I just love this scripture and this picture. Can you even image, the Savior there with you on your right and left, His spirit in your heart, and His angels all around you. Can you ask for anything else that could be more important than that? I for sure can’t. 

Doctrine and Covenants 84:88
And whoso receiveth you, there I will be also, for I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up.

Today the news interviewed Don, Fawn, and myself at my house. They were here for about an hour and it was a very special event. We all cried and felt so much closer to each other. I feel that this scripture really applied in this process and tonight. Even my daughter, Kembri, felt it and came up to me after and said that she really felt the spirit so strong as we talked. 

Let me give a few examples of how this verse was demonstrated and how things were prepared for us. 
  • Fawn made a Venmo account and a link for people to donate. I expressed my concerns with that method with my wife. The verification process alone took 2 days before someone could donate. I talked to Fawn about it and asked her if she had looked into GoFundMe. She said no, and asked if we would. Kiera agreed and took that on the next morning. We had created a GoFundMe account and blasted it on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and text all within the first 24 hours. 
  • One morning in particular, I prayed with great desire, that the Lord help the right people see the GoFundMe link and be drawn to it. Later that day, I felt impressed to check my email. As I shifted through my emails and donation emails, I saw a message from Ashlee DeMartino with AZ Family and channel 3 and 5 news. She wanted to know if we would like to do an interview. She had seen the GoFundMe link on an app called, Next Door.” One of her neighbors had posted it there and she talked to her Director and they decided to do a story on Don if we wanted that. They desired to help us raise more funds.
  • And of course, the interview itself went very well and our hearts were even more knit together. My bonds of love for Don and Fawn and all their children was significantly enhanced.
  • This above scripture was in my design folder for weeks and I would do a little design here and there, but just never felt inspired to finish and post it until tonight. Even as I designed and started to write this post, it started off differently, and then I felt that I needed to erase and start over and write the words that was put into my heart, and all these words and thoughts and feelings just flowed out. I had not even made the connection to our night and this scripture before, until I erased and put my faith in the Lord and He taught me. I hope I was able to convey at least a few of these thoughts I had to you in this post.
The Lord truly went before us and prepared the way and then was with us on our right and our left, and His spirit was in our hearts in abundance and as you can see His angels were all around us to bear us up.
