But several days went by with no luck.With Christmas fast approaching，Heiss turned to Radio XENY，a radio station in Mexico，for help，from where the family assumed the note had originated.

“I knew Christmas was about to pass， so I had to do something，” Heiss said. “That's why I quickened it up.”

It took just an hour before Dayami was tracked down on the other side of the US— Mexico border， in the city of Nogales.

“They sent pictures of her holding the balloon， with her sisters and cousins，” Heiss said of XENY， adding that they asked him when he could get down there.

“My whole day has changed. I was supposed to go to work！ ” Heiss said with a laugh. “I'm lucky I have a job with some flexibility.” So the couple began to take action. Just that day， Heiss played Santa， going to a local Walmart to pick up presents for Dayami. It had little difficulty to find the gifts that the girl had written on the note.

With Christmas fast approaching， Heiss turned to Radio XENY， a radio station in Mexico， for help， from where the family assumed the note had originated.

【翻譯】_____________________________________________________________________________

【點石成金】本句中，With Christmas fast approaching是介詞短語作狀語，表示時間。a radio station in Mexico是同位語， 用來解釋Radio XENY。 而from where the family assumed the note had originated是“介詞from+關(guān)系副詞where”構(gòu)成的定語從句。
