness***** LOL. Can’t do the fall this year but I’m going on one next year for sure. I am always in awe that I got to be a David fan.
Love Hugs and Kisses to all at SAz! 😀
Hi Kizzi!
Love this: “No matter where he goes no matter who his audience is, he changes lives.”
Truism.
