Ikizu Luke has arrived!

Ikizu Luke has been printed and the books are ready! It's pretty exciting to see the Ikizu words in print in a real book instead of just on a computer screen!

However, Rukia and my sneak peeks are the only peeks that are going to take place for a while, because we can't be letting undedicated books run wild. (That was a joke.) The Ikizu Luke dedication is not until August 25, so we have to close up the boxes and sit tight for a little while yet. It is very tempting to take a few out and take a picture for you, but if we all have to wait before we get the books, you all have to wait before you get a picture of the books!

Thank you very much to those of you who prayed for us through the whole process of developing an Ikizu alphabet and writing system, learning about the language, hiring and training translators, and working on the Luke translation and checking the drafts. The fruit of your prayers is now sitting in boxes in my office, and come August 25, we'll be celebrating it!
