:'''Deb Daulton Thibodeau''': ''...the idea was presented to Dad and it was talked about, and he didn't want initially to leave the proximity of the prophet. He wanted to stay in that area, but he was quite enchanted. And he told us several times when we were kids, that he was just very enchanted about the idea of going out west and picking oranges and living in the sun. And he was concerned enough about this move, that he wasn't initially ready to make it. And brother Branham, you know, he preached and hunted a lot in Tucson. And when he bought a house there that decreased some of dad's anxiety and he was ultimately then persuaded to go ahead with the vision, but he did speak with brother Branham about it… with William Branham about it.

:''And he asked him about this big move, because it was a big move. You're talking about an entire family of 12 siblings, and several of them were married and had children their own. And he has described to me the moment that William Branham laid his hands on his arms and said to him, “Go on ahead, brother Dalton. I see this coming out alright. We'll all be okay.”  And that's what dad needed to make that move. And from there, that's how we ended up in the Park.

:'''Deb Daulton Thibodeau''': That he had a promise to go up in the rapture. He would go up alive in the rapture ...and here he was on his deathbed, unable to function in a human capacity any longer.  But he agonized over the fact that he was not going to go up alive in the rapture.  And for a long time after mom died, he got it in his head that she would not be chosen or in the bride of Christ because she went by way of the grave. So we all got through that with him.
