Her mother, 33-year-old Christina Langford Johnson, was killed during Monday’s attack.
Adrianna RodriguezThe miracle baby, who was found unharmed after her family was ambushed and attacked on their way to a wedding by gunmen in northern Mexico, has been reunited with her father.
Seven-month-old Faith was found buckled into her car seat hidden in a floorspace of one of the three SUVs that was gunned down in a mountainous area near the Sonora-Chihuahua border. “God is so good for sparing her life,” she wrote on Facebook. “She is a living angel and has brought hope to our family.”
Faith’s mother was traveling with her baby when she was killed. Johnson reportedly stashed her daughter on the floor of her Suburban and got out of the vehicle, waving her arms to show the gunmen she wasn’t a threat.
All three families belonged to a fundamentalist offshoot of the LDS church, and had dual U.S. and Mexican citizenship. Contributing: Rafael Carranza, Daniel Gonzalez and Anne Ryman, The Arizona Republic. Follow Adrianna Rodriguez on Twitter: @AdriannaUSAT.
