King Benjamin taught in the Book of Mormon that when we serve our neighbors, we are only serving God. Charity is described in the scriptures as “the pure love of Christ”. When we show charity towards others, we will be more willing to serve them and avoid negative feelings towards others. We will learn to respect others’ points of view and become more patient as we help them through their challenges. Moreover, like faith, this attribute leads you to act, and the only way to strengthen it is by serving others. Often, we forget that simply greeting someone we don’t know or smiling at them can brighten their day. Charity can transform your life, and the lives of those around you. When you show this love to others through service, they will learn to love you, and you will receive the same appreciation you give them back. Developing this attribute will help you become an example of the believers in everything you do. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a95bf67b1f8883ebd8b0be2/dbe42691-5992-4f55-a55f-3b7ad4a6bab2/old_testament_stories_job_5.jpeg Blog - Developing Christ-like Attributes—Personal Project - President Dieter F. Uchtdorf said, “Patience means active waiting and enduring. It means staying with something and doing all that we can—working, hoping, and exercising faith… Patience is not simply enduring; it is enduring well.” Developing patience helps you when things are difficult. As with hope, it is easy to become desperate when we don’t see a challenge or situation in our lives. However, developing this attribute helps you have an eternal perspective and trust in God’s timing. Being patient means recognizing that there will always be opposition when you are trying to fulfill a goal; nevertheless, when you do everything in your power, God will help you, in his time, complete whatever else you need to achieve that goal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a95bf67b1f8883ebd8b0be2/98d4b4d2-0fcd-4503-9ec5-24e10bcf7dce/meme_monson_courage_cheerfulness_humility+%281%29.jpeg Blog - Developing Christ-like Attributes—Personal Project - Last and one of the most important attributes I studied was humility. According to this chapter, humility means that you willingly submit yourself to the will of the Lord. This means that you recognize God’s hand in everything you do and are grateful for His blessings and help. Some people think that, humility is a sign of weakness, however it is the total opposite. When you are humble, you demonstrate that you are growing spiritually and you are obedient to God’s commandments, work hard and serve. The opposite of humility is pride. When you are prideful, you think that you achieve everything with no help from another person including God. You also put things from the world above the things of God. As a result, you become arrogant and feel that you are better to other people. It is important to understand that God wants us to be humble and put our trust in him and not our own knowledge. Acquiring knowledge is not bad, however, we must always remember that God is there to increase that knowledge and he is the one that can make it perfect. https://www.gilventw.com/blog-1-copy-1/what-is-writing-news-like-positive-and-negative-thoughts-about-my-first-experience monthly 0.5 2026-10-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a95bf67b1f8883ebd8b0be2/1791080763259-G296AUC4LVUTQELSSVCQ/unsplash-image-WYd_PkCa1BY.jpg Blog - What is Writing News like?

One of these experiences happened when she was just a little girl. She was raised in her grandmother’s house. Even though her grandmother treated her with love, she describes the experience as a hostile environment between her grandmother, aunts, and her mother. She could feel how her dad’s family treated her mother as a threat, as if “they felt that she was taking away a member of their family”. She knew it was not a healthy family environment. Because of this hostility, she learned to overcome the family friction. She built resilience by facing these challenges and problems at a young age. She focuses on solutions rather than problems. As a result, she doesn’t let problems set her down; instead, she finds the motivation to keep improving and achieving her goals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a95bf67b1f8883ebd8b0be2/a9b10be7-7c7b-46bf-bb49-92b34c406913/Familia+de+Meli.jpg News Articles - Melanie Sanchez — Getting Back Up to Not Get Stuck in Life Challenges - She also increased her resilience by participating in competitive activities. She practiced modeling until she turned 10. As a result, she has always felt attracted to caring for her physical appearance and even considered studying fashion design. As a teenager, she started practicing some sports. The sport that most marked her life was obstacle racing. She has been doing it with her parents for several years. Despite the pain she experienced in some competitions, she learned two important lessons from this sport. The first one reinforced her parents' teaching never to get stuck on a problem. She described it as never staying down when she falls. The other lesson is that life will always have obstacles. She learned to be brave enough to face those obstacles and find a way to overcome them. Some of the obstacles were very high, and she had to use ropes to climb them. Sometimes she lost the strength in her arms just as she was about to overcome an obstacle and fell. But Melanie did not stay down; she got up after that fall with the determination to overcome it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a95bf67b1f8883ebd8b0be2/eb94a448-0a47-43c8-9add-07fb51a241da/Boda.jpeg News Articles - Melanie Sanchez — Getting Back Up to Not Get Stuck in Life Challenges - During this season, she met Jared, who helped her make significant changes and learn new things. This man became her best friend and motivated her to start college. He also gave her more reasons to keep her motivation. He has been an anchor, helping her strive to do better each day. He later became her husband, as you can see in the picture on the left. Even though there were financial difficulties before getting married, she decided those difficulties would not stop her from achieving her goals. People sometimes think that life is so difficult and that they cannot get out of some challenges or problems. However, Melanie is a great example of resilience. She does not let life’s obstacles bring her down. She overcame a hostile family environment, physical obstacles, and the challenge of learning another language. As she continues to grow in life with the same mindset, she will achieve more goals. https://www.gilventw.com/news-articles/latin-communities-entrepreneurship-challenges-and-opportunities-aliens-face-to-start-a-business monthly 0.5 2026-10-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a95bf67b1f8883ebd8b0be2/e91b17b4-c509-4e7b-8c9c-5b75480800a5/pexels-alialcantara-16817332.jpg News Articles - Latin Communities Entrepreneurship – Challenges and Opportunities Aliens Face to Start a Business - Make it stand out (Photography by Ali Alcantara, Pexels.com) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a95bf67b1f8883ebd8b0be2/ef8ffebf-a8e4-4cd6-8bb1-6cf3ea9d75f7/e0078bbd-b299-4e44-8463-0d3c5a4d8957.JPG News Articles - Latin Communities Entrepreneurship – Challenges and Opportunities Aliens Face to Start a Business - In addition to the doubts about success, some of these entrepreneurs face the cultural differences that force them to adjust their style and learn new techniques to attract customers in their area. Such is the case of Camila Pereyra, an Audiovisual Communicator from Chile who works as a professional photographer in Utah. She had to adjust her photography style to suit how people in this area like it. She describes her style as natural and not trying to look like a “Hollywood actor or actress”. However, despite her profession and years of experience in her country, she had to reshape her style to make it look more cinematic. With four years working as a photographer in Utah and more than 15 years of experience in Chile, she has photographed various events, including “Quinceañera” (15-year-old parties for girls), weddings, families, and portraits, among others. For Camila, it is very important to deliver quality work that highlights people’s natural expressions and emotions. She describes her job as “going to have fun, doing what she likes to do”. Even though she had to learn a different photography style from the one she used in her own country, she has demonstrated that when you have the willingness to learn and the desire to start your business, nothing can stop you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a95bf67b1f8883ebd8b0be2/5630e3d1-ab91-467e-9866-fc3eddfce48c/IMG_1060.jpg News Articles - Latin Communities Entrepreneurship – Challenges and Opportunities Aliens Face to Start a Business - A common experience for people who want to start a business is negative criticism from family members and friends. Many people decide not to move forward with their business idea because some friends and family use negative comments to discourage them. In some situations, those friends or family members do not understand what their comments mean to those who want to create a business. However, this is a common situation that can make a person decide to stop their progress. On the other hand, those who succeed in their business usually do not pay attention to those comments and stick to their plans. Speaking about these critics, Camila said that “these critics come from your friend’s fears, and you have to take them out of your mind immediately, because if you don’t, you won’t get out of that hole (fear).” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a95bf67b1f8883ebd8b0be2/c040a083-6a5c-401c-8d63-005e18f90b62/WhatsApp+Image+2026-09-26+at+8.52.31+AM.jpeg News Articles - Latin Communities Entrepreneurship – Challenges and Opportunities Aliens Face to Start a Business - Isabel and Sergio Gualpa This couple arrived in the United States in 1995 to start from zero. Two immigrants with basically nothing, with the desire to have their own businesses. Language was one of the biggest obstacles they faced. Not knowing English was difficult, but it did not stop them from achieving their dreams. In 2002, they opened their first business, a dry-cleaning service that has operated in New York City for 26 years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a95bf67b1f8883ebd8b0be2/654cd231-5adb-4fa4-a650-ba643c3c4e7a/DSC03290.jpg News Articles - Latin Communities Entrepreneurship – Challenges and Opportunities Aliens Face to Start a Business - In some cases, many of these entrepreneurs offer free services or work for others to help them and to make their work known. However, in some cases, people seek out Latin workers because of the common belief that they work for lower prices. Even though it can be true in some cases, many of these entrepreneurs have the same preparation and experience as some citizens who offer the same service. Each Latino business owner faces diverse obstacles and challenges that can stop them or delay their business progress. However, their consistency and perseverance are what make the difference when deciding to start their business. https://www.gilventw.com/wilfry-gil-ventura-home daily 1.0 2026-10-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a95bf67b1f8883ebd8b0be2/e390cde6-0c02-4bb6-ac33-0b97a852ed0f/Gemini_Generated_Image_c1n264c1n264c1n2.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a95bf67b1f8883ebd8b0be2/c4f6c9e0-a123-4289-90b8-e24c1e8d23e6/unsplash-image-oXqn2CXC_9Q.jpg https://www.gilventw.com/about-1 daily 0.75 2026-10-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a95bf67b1f8883ebd8b0be2/e0c58aab-09e4-4362-beee-3ddc19096263/Gemini_Generated_Image_sslqa9sslqa9sslq.jpg https://www.gilventw.com/professional-profile daily 0.75 2026-10-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a95bf67b1f8883ebd8b0be2/e390cde6-0c02-4bb6-ac33-0b97a852ed0f/Gemini_Generated_Image_c1n264c1n264c1n2.jpeg https://www.gilventw.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-10-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a95bf67b1f8883ebd8b0be2/1791920336073-96NI269LFTC5S75B81AN/unsplash-image-gdqiqNv_3wQ.jpg
