No, no no! It's not "sayonara" (goodbye), it's "mata ne" (see you again)! Matt Gaston has been an amazing blessing in the lives of many people in Okinawa. He came here as a Bible college student in late January, but is leaving as a missionary to Calvary Chapel Iwakuni. Matt is a skilled guitar player, singer, film maker, and even Japanese speaker! He was probably the student who spoke the most Japanese outside of class, among my guy and gals I taught this semester. It was such a blessing to know him closely, and I know we will be in each other's prayers. We will likely even visit each other, Lord willing!
