Patiently enduring some things is part of our mortal education

"Dozens of times in the scriptures, the Lord commands someone to “stand still” or “be still”—and wait. Patiently enduring some things is part of our mortal education."

- By Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, "Like a Broken Vessel," General Conference, Oct 2013

See, for example, Psalm 4:4; Doctrine and Covenants 101:16.

Earthly families give us the best chance to make it back to God

"Though earthly families are far from perfect, they give God’s children the best chance to be welcomed to the world with the only love on earth that comes close to what we felt in heaven—parental love. Families are also the best way to preserve and pass on moral virtues and true principles that are most likely to lead us back to God’s presence."

- President Henry B. Eyring, First Counselor in the First Presidency, "Gathering the Family of God," General Conference, April 2017
