Paul is referring to the churches that already existed in the surrounding regions, who have heard about the Thessalonian believers.
# they themselves
Here "themselves" is used to emphasize those people who had heard about the Thessalonian believers. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rpronouns]])
# what kind of reception we had among you
The abstract noun "reception" can be expressed as the verb "receive" or "welcome." Alternate translation: "how warmly you received us" or "how warmly you welcomed us" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
"how warmly you received us" or "how warmly you welcomed us"
# you turned to God from the idols to serve the living and true God
Here "turned to ... from" is a metaphor that means to start being loyal to one person and stop being loyal to someone else. Alternate translation: "you stopped worshiping idols and started serving the living and true God" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
"you stopped worshiping idols and started serving the living and true God"
