Just this last Saturday I received my last letter from Sister Landrum. She will be arriving home aroung the 13th of next month from her mission to the Phillipines. Words cannot express how excited I am to see her and hear her speak in Tagalog and I'm not even her mother. LOL! I've always been very impressed with this girl. She is the oldest of the Anderson grandchildren and I would say that we couldn't have hand picked a better girl to do the job. Brity has paved the way with her shining example from the time she was little. Wendy has always said that this girl has raised herself. She has never needed much direction to go the right direction she just always used her inner compass and it has served her well. I'm sure it has helped her to follow the path that her wonderful parents have set for her. She definately was blessed with strong parents who have raised 5 beautiful earthly daughters and will have the chance to raise one more in their Heavenly home.
Brity I just want you to know that your Aunt Jenny loves you. I admire you and I know that you will go far in this life. You will influence many people for the good because you are a strong woman with her heart set on things not of this world. As I was just pondering what to write here I was thinking of first children and how amazing it is that as I think of the first children in our family - Aunt Terri, Katie & Becca, Isaac, You, Paige, Chloe, Ethan - I can see that Heavenly Father sends down these amazing children first because he knew that they would pave the way with their examples for the rest of their siblings. It's not to say that they won't stumble and it's not to say that the ones who followed weren't as important (after all I'm the fourth child).
Thank you for devoting 18 months of your life to the Lord and for serving the people of the Phillipines. They have been blessed by knowing you and so have I.
I Love You!
