Well, you may not have heard of it, but the the official form counsels us:
When possible, limit travel in order to (1) conserve Church resources, (2) conserve the amount of time required of stake and ward leaders, and (3) avoid unnecessary exposure to accidents. Where available and where circumstances allow, use methods other than travel to conduct Church business (for example, telephone calls, videotaped presentations, and fewer meetings).
And then the exact quote in question is.
5. Travel by auxiliary leaders is discouraged but, if approved, may be reimbursed from the stake’s budget allowance. Do not use this form.
Draw your own conclusions.
