SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- LDS Church President Gordon B. Hinckley will be in Finland this weekend to dedicate the church's newest temple.
The 96-year-old leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will be in Helsinki to preside over the temple dedication ceremonies on Sunday.
But on Saturday night, LDS youth will display their talents at a cultural celebration. Hinckley launched the tradition a few years ago to involve young Mormons in the festivities surrounding a new temple.
The Finland trip is evidence Hinckley has regained some of his health since his surgery back in January. That's when doctors removed a cancerous growth from his colon.
The Helsinki Finland Temple will be the church's 124th temple in the world.
