Since Jim received the calling of Ward Mission Leader, we’ve been feeding the missionaries almost every week. We asked them if there was anything special they’d like us to make – something they miss from home, or haven’t had in a long time. Elder Howard asked us to make his mom’s split pea soup. He gave us his home phone number and I called Kathy Howard in College Station, Texas, to get her recipe. It was great to talk to her, and she was very pleased to hear about her son and help us make something special for him.<\/p>\n
Sadly, we found out less than a week later that Elder Howard was going to be transferred to Antioch! Still, we managed to have the Elders over for his dinner the evening before transfers, and it turned out great! He said it was wonderful, and just like his mom’s! It was super easy, too, so for anyone who likes this soup, it’s definitly a recipe you should try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
