He has never been left hungry and he trusts that The Lord has a plan for him. People ask if he gets anxious about that but he is able to say with confidence that The Lord will provide. Unfortunately, he can't afford to go back to school to do this. ![]() Is concerned he won't be able to get his teaching liscence renewed in the future because he needs to upgrade his education. He makes enough money to support his family but He is a licenced electrician, almost completed seminary and has been teaching for the last 17 years. We talked about his family - (he just became a Grandpa a month ago), the fact that only a small number of students at Cornerstone are Christians (and the privilege of the school being able to present all subjects from a Christian framework and teach the Reformed faith), and why is it so difficult for Belizeans to get jobs. I, Sara, had the opportunity to spend some time with Alfredo, the Bible, Spanish and math teacher. ![]() We have been taking time to have conversations with students and staff, getting to know themĪnd asking questions about their lives. ![]() We continue to be presented authentic belizean food that has been very tasty. We were able to visit a number of classrooms today including bible doctrine, grammar class and geometry. A few Cornerstone students and some members of the community worked alongside us today which allowed us to have some nice conversations and share some experiences together. The boys spent the majority of the day digging holes and preparing for the up coming junior track meet that Cornerstone will be hosting. The weather has been extremely nice, and we're thankful for the constant sun and frequent breeze. Rebecca especially enjoys interacting and spending time with the older students. Both in painting and getting to know the kids better.
