5. How does Bruce come to know Bobby? What aspects of their lives do they share? Why is this connection so vital to Bruce?

Bobby is the young man who first brings food to Bruce during his stay with the Motilone people. His smiling nature breaks through to Bruce during a time of depression and it's Bobby who teaches Bruce much of the language and culture of his people. As Bobby grows and the friendship between the two deepen, Bruce and Bobby become "pact brothers." Bobby is the first to accept salvation through Bruce's teachings and Bruce seems in awe of the young man's faith.

Bobby is a leader among his people but is know for his proud, warrior ways. As he learns more about Jesus, his pride lessens and that change is noted by his people. When there's a threat against the village, it's Bobby's song of Jesus in his life that calm fears and becomes legend when there are no deaths. When Bobby is challenged to a singing competition, he sings of Jesus and prompts a turning to God among his entire village.
