“Prophets have always taught by repetition; it is a law of learning. You will hear repetition in themes and doctrines in general conference. Let me reassure you: this is not due to a lack of creativity or imagination. We continue to hear messages on similar issues because the Lord is teaching and impressing upon our minds and hearts certain foundational principles of great eternal importance that must be understood and acted upon before we can move on to other things. A wise builder first lays the foundation before erecting the walls and the roof…It is our responsibility to listen and then apply the messages the Lord provides for us.”
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “General Conference – No Ordinary Blessing,” Ensign, Sept 2011, 4-5.
