Where are they now?
Former Uvalde High School
Valedectorian Now Attorney in Poland
Merry Jane Chavez-Anderson is currently working in Warsaw, Poland as an attorney for the Hogan and Hartson Law Firm of Washington, D.C. Her main endeavor is writing contracts for American firms starting business projects in Poland.
In addition to her work, she is studying Polish daily for an hour with a tutor. A very difficult language that is similar to Russian, she can now move around the city easily. Most of Warsaw was destroyed during World War II; the old part of the city was reconstructed from historical photographs. The remainder was rebuilt as grey, drab, block building by the Communists during their forty year occupation of the country.
"The people are very friendly and hospitable," says Chavez-Anderson. She has traveled extensively to the shipyards in Gdansk and to the old city of
Krakow where one of the oldest universities in Europe is located as well as Prague, capital of Czechoslovakia, and to Berlin, capital again of the unified East and West Germany. She is now vacationing in southern Poland with her husband, Brian Anderson. They are visiting Oswiecim (the Auchwitz Nazi concentration camp was located here) as well as hiking in the Tatra mountains near Zakopane on the southeastern Polish border.
Chavez-Anderson, a 1980 graduate of the Uvalde High School is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geronimo "Jerry" Chavez of Uvalde. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree cum laude with a major in Latin American studies and Sociology at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and her Doctor of Jurisprudence degree from Stanford Law

Por Cecilia Nava, Director de Coro de la Iglesia "La Luz del Mundo"
Que experiencia tan hermosa es alabar a nuestro Dios; y aún más en compañía de miles de nuestros hermanos, de diferentes paises, idiomas, todos reunidos en mismo sentir para alabar y bendecir el nombre de nuestro Dios.
En dias pasados, se contempló la gloria de Dios, en aquel lugar de Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico en la Colonia La Hermosa Provincia, en donde en una magna reunion, fue celebrada la Santa Cena por nuestra iglesia.
Que alegría se siente en nuestro corazón al ver llegar los hermanos de todos los lugares como España, Ecuador, Mexico,
Los Estados Unidos, El Salvador, Filipinas, Chile, Perú, Panamá’ Israel, Canadá, Australia, y muchos mas.
La multitud de hermanos era inumerable. Rostros que ya conocíamos y nuevos también, todos juntos en harmonía.
Al estar en aquel lugar, fué para mi una dicha ir al frente de un grupo de jovenes, que a temprana edad han decidido servir a Dios y que después de unos estudios intensos, a los cuales asistimos en diversas ciudades como San Antonio, Austin, y Houston, nos unimos con todos los coros de todos los lugares, y formamos un coro de miles de voces que a una
sola voz entonábamos nuestra alabanzas. Podemos y, imaginarnos como se oirá aque coro angelical que nos reciba ei gloria cuando venga Cristo por si iglesia, a recibir a su esposí amada.
Esta ha sido y sera nuestra unic< y verdadera esperanza, y por este hacemos nuestra invitación pra todos los que deseen buscar a Dios. Nos reunimos diariamente a las 5:00 a.m., 9 a.m. y a las 6 p.m. Los domingos nuestra iglesia dominical empieza a las 10:0C a.m. y nuestro servicio a las 5:00 p.m.
