sorry to not continue in the second  email..
 
went missing is the simple past tense form  of the "go gerund."  The go 
gerund is only used for activities that we do  as hobbies i.e. go fishing, go 
swimming.  Go missing isn't a hobby.   In this use it seems like missing is used as 
a participle,not a gerund.  So  the correct auxiliary verb would be was 
missing.

It is up to us  to cultivate that seed.
There is no such thing as a stupid seed.
