WE'VE ARRIVED! After 26 hours of traveling, we arrived here in Johannesburg. Elder and Sister Koelliker surprisingly greeted us at the airport. It was so nice to see such great friends. It was a long couple of flights and we’re incredibly tired but we are more than excited to be here in South Africa. My mom and I have accomplished our goal to reach all 7 continents on one passport. Tomorrow we’re off to a game preserve…we’ll keep in touch. - Levi

Levi & Family & Friends! We're so happy for you. Enjoy the game preserve. You are amazing! We look forward to hearing more...
Hi Levi!
Just wanted to let you know we are thinking of you. We look forward to hearing about your adventures. Remember, don't pet the lions!
We love you and your wonderful family!

Yippee! You're in South Africa! This news has absolutely made my day! I'll be checking on you daily. My prayers and thoughts are with you. While I was in France, Zach wrote me a letter and at the end he said "enjoy it while it lasts, remember, you'll be home soon." I think that's fitting today! Salt Lake will be waiting, so make some amazing memories!
All my love,
Yvette
Hey, Levi! I can't wait to hear how the preserve was! I wish I were there with you, though. It must be fascinating. You and your mom are officially the most well-traveled people I know. I love you and I look forward to your other adventure in Africa. Give my love to your mom and dad. Love ya!

Carpe Diem!!! We hope you have the most wonderful experience, Levi. Thank you for sharing this incredible time with Gavin. Make him your "servant" like he waits on me!!! We love you all!!! Sharon
Just surviving that long flight was amazing enough. Enjoy your time in Africa and send back some good pictures....too bad you don't have a good photographer traveling with you. Carol Horne
Hey Levi! I have never "blogged" before so don't know if this will work....
We are soooo happy you are in South Africa!! I will let the St Luke's congregation know (you are famous there, too!)
Love, Karen O'Driscoll and the Infusion room nurses.
So glad to hear you made it there safely! We can't wait to hear about your travels. Hope you are able to enjoy every minute of it.
Much love, Kash, Darryl and Ada Sam
Congrats Levi. We are so proud of you!!! We miss you al already! Love, Aly, Ryan, and Addie:)
I'm so happy to hear you all made it there! I can't imagine how hard that flight would be, yuck.
I can't wait to see photos of your trip, i have always wanted to go to South Africa (despite my worried parents' and husband's bidding) ever since doing my "country report" on the nation in 6th grade.
i hope you're having a great time and look forward to seeing you when you all get home!
Love to you all,
abbie (bell cartersmith)
Hey Levi! I am so happy to see you made it. My thoughts have been on you much of the last few days! It does my heart good to know you are there. I hope everything went well. Awesome!!!!

Hey, Levi. This is the second time I have commented, but I guess I don't know what I am doing, because the first one didn't post. Anyhow, I was so glad for your message that you got there OK. Especially after such a looooooong trip. I am so excited for you, and hope you really enjoy your visit to Africa. I am so glad you got to reach that goal you have wanted for so long. I am looking forward to receiving all your updates, and seeing more pictures. I love you so much, and you are constantly in my thoughts and prayers. Give your Mom and Dad my love, and say hi to Gavin. Love ya, Leanne
Levi and Snarr Group,
I loved seeing your picture and am glad to view your trip through your eyes. You know how I feel about the crawling things. The airplane ride must have been brutal, considering I get claustrophbic in the back seat of a car in two minutes. Needless to say I'm not the best of travelers. Can't wait for more pictures and updates. Our prayers and love go with you all. Get some rest!!
Love you,
Tuckett
Oh my heck!!! You are in Africa!!! Loved the pic and it looks like you are ready for your African adventures.
I'll be holding down the fort at the park and thanks for letting us be there with you.
We love you Levi! Snarr's...you are the best!
XOXOXO

Levi my man,
You astound me. Your enthusiasm and determination are a genuine inspiration. We are so excited for you and your family and friends who are with you to all have this amazing and memorable trip together. I wish I could see all the animals with you.
I find myself thinking of you several times throughout the day and each time stopping to say a prayer that you will have added strength. We pray that you will feel peaceful and feel watched over. But you already knew that would happen before you left. You had the faith that is inspiring everyone around you. And so many people are checking in every day to share the excitement with you. They are all praying for you. You are living a miracle Levi. You are amazing.
Love,
Bill, Claudia, Chris, Cat, Michael and Ethan
Hey Levi,
Congrats on making it to Africa.
Your in for a real treat to see South Africa.
I have been twice. I know how horrible the flight is, LOL. I am glad you guys made it okay.
Pet a animal for me. If you get a chance listen to the hyannias at night or catch a frog for me, LOL.
Lauren
Hi Levi, Ron and Sy,
Glad you made it OK. Carl and I have been praying for all of you. Be safe and be sure to pet the big kitties for me. We love you so much and are looking forward to hearing about your big adventures.
Love,
Jan
hey I hope you have a great time. Einstein and I are livin' it up at your house! Don't worry about a thing. I can't wait to see more pics.
Congrats! to the Levi Snarr Safari party!!! We cannot express in words how happy we are that you all safely arrived. There was never a doubt in our minds that you would successfully reach this goal. Levi, you can tell me in person, upon your return, if Ron spent the first night in Africa at the Emperor Casino playing cards.
You are now at the Kambaku Safari Lodge, please tell us how you enjoyed the natural "tonic". As we think of the inspiration that you have given us, it seems so appropriate you are spending your first days in Africa in the spiritual home of the White Lion.
Thanks to all of the Levi Snarr Safari Party for sharing your experience, strenth and hope with us.
Love Dave, Ang, Luke and Gracie
Hey Levi, Sy and Ron,
We are so proud of you guys-- get some rest and enjoy your adventure!! We are so excited to see pictures when you return and hear all your great stories. Levi, we feel lucky to know you-- you are totally amazing. Take care of yourselves and see you soon. All our love, Kris & Don Bell
Hey Levi! I am so glad that you finally made it to africa! Enjoy every minute. my love to you and your family. jes
I am so proud of you Levi!! You are in so many's thoughts and prayers. When ever I hear anyone complain or whine or take anything for granite in life all I have to do is direct them to this blog to see what life is truly about!!! like in the movie second hand lions, you Levi have TRULY lived this life and know the defination and meaning of life. I can't wait to hear more of your adventures. My Mom and Dad printed off the airport picture so its in a frame in my home. All those inspiration photos and billboards along the highway should be replaced with your picture! your in our thoughts and prayers.
Levi & family.....
We are so excited you are there & safe. We cannot wait to hear about all the adventures. We have been showing everyone our LEVISTRONG bracelots. Have the time of your life & can't wait to see your passport!!!!!!
We love you,
Nathan, Leah, Eliza, Taylor(Zach), & McKay Smith
Send more pictures!!
Hi Levi, Sy and the gang!
Wow! How long have we talked about going to Africa? Now, you are really there. Because Bob and I have been to Africa, we know what a great adventure you're in for. Enjoy every minute, take lots of pictures of Levi petting the lions, and watch for all of those monkeys running across the street! Levi, you are my hero, you would give the energizer bunny a run for his money!! Love you all, Bobbie
P.S. Sy, I'll bet you can't guess what I'm doing?...you lucky dog!
Hey Snarrs! I hope you are all having fun! You are in our prayers!
My love to you all, Jessica
Yahoo! You all made it! Bring home lots of photos, leave lots of footprints.
Craigle
So do they bootleg in Africa like they do in China? Glad to hear the flight went well. Have a good trip and know we're thinking about you back here.
J.R.
Levi, fam and lets not forget Gavbo,
How’s the old king of the jungle (I don’t really think that you’re in the jungle, I just really love that saying)? It’s great to see you in the mother-land, and I hope you are all having the time of your lives. You are really missing out on some fun times here, the softball coach and I have really bonded, I haven’t messed anything up yet, mostly because it’s been raining too much to have practice. Gav, the stadium cleaning chick with all the “cold sores” says hi. Anyway, I can’t wait to hear the tales, and see the pics.
Levi, you’re amazing!
See you soon.
-Jared
Levi-
You would own the reality show Amazing Race-nobody could compete! We are so excited for you and yes..we admit jealous, that you are in Africa!
Bevi, I will never forget my first time out of the country on our Europe trip & how lost I was. If it wasn't for you and your cultered skills of knowing where you are and being able to navigate in another country I'd have been completely lost! Nobody could ask for a better friend & better example of courage & determination & follow through. I knew you would make your dream of all 7 continents come true. Amb & I can't wait for you to show us the pics and hear the stories when you get back. We love you like family,
Jessboy & Amb

Snarr's: Congratulations on a most remarkable journey! Your spirit, determination and faith are inspiring to us all. Finally, Ron will have something other than the "Tube" to teach us on Sunday morning (you now get an extra week in the rotation). Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Jim, Mike & Bill & the other HP's.
