Today we arrived in Hazlet, New Jersey. We settled in and worked on our video that should be finished tomorrow.
We were in the lobby and decided to work on the video in room. So, we all started packing into the elevator. We were going to take two trips, but Pastor Shaun and nearly everyone else thought that it would be fun to fit all twelve of us inside the elevator at once. The weight limit was 2000 pounds, and we only weighed a 1887 pounds! We all joked about how awful it would be if we got stuck..
The door closed and a few seconds later we realized that the elevator wasn't moving. Pastor Shaun tried pushing the "open door" button, but nothing happened. We all began to laugh nervously as we realized that we were stuck. We began to freak out a little bit as about a minute went by. It was hot and extremely stuffy in the elevator. This created a nightmare for us, and for those who are claustrophobic, it created a horror story.
At that point, Danny prayed and asked for comfort. It calmed me down. The power of prayer never ceases to amaze me! Soon after that, the door opened and we were released from the sauna we had created. I'm so thankful that we were not trapped for a longer amount of time!
Tomorrow, we will officially begin our ministry at Bridgefest (although, we did minister and use "the game" in Baltimore, which was amazing!!). Please continue to pray for the team.

is it some sort of a sign?
