mission
The word "mission" is most commonly used as a countable noun. When referring to a personal goal, it often follows the pattern "make it one's mission to [do something]." In diplomatic and religious contexts, "mission" can refer to both the people (the group) and the physical place (the building or office). While usually formal, using "on a mission" in casual conversation can sometimes be hyperbolic, meaning someone is very determined to complete a small, everyday task.
