I was certainly happy with that explanation.

16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

Doctrine and Covenants 93:26
26 The Spirit of truth is of God. I am the Spirit of truth, and John bore record of me, saying: He received a fulness of truth, yea, even of all truth;

So, here we have Jesus self-identifying as the Spirit of Truth, and explaining he will come to the believer. Indeed, we already know Jesus is the truth, the way, and the life (John 14:6).
