The Not-So-Dreaded Bishop’s Office
Heavenly Father, please forgive me. Help me talk to the bishop today.
I can do it.
Can’t.
Can.
Can’t.
I can!
Oops, sorry.
You coming to put chairs away?
Uh … I’ve got to … talk to the bishop first.
They’re judging. Oh, they’re so judging.
You’re talking to the bishop? Are you in trouble?
He’s not in trouble.
I knew you could do it. I’m proud of you.
Bishop, do you have a minute?
Please be busy. Please be busy.
Sure! Come on in!
I was scared you’d think I’m a bad person—that everyone would.
Do you think you’re a bad person?
I did. But right now I feel a lot of peace.
Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love you so much. They’ll help you, and I’m here to help you too.
So? Are you in trouble?
Makes a face at her.
You are now, because I saw that.
Heavenly Father, please help me feel Thy love.
And thanks for helping me talk to the bishop.
