Do you believe you can repent for your nation? I know the nation would still need to turn from their wicked ways, but to you believe you can repent for your nation?

Also, another thought came to me when the pastor was preaching this past week.

We know that the angels rejoice when a sinner repents. Knowing this and I believe this shows the importance of repentance, why doesn't it say the angels rejoice when one receives the Holy Ghost?

Is repentance more important?

What are your thoughts?
