Happy Birthday Mario! (not the videogame character)

The Sister Missionaries in our ward asked us to go visit a man named Mario a few weeks ago.  It was their first time visiting him but he seemed really interesting in learning more about the Gospel and turning his life around.  It was a lot of fun to sit in on a lesson from the member's perspective, rather than the full-time missionaries', because I got to see how well the Sisters taught together and followed the Spirit--they are great missionaries.  It is also fun to just do and say those things (like offer to give the investigator a ride to church and invite them all over for dinner or Family Home Evening at our house) that when I was a missionary, I just loved to hear the members say! 

Anyway, we invited Mario and the Sisters over to dinner to have a quazi-Birthday Party for him because, obviously, it was his birthday.  Unfortunately, his phone was disconnected and, because his roommate got in a fight with their landlords, he got evicted from his apartment!  So, in short, we couldn't find him and had no way to contact him on the day of the "party".  So, we just had the Sisters over for some delicious spaghetti with french bread and yummy brownies and ice-cream!
