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.
Thompsonid viibisid seal mitu aastat ja läksid hiljem Vahitorni Gileadi piiblikooli, misjärel nad lähetati misjonärideks Ida - Aafrikasse, kus nad praegu reisival tööl on.
