KIEV, Ukraine -- The Angel Moroni was placed atop the Kiev Ukraine Temple recently, a significant event for members in Eastern Europe, where Mormon presence is still in its infancy.

However, more than 650 church members -- including parents sitting with their children -- attended a devotional meeting in the chapel of a meetinghouse at the temple site in the early afternoon.
