The Church has 3 meeting places on Mauritius. In Flacq, the Church leases 2 floors of this building.

A closer look of the Flacq chapel.

Though the Republic of Mauritius considers itself part of Africa, there are not too many Africans in the population of 1.3 million people.  Most of the population are Indians from India. There are also many Hindu temples on the island. Mom said she won't have to go to India now. 

This is the LDS Chapel in Phoenix, Mauritius. There are just two chapels owned and built by the Church on Mauritius.  We attended Church here on the Sunday after Christmas. The service was held in both English and French. 

The Phoenix Chapel grounds has a stream running through it.

This is the entrance to the second LDS Chapel on Mauritius at Rosehill. Note the signage is in French.

The entire island is very tropical.

Salt ponds on Mauritius. They pump in salt water from the ocean and let it evaporate in the sun. What is left is ocean salt, which is then swept up and bagged.

The beaches of Mauritius are gorgeous. This is Mom walking near our hotel on the west side of the island.

The sunsets were spectacular.

This is NOT a photoshopped picture.

Everyone is getting ready for the New Year. Taylor, what do you think, 20,000 fire crackers for the lighting? Sounds like a good deal to me.

We had Christmas dinner with the Marc Colin family. He was born on the island but met his wife (standing in back) in California. She has just received her Phd. in Education. She did her thesis on the Mauritius educational system.

I had to post a selfie. On the beach with Mom, Christmas in Mauritius 2014.

Waiting for the sunset to really begin.

Sugar cane is the number one export from the island. It's everywhere you look on an island that is about as big as Maui.
