His service is wrapping up now and since his blog has given us in the US a direct link to South Africa, I thought I would blog about how much his words and his service have meant to us.  Jesse has been in Mthatha since June of 2007 and has, I’m sure, experienced some incredible victories and some failures along the way. His blog is wonderfully written, and if you haven’t seen it yet, it’s time to check it out. http://mthathamission.blogspot.com/
