This concept of a soul hungering is not necessarily a one time thing. Enos writes about this experience as if it is a single experience and that is possible but we need not expect that we must have a singular experience and besides that, Enos may be telling us about a single experience that was not the only time his soul hungered. As a youth my soul hungered to know for myself and I heard the voice of the Lord speak to me through the words of Alma. As a missionary in the MTC my soul hungered again because of a weakness I saw within myself and the Lord heard my cry and granted my petition. Likewise I have had other experiences of greatly feeling a need (even if the need was not an eternal imperative) and being satiated through a heavenly response.
