Mission is defined as "a special assignment given to a person or group, or a group of representatives." The word representative makes me think. What do I represent? What will we as a group represent to the people of Honduras next week? Just three days away from a flight there, and I realize that it is important to at least ponder the possible answer to that question before arriving on the island. The first, and possibly most obvious, answer that comes to mind is assistance of course. While time is limited and only so much assistance can be administered in a week, I need to consider what can be accomplished beyond the short time spent there. It is the idea of beyond that hovers around the edges of my mind the most, and I am reminded of one of the most important rules we as a group decided on in our earlier meetings: be flexible. Flexibility allows one to adapt and accept whatever is in store. With that in mind, perhaps it is best to just "be" for now, and let God reveal the "beyond" in His own time and His own way...
