Stuck in the Elevator

Well, we had a little adventure two days ago. After arriving back from VBS, Ruthie, Christine, and I decided to go to Monoprix. We got into the elevator on the first floor( which is actually the third when you count the basement and 0 floor) and started it. You know how sometimes you are tempted to jump in the elevator? Well, we did, and it worked really well. Actually the elevator stopped with about half of it in the shaft and about half still in front of the first floor door. First we tried to get the elevator to start again, but that didn't work. Then we pushed the alarm button and tried to use the alarm phone, but to no avail. Then we opened the elevator door and were able to see a little through the cracks of the floor door. The guys' room was just outside the elevator so we started shouting. They came and tried to open the door from the outside, but couldn't so they called a nun. She wasn't happy at all, but had a tool which she was able to use to open the floor door. However, she wouldn't let us get out because if the insurance people saw that someone had tampered with the elevator, they would not be happy, so she called the service people and we waited for about fourty-five minutes. It was quite hot, and there was little air, but we were fine. Finally, the service man arrived and opened the door exactly the way the nun had and we climbed out, just in time for dinner! I'm really greatful to God that he kept us safe and that the elevator stopped near the door because I'm not sure what would have happened otherwise.
