If they're truly sorry for everything they've done wrong, then show them the blueprint of the temple — how it's designed, where the entrances and exits are, all the details of how it should look and function, and all the rules that go with it. Write it all down right in front of them so they can follow the complete design and actually live by these guidelines.
