Yesterday evening I unexpectedly got a text from Brother Sweetwood along me to come meet with the bishop tonight. When I got into the office he started by assuring me that this was not about any calling (a thing which has never worried me) but that I had been on his mind and he wanted to see how things were going and get to know me better.
We had a very open conversation and discovered a mutual love for Elder Maxwell (each from experiences in our respective missions) and at the end he asked if I wanted a priesthood blessing. Just the fact that I had been on his mind was a reminder that Heavenly Father is mindful of me but I felt it very strongly as he blessed me to be able to endure, to have the wisdom I needed, and to be patient in affliction.
It was a very bolstering meeting.
