The Aucas had no contact with anyone except their own and had killed anyone who neared. They often murdered members of their own tribe, to the point that the average Auca man didn’t live past age 30. As a joke, one Auca man killed a mother and her children. Mothers were known to strangle their own children; and boys as young as the age of six were taken to murder nearby villages. But the missionaries wanted to reach these people, share the Gospel and eventually even establish churches! So, in January 1956, Jim Elliot and a group of four other men built a camp near the Auca village. Only a few days into the mission, the men awoke to an attack.

Nate Saint, a missionary pilot, came up with a way to lower a bucket filled with gifts to people on the ground while flying above them. He thought this would be a perfect way to win the trust of the Aucas without putting anyone in danger. They began to drop gifts to the Aucas. They also used a loudspeaker to say friendly Auca phrases. After many months, the Aucas even sent a gift back up in the bucket to the plane. One day while flying above Auca territory, Nate Saint saw a beach that looked long enough to land his plane on. He planned to land there and the other missionaries would build a tree house to stay safe in until contact could be made with the Auca. The

During my junior year, all high school students of the Coachella Valley were given the opportunity to audition for the All Coachella Valley Honor Band, with a guest conductor H. Robert Reynolds. This was a significant educational opportunity I took advantage of. The audition consisted of a couple of scales, and excerpts from the music that was going to be performed on the day of the concert. When the day came I sat in front of the judge with my music and clarinet, where my nerves began to rise. Before I began to play my heart began to pound along with my hands beginning to sweat.

The two males in front seemed to have Warrior jobs as they struggled to hold the line with a mix of swinging their swords and shouting at the goblins to give them pause in charging them en masse. The man behind them seemed more collected as he shot arrows at those who got too close to the line. Judging by the corpses littering the ground in front with arrows jutting out of them, he was more than a good shot and probably the reason the line held in the first place. Unfortunately his quiver seemed almost empty and the deadlock would soon break. The last two were huddled behind him at the base of the hill, I could only make out their heads but it seemed it was a girl bandaging the arm of another boy. If I don’t step in soon none of them would probably make it.
