Yesterday, President Nelson announced a temple would be built in Antananarivo, Madagascar. We were particularly happy about that one because we lived in Mauritius and spent a week in Madagascar. The new temple will have a tremendous impact on the Latter-day Saints in that area, as well as on their friends, families and neighbors.
Plus, our new illustrated book about Church history from an African perspective is set in Madagascar. The artist is from Madagascar and currently lives in Mauritius. He’s a well-known political cartoonist who is very talented, as you can see from the illustrations.
For today’s post, we’ll use images to tell the story. (click to enlarge)
BTW, this was the same trip during which we visited Moroni, the capital of Comoros, with two books I was working through at the time: Royal Skousen’s book on the History of the Language and the Annotated Book of Mormon (see the last two photos).
