After a session at the temple, Elder Koelliker, the Africa Southeast Area President, talked to the missionaries.

Elder Koelliker said there are 8,000 people in the Sudan waiting for and wanting baptism. We do not have the priesthood leadership to baptize them right now. He said there are about 2,500 in Burundi that have organized themselves, hold meetings, and have a sign out in front of where they meet that says, "Visitor's Welcome." They are ready for baptism as well, but again there is not the infrastructure to make it happen yet. He said there are 1,000 in Angola ready to be baptized. Africa could explode if we had enough leadership to handle it all. He told the missionaries to find Priesthood so that we can expand the Church in an organized way.
