Why does the ward have a budget for each of the auxiliaries? This is something I've been mulling over for the last couple days and haven't come up with an answer that makes sense. Why don't we just pay for various activities out of our own pockets?
Many of us have covenanted to give everything we have to the Church. So why whould you worry about whether you get reimbursed $50 for, say, a youth activity that you paid for from your own pocket? If it's truly a worthwhile activity, you should be happy to pay for it as part of your covenant, right?
If we got rid of the budget, we would also get rid of the issues that arise when auxiliaries overspend or underspend their budget for the year. And it would save the clerks a lot of time.
