Traveling day






We’ve made it to Johannesburg. We’re on the last leg of our trip and don’t want it to end because it has been so much fun. Again, tomorrow we’re off to Victoria Falls and are so excited. Our plane was delayed two hours today but it didn’t disrupt any of our plans. I’m going to get some good rest tonight so I can finish this trip with a bang. We’ll send some pics even though we didn’t take any pictures today. Tomorrow is another travel day and there may not be any pictures I love you all and genuinely appreciate the many people that are interested in my experience. Thanks – Levi

Levi & All, We love looking at the updates every day and even re-reading your posts! You and Africa are an inspiration to all of us back in Zion!!! We can't wait to see all the pictures on your return. The Animals are way more photogenic than Brides, Sy!!!! Love Sara Jane & Dru

You look fantastic!! I love the picture of you by the grass hut(?) or whatever it is. You look so good! I particularly like the wall of masks. Especially 5 of the masks. Somehow, they all look familiar. Ha! I am so glad you are having so much fun! My love to you all. Can't wait to see you.

Love
Leanne

Fantastic Photos! Fantastic People!
We are wondering who is the wildest, the animals or the people?
You all look so happy and it sounds like you are. Wondering if that is diet coke in your moms cup? Love to you all.

The highlight of my day is logging into this website and having appear new photos of you - Levi - and then to read your journal entries. I don't want your trip to end either. Continue to capture every moment in your heart and mind! Lots of love to you, your family and that other guy!

Levi and company,

Okay, so my family and I are hooked on this blog, and we don't want to see it come to an end either. It looks like you guys have had an amazing time, we all especially liked the heads on the wall!!! I feel like we are living a little bit of this trip vicariously.

Our Love and Prayers,
Ken, Shawna , Carley, Allie & Kate Rasmussen

Hey guys,

I love your photos. You get an A+!!! (opps, old habits die hard). This has been such a great ride for all of us here stateside. I feel like I have been a mouse in your backpack watching your trip.

Be careful. It's a jungle out there.

Okay, so I almost just skimmed over the mask picture, but thought might as well click on it. I was pleasantly surprised to see your faces mixed in with the masks. What a fun picture! Levi, you look great and so happy. It's amazing that you all have had such a great trip. I'm so happy for you! You sure know how to have a good time. I hope that traveling went okay and that you feel rested. We love you.

Buon Giorno familia mia!! Just thought I'd remind you of another trip you took. What can I say? This has been an amazing thing to share your African adventure through this blog. I also hate to see it end, though I will be glad to see you back home again. I loved the pic of "the Faces of Africa", especially a few dear ones. Levi, I must admit I was a bit skeptical about you guys taking this trip, but it has been wonderful for you, hasn't it? You look great, and I am so glad you got to live your dream. By the way, Levi, HAPPY BIRTHDAY on Friday, October 26th. What better birthday present could there be than your African adventure, right? We are thinking of you all and are praying for you every day. Love you, Aunt Reida

Grandma says Happy Birthday to you! You are one of my favorite people in the world. I shut my eyes and think of you in the temple. It is a favorite memory. Reida has shown me all of the pictures and comments. I'm glad I could enjoy your trip along with you. Happy Birthday! Love, Grandma

Hi Levi & all -
Kathy and Addie were here with me this afternoon and we enjoyed being together and reading your blog, and looking at the latest gorgeous photos! Wow - the lions and the rhinos look amazing ... and so do you! We're trying to keep Kathy busy as she is missing her frequent visits with you SO much! Keep up the fun, and enjoy every moment of this great adventure.
Lots of love,
Toni, Art and the gang hangin' out on Yale Avenue

Hey Levi,
I have been following your blog daily. It is so good to see that you are doing well. I can't help but worry a little, then I see that I really don't need to. The pictures and stories are awesome and you look great!!! Take care, see ya when you get home!

I have to admit, I did skip over the mask picture. I just scrolled right down. Then I saw Mom's comment and thought "Huh?" So I took a closer look, and...it was an interesting feeling looking at all of your heads on the wall. Who's doing the hunting down there? Although, they were the best looking and wildest animals I've seen yet! Levi, you look like a new man. You look happy, healthy, and you have an amazing glow to you. So do the rest of you! Is it the tans? I don't think so. I think Africa has healing powers. What a blessing to be able to accomplish this goal. I never had any doubt that you would do it. You Snarrs put your mind to something and there is no stopping you! I want to be just like you when I grow up! I love you guys and hope to see you soon-ish!

Analee

P.S. Who are the good looking people in the hats?

Levi,
Awesome pictures! Brings back many great memories when I was there in RSA. I love the giraffes peeing one...I was laughing and sickened at the same time.

I never was able to see any lions when I was there...they must have been sleeping. I did see a cheetah though. I tried taking some snap shots but all you could see was the landscape...you know, cheap missionary cameras don't do Africa justice.

Keep the pictures and the stories coming....LOVIN' IT!

Regards,
Dan Smith

Come home safe. Jeanie and Carl

I just love checking the website several times a day -- seeing the pics and the comments and knowing you guys are doing well and having a fabulous time!! Isn't it amazing you can be on the other side of the world and we get to feel so close to you and your adventures? Thank you for taking the time to share. We look forward to hearing about it in person.

The Snarrs are the BEST!!!!! Can't wait to hear about Victoria. Levi, Ethan prays for you every time we bless food or have family prayer. Of course, Bill and I do, too ;-). Love, Claudia

Gentry said...

Hi Levi and Co.

Levi, you got a little schmutz on your shirt. Just kidding. You look so good. I can tell that you really needed this trip. Everyone looks so happy and it brings such a relief to me to see all the smiles. I hope that the rest of the trip is all you wanted and more. I sure hope you can do that bungee, I know you really like to do that kind of horrific thing, but hey!! What the heck, right!?!? Have a great time, Levi. We love ya!!

Sierra, Spencer, CJ and Avary

Hi Levi and the Snarr Troops! What a thrill it has been to follow you through Africa on the "trip of trips"! I feel like I have been with you -- your wonderful comments and your mother's fabulous photos bring it all to life for the Fairbanks. Thanks for taking time each day to stay in touch with all of us. We love you all.
