The Thompsons stayed there for several years and later attended the Watchtower Bible School of Gilead and moved to a missionary assignment in East Africa, where they serve in the traveling work.
Suami istri Thompson tinggal di sana selama beberapa tahun dan belakangan menghadiri Sekolah Alkitab Gilead Menara Pengawal dan pindah ke tugas utusan injil di Afrika Timur, tempat mereka melayani dalam pekerjaan keliling.
