Because every year my mom claims she's going to write a Christmas letter, and I am always really nervous about what she's going to say about me, this is my very own Christmas letter to you all.
This year Aubrey finished her second semester of BYU and began preparing to serve a mission. She mostly just hung out at home and made lots of hair bows and watched lots of TV and went to all the YSA ward activities and went to farewells on farewells on farewells. She had a super fun summer and July 31 she entered the Provo MTC.
Aubrey loved the MTC because she learned a lot and loved all the people there. But she was also extremely excited to get to Chile. She traveled 25 hours to get there and loved it from the very start. She was really cold at first, but got used to it after a while.
She has tried to be obedient and focus on the work of the Lord the best that she can. There have been many challenges and growing experiences, and she has also seen millions of miracles. She loves the people of Chile even though most of them "already have their religion" and "work all day every day" so they can't listen to the message of the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. But every once in a while she and her great companion, Hermana Rodriguez, find people that are ready to accept the Atonement of Jesus Christ in their lives and make a change so they can be eternally happy. Finding those people and sharing her testimony with them makes her the happiest she's been her whole life.
Most of all she is grateful for this time as a missionary to be able to know her Savior better and understand His gospel a tiny bit more. She loves the scriptures and she loves being able to feel the influence of the Holy Ghost every day in her life.
I love you and miss you all! But I'm also extremely happy right where I am. Thanks for your prayers, letters, emails, photos, packages, and overall support. I hope you can all remember our Savior in this time of Christmas and the whole year as well.
Love,
Hermana Glazier

Got a free haircut from Hermana Amaya this morning. (I only trusted her because she cut Hna Harris's hair the other day and it looked good).
