Our first performance was at a village called Lawa-Lawa Luo in the Lolomatua district in the central highlands. Because of the problem with the journey by plane,we got there at about 8.30pm, almost three hours late, to find about 300 people waiting for us in the local church.
Apart from Lawa-Lawa Luo, we also performed at Teluk Dalam and Simandaolo.
There was not enough water at Lawa-Lawa Luo for all of us, so we took a break on the way down south to take a dip in a local river.
This is the Salvation Army corps in Teluk Dalam where we stayed.
