Misty Griffin I am so sorry I just came across this question!

Hmmmm..... Top ten, I had so little life experience until I was almost 19. I don't know that I have 10…more
I am so sorry I just came across this question!

Hmmmm..... Top ten, I had so little life experience until I was almost 19. I don't know that I have 10 but here are some I can think of.

1. Picking up the National Geographic when I was 6, that is when I knew I wanted to be a missionary like the doctors I saw saving AIDS patients.

2. When I refused to obey my step-dad and attempted to run to the police.

3. Deciding to leave the Amish.

4. Getting my GED

5. Marrying my husband

6. Starting college.


I am sure I have more but cannot think of them at the moment. So sorry for the late reply
Blessings :)
