Numbers Game





Stomach pains about every ten minutes.
About five new mosquito bites every day.
220 volts of electricity shocking me and leaving pinches, numbness, and sharp pains up my fingers and arms.
Two tree frogs in the bathroom every night.
Crackling rooster with no sense of dawn alarming me about every hour through the night.


28 kids screaming and chanting for joy after every game in Sunday School.
36 girls that want to spend unlimited time with me.
Two bars of internet in the corner of my living room--just enough to enjoy Facebook, FaceTime, Blogger, and Netflix.
14 kids--and counting--replicating different versions of  my tattoo on their arm.
66 kids I get to interview and spend time with.
Two girls I get to teach extensive English to and practice jewelry-making with.


One Davis-Lar Orphanage.
One Julia Jasmin Navarro.


One Big God.
