I might consider it if I could serve in isolation in a non-office environment

or as leadership support in a 3rd world environment. Perhaps a Family History library somewhere would be OK. I’ve heard too many stories though of bad experiences of couples working in a mission office or with/for other missionary couples.

Actually if my wife could pick up Spanish, I want to go to the middle of nowhere in Chile, as service/proselyting missionaries.

Depends on what is meant by "mission".

I don’t have nightmares, I just don’t want to go on a mission again.

We loved the one we have served and plan to do more when retired and if health

This is key IMO, taking control of your assignment rather than “leaving it up

I loved my mission as a younger Elder. My wife and I have been on two missions

Here's how you can take control over where you serve and how...

Question about Senior Missions?

Depends on the needs of the service position. Many are basically "day jobs."

Many people go foreign with only one of the couple speaking the local language!

Pass on FT proselyting. There are a lot of service missions I'd be cool with.

I would, but right now my wife wouldn't want to.

Pure service maybe. Proselyting no chance.

We plan on giving by traveling to areas in need and supporting those economies

I've been told I have two options. 1. Mission.. 2 Divorce... a mission is much less expensive so I'll go.....

Sure. There are enough humanitarian, service, temple, and other things I feel so could contribute to in a meaningful way

maybe less than 18 months, but a mission with mrs jag would be fun
