Dieter Uchtdorf is the only non-American who is an "apostle" with the Church of Latter Day Saints -- commonly called the Mormons.
The Mormon Church is headquartered in Salt Lake City, but has missionaries across the world, resulting in a steadily climbing number of members.
The Church has long been known for making periodic negative headlines due to some remaining polygamists -- despite the church's ban on the practice. But now, presidential candidate Mitt Romney is making for more positive headlines for the church.
Romney, a Republican, is one of a number of candidates looking for the nomination. Voters are unsure about his religion.
There are still a number of practicing polygamists, many of them having formed break-away sects in remote towns and villages in the American West. The Church of Latter-Day Saints do not consider them as belonging to the church.
