There are three branches of the Church here in Mauritius. All three are French-speaking, which is fine for me. Beverly is doing pretty well with French now, too.
All the members are very friendly. We feel at home already. The only problem we have is when they speak Creole. Some of the people switch back and forth all the time, which is difficult to follow so far (after less than one week here).
The two Elders assigned to our ward are from Tahiti and Australia. We're in the Madagascar mission, although we have our own district here on Mauritius. We went to dinner with the District President and his wife on our second night here. Very nice people from South Africa.
Our chapel is in one of the most beautiful settings I've ever seen for an LDS chapel. A stream runs through the property, flowing next to the chapel, so you drive across a small bridge to get to the parking area.
I'm sitting on the bridge here. You can barely see the chapel behind me because of all the foliage.
