More awkward moments to come...

I'm a little sad that my first contribution to our blog has to be the revealing of a language faux pas. But, when you study another language there are certainly going to be moments of awkwardness along the way. Today, our friend Eduardo was discussing the name WorldVenture, the mission agency with whom we'll go to Spain this summer. In Spain, WorldVenture is called World Initiative (or something similar) because venture/adventure isn't used as commonly there because of connotations it often carries... which are often sexual. My first thought: oh crap. That's the name of our blog. Good grief.
Well...let the awkward moments roll, because we're diving in anyways.
That said, we'll still change the name of our blog :)
