“Words do matter. They lodge in our cells and in our souls. Dr. Maya Angelou, poet laureate, even believes words lodge in the walls of our homes. If words lodge in the cells—souls—and walls, we need words—and tones that accompany those words—which build and maintain the temples of our bodies and the temples of our homes. Elder Jeffrey R. Holland spoke of a hopeful, encouraging, peaceful word in October 1996 general conference. Do you remember that word? It was repentance. He said: ‘The very beauty of the word repentance is the promise of escaping old problems and old habits and old sorrows and old sins. It is among the most hopeful and encouraging—and yes, most peaceful—words in the gospel vocabulary’” – Wendy Watson Nelson
