当蒂姆·哈芬在圣经学习中得知幼儿失踪在得克萨斯州东南部茂密的树林里，他说上帝让他去寻找那个孩子。
在美国广播公司周一“早安美国”的采访中，哈芬说他只能相信“神”的干预导致他在周六找到了3岁的孩子克里斯托弗·拉米雷斯他在休斯顿西北约50英里的格林斯郡的树林中独自生存了近四天。
“这是一个奇迹，”克里斯托弗的母亲阿拉塞利·努内斯在周一将儿子从医院接回家后的新闻发布会上说。

努内斯后来会见了哈尔芬，并感谢他找到了她的儿子。
“言语无法形容我第一次抱着他时的感受，”努内斯说，当他玩玩具车时，她把男孩抱在怀里，与他团聚。“太不可思议了。”
听到孩子失踪的消息后，哈尔芬说，他周六上午11点45分左右去了普兰特斯维尔家附近的树林。找了一会儿后，他说他听到了像孩子的呜咽声。

“我说，‘克里斯托弗是你吗?’“哈芬说。”然后他又说话了，我说，‘哇，赞美上帝。’"
哈尔芬说，克里斯托弗平静而健康。
“我不知道这是怎么回事。我只知道他被发现是安全的，”哈尔芬说。“当我抱起他时，他还在说话。他没有发抖，也没有紧张。我所期待的事情。也许他只是感觉到，“我被发现了。”"
哈尔芬说，他抱起了那个脱了衣服、全身赤裸的男孩，并拨打了911。警长的副手带努内斯去见他。
作为一名警长翻译，努内斯用西班牙语说，她抱着孩子，告诉他她爱他。
在与努内斯见面之前，哈尔芬被展示了一张小男孩与母亲团聚后的笑脸照片。

“这就是它的全部，”哈芬说。“这就是为什么每个人都在祈祷。这就是为什么上帝让我去寻找，让那个男孩和他的妈妈团聚。”
格里姆斯县治安官唐·索维尔说，哈芬在离孩子家大约五英里的地方发现了克里斯托弗，据称他在跟随邻居的狗进入树林后消失了。
这名男孩在周一下午被送回家之前，在休斯顿的德克萨斯儿童医院接受了脱水和脸部轻微抓伤的治疗。
“当他想长大的时候，他应该成为最终的陆军游骑兵、海军海豹突击队、空军。他已经通过了第一次测试，”索维尔说，他在新闻发布会上向克里斯托弗颁发了一枚荣誉初级副徽章。
克里斯托弗在周三下午1:30左右失踪，努内斯说她当时正从车里拿着杂货进家门。
一个邻居告诉警长办公室，她看到这个小男孩跟着一只狗走进了树林，警长办公室立即组织了一个搜查队。
救援队使用无人机、飞机、K-9部队和无数徒步的志愿搜索者，夜以继日地搜索树林，但没有发现孩子的踪迹。
“他们告诉我，‘我们觉得我们睡不着，因为我们知道他没有睡觉，也没有找到他，’”哈尔芬在谈到搜救志愿者和执法人员时说。
“我认为这个故事是不要放弃希望，”哈尔芬说。“即使事情看起来很暗淡，但总有明天。”
'It's a miracle,' mom says of man who found lost son in the woods
When Tim Halfin learned during Bible study about atoddler missingin the thick woods of southeast Texas, he said God told him to go search for the child.
In an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America" Monday, Halfin said he can only credit "divine" intervention for leading him on Saturday to find 3-year-oldChristopher Ramirez, who survived nearly four days alone in the woods of Grimes County, about 50 miles northwest of Houston.
"It's a miracle," Christopher's mother, Araceli Nunez, said during a news conference Monday after bringing her son home from the hospital.
Nunez later met with Halfin and thanked him for finding her son.
"Words cannot describe how I felt when I held him for the first time," Nunez said of being reunited with her boy, who she held in her arms as he played with a toy car. "It was incredible."
After hearing of the child's disappearance, Halfin said he went to the woods around 11:45 a.m. Saturday near his home in Plantersville. After searching for a while, he said he heard what sounded like a child's whimper.
"I said, 'Christopher is that you?'" Halfin said. "Then he speaks again and I'm like, 'Whoa, praise God.'"
Halfin said Christopher was calm and healthy.
"I don't know what to make of it. All I know is he was found safe," Halfin said. "When I picked him up, he was still talking. He wasn't shaking, he wasn't nervous. The things I would expect. Maybe he just sensed, 'I've been found.'"
Halfin said he picked up the boy, who had shed his clothes and was completely naked, and called 911. Sheriff's deputies took Nunez to him.
Speaking in Spanish as a sheriff's sergeant interpreted, Nunez said she held her child and told him that she loves him.
Before meeting with Nunez, Halfin was shown a photo of the smiling little boy after he was reunited with his mother.
"That's what it's all about right there," Halfin said. "That's why everybody was praying. That's why God laid it on my heart to go look, to reunite that boy with his mom."
Grimes County Sheriff Don Sowell said Halfin found Christopher about five miles from the child's home, where he vanished after purportedly following a neighbor's dog into the woods.
The boy was treated for dehydration and minor scratches on his face at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston before being sent home Monday afternoon.
"He ought to be the ultimate Army Ranger, Navy SEAL, Air Force when he wants to grow up. He's already passed the first test," said Sowell, who during the news conference presented Christopher with an honorary junior deputy badge.
Christopher vanished around 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday in the two minutes Nunez said she was carrying groceries into her house from her car.

The Sheriff's Office immediately organized a search party after a neighbor told them she saw the little boy follow a dog into the woods.
Using drones, aircraft, K-9 units and numerous volunteer searchers on foot, the rescue party combed the woods night and day, but turned up no sign of the child.
"They told me, 'We didn't feel like we could sleep because we knew he wasn't sleeping and he wasn't found,'" Halfin said of search-and-rescue volunteers and law enforcement officers.
"I think the story is do not give up hope," Halfin said. "Even though things look bleak, there's always tomorrow."
