I have worked as a missionary for 30 years. My husband and our 2 young boys also lived overseas in the early 80's. Being a missionary you learn to listen to people, empathize with them and try to help where you can. Before I worked as a missionary, I was a caregiver with a hospital in Rockledge, FL. I enjoyed getting to know the patients I had, listening to their life stories and learning from them. I'm 63 so I'm not a young thing anymore but I'm healthy and am looking for a change from my previous work. I've always enjoyed older people! I'm so thankful the for the life God has blessed me with and the things that He has allowed me to accomplish. Especially traveling the world and meeting so many people from different cultures and learning so much about each culture.
