This was the BS line I've heard so many versions of. It goes along with just about every demand the morg makes on its captives.
When my stepson was on his mission our bishop made the comment that we were so lucky. Why? Because we would receive more blessings during this time than any other time in our life.
That comment put my husband over the edge. At that time his dad was dying, I had cancer, Our other kids were struggling with some serious problems.
He told the bishop that he thought his son should come home before his entire family was wiped out. If this was Gods idea of blessings he wanted out!
The bishop looked stunned, but didn't say a word. What could he say?
My husband told any member that would listen how blessed we were at the time. He would wrap it up with a comment about what a load of crap the whole mission/blessing promises are.
