We got stuck in an elevator. It wasn't on my bucket list, but now that it's happened I'm going to write it down and then cross it off.
We had an appointment at the Judge Building in downtown Salt Lake City to meet with the Associate Italian Consul so we can get our Visa's to go to Italy. Pres. and Sister Dibb, who will be going to the Italy Milan Mission and seven new Italian missionaries who have only been at the MTC for four days were all there. Katy from the Church Office Building met us there with all the paperwork. We signed papers and answered questions. Everything went like clockwork--until we tried to leave.
When we got on the elevator to go back to the main floor, three men were already on the elevator. We joked and said we hoped we didn't have too much weight. Halfway between the second and first floor the elevator stopped. We forced the door open and came face to face with solid concrete. We found the emergency phone and called the operator who assured us she would get someone there immediately to help us.
It was pretty crowded on the elevator. Pres. and Sister Dibb and Katy also got on the same elevator with us. With the other three gentlemen, that made eight of us. All the young missionaries got on the other elevator.
Twenty minutes later, the elevator started to move and we were free. Unfortunately, there was no sign of the missionaries. Katy was still searching for them when we left.
No doubt the fact that we got stuck in an elevator will be all over the mission before we arrive because the missionaries will be there for two weeks before we get there.
Does anybody know any good elevator jokes?
