There isn't anything that I can compare this hamburger stand with in Canada. It is completely mobile and sets up and tears down every night. It is famous in that there is always a line up, but you won't find it advertized anywhere that I am aware of. It is a word of mouth kind of famous. And I guess, that is really the best kind of famous. The owners are believers and play Christian music over their two speakers. The meat is absolutely fresh, the fries are to die for, and the burgers, seriously, are the best I have ever had. And I have eaten a lot of burgers!
All told, it took two cars and a taxi to get us there. Fourteen people, three families, and a handsome young novio from Puebla. The Servin family (our pastor), the Harers, and Kim and I met on this magical corner to renew fellowship and just to celebrate friendship and the love of Christ.
The ambiance is really incredible. You just feel like you are somewhere ethereal. It is dreamlike, yet sublimely real. You don't want to leave. But you can only eat so much and others are waiting for a table, since there are only four.
How good it is to be with brothers and sisiters in Christ, to laugh, to love, to bless, to eat good food together.
When we had eaten all the burgers we needed ( I did want another), we caravaned back to the Lidstone house for good coffee, fresh from the market, pie and icecream and chocolate chip cookies. The Servins have been such a help to many missionary families, including Kim and me.
That night, both the Harer family and the Lidstones got to hang out with some wonderful people, some of our favourite people.
Just imagine when we all gather around the throne together, from every tongue and tribe and nation. We can at least dream about it. It will be unlike any moment, magical or not, that we have ever experienced. We won't want it to end, and it won't. Even so, come Lord Jesus.
