Lua received her first Tablet from the hand of 'Abdu'l-Baha dated January 18, 1899. She cherished the copy in the Master's own writing:

HE IS GOD!

O thou shining and spiritual gem!
Glad-tidings to thee from the Generosity of thy Lord. Be
happy on account of the Gift of thy GOD which shall soon
surround thee. And thou art confirmed in the covenant.
