Four days to Confirmation and five days to Bicol! And we haven't started packing. The youths are still busy with the two-day Youth Conference, while the catechists are busy running here and there tying up the loose ends such as safety, emergenecy preparedness, insurance, last minute fund raising, and every imaginable administrative detail. Perhaps we'll get our packing underway by Friday to Saturday. We'll, we'd better!
We are sure that our friends over there in Guinobatan are also frantically preparing for our arrival, inclyding the youths from BUCAF and Republic, as well as Prof Pavilando and her staff, Ms Herrera, and Fr Dave Ramoso. Well, just a few more days and we will clasp each others' hands!
And while we're in the proecess of preparation, a nice thought just came into my mind. An ambassador is someone who repsesents something to others. For example, we have ambassadors from one country to another. The ambassadors represent their country and the other country expects the ambassador to act for and make decisions for their home country.
And so too we are to be ambassadors of Jesus Christ! We are to represent Jesus to others, especially our peers. We are ambassadors of Christ to each other!
And while we are in this countdown, let us thank the Lord for inviting us to be His ambassador. In this Mission trip and as always, give us the strength to represent you faithfully!!!
