A Moapa, Nevada family is grieving at the news their son Elder Zane Lamping, 19, a missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has died.
A statement released by the church said, “We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Elder Zane Lamping who collapsed Monday while exercising at the South Africa Missionary Training Center in Johannesburg. He passed away at a local hospital. The cause of his death is unknown at this time.”
Lamping had been assigned to the South Africa Johannesburg Mission and entered the missionary training center on Nov. 22.

Still StrivingNovember 30, 2018
Natasha, thank you for the well-meaning thoughts, and the prayers you offer. Neil, your concerns are useful, albeit a bit pointed. There is no doubt that you both desire to be kind and caring. Our family joins in the shared sorrow over the loss of Elder Lamping. May his family ever receive the comfort of the Spirit they so deeply need in all they are coping with, even as Elder Lamping again faithfully answers yet another call to a new realm of service.

Natasha, wouldn't it be better to diagnose the problem before prescribing? (Ever wondered why the 'natural therapy' enthusiasts suffer a credibility problem?) If a congenital heart condition is discovered, a vitamin/mineral supplement would not be the cure. Presumably unintended, the subtle suggestion that if the parents of this deceased missionary had been more 'responsible' and more informed by giving their son a (cure all) vitamin/mineral supplement, that he would still be alive is insensitive at best and irresponsible at worst. The only focus right now is compassion and prayers for the family and friends of this young missionary who has passed in his prime on the eve of his missionary service.
