In spite of past mistakes, Bud has discovered a level of internal peace that allows him to even sleep in church, though as a leader in his congregation, he dares not do it. “I am evidence that repentance and forgiveness is a part of the Gospel of Jesus Christ,” he says in humility, “and I know there’s no happiness in not living the Gospel principles.”

As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Bud knows we are not perfect, but everyone is a work in process. If you’d like to experience the joy of repentance and the forgiveness that follows, contact the missionaries. Then maybe you too can catch a snooze in Church.
