Is there any way to commit mempool transactions to blockchain?

By mining

I have thousands of transactions in mempool but not very many have been committed to the blockchain. Can anyone tell me why?

That ought to be normal, depending on what time period is involved.

Every node keeps a list of unconfirmed transactions in their mempool.
Miners take transactions from their mempool and add them to a new block that they mine. If successful, the new block, and the transactions in it are added to the blockchain.
Approximately every ten minutes, a new block is added to the blockchain. The block can contain two or three thousand transactions. So having thousands of transactions accumulating ought to be normal.
So the only way to move transactions from mempool to blockchain are to wait for them to be mined by a miner.

Other relevant questions here with potentially useful answers:

Incoming and Outgoing Node Connections
Bitcoin Core not updating to latest block
Do I have to open port 8333 for incoming connections?
