Start of a new Transfer

Burnham Clan,
Thanks for all your emails and prayers. I appreciate them a lot. I am writing on Tuesday this week because the libraries were closed yesterday for Memorial day. This was transfer week. I guess I told you about that last week now that I think about it. I am staying with Elder Jimenez.
The work has gone well this week. Adriana and Salvador did not come to church last week, but Adriana got a new job so she can be free on Sundays. They should come on a regular basis now. I am really excited. She told us last night that his biggest hangup to getting baptized is Joseph Smith. She tells him he needs to pray about it to see if he really was a prophet. She wants a pamphlet about Joseph Smith so she can know more and then explain it to him. We are going to try to go to the Trail Center this week on Saturday and watch the Joseph Smith movie with him. We feel like that would really help him progress toward baptism.
We also found a new investigator named Ariel. I mentioned him last week. He is a really good investigator. We taught him twice and he read the chapter we left him from the Book of Mormon, and the one before it too! He took it to work to read it there. He drove himself to church and wore a red button-up shirt and tie. The ward really fellowshipped him and he told us he liked it and wants to come again next week. That is really promising. I hope to see him baptized before the end of the transfer. He could do it.
I hope you are all well! Have a great week.
-Elder Burnham
