Elsie, I'll give you some very good advice: Concentrate on your own faith and leave that of others to the others. There is much to learn within your own faith...so much that you may well spend a lifetime learning it.
The LDS has it's own teachings. Its members learn those teachings. Unless you have an interest in becoming a Mormon, I don't think there's much for you there. Instead, take your Bible in hand and begin in Matthew. Read it until you have virtually committed it to memory. Then move on to the other three Gospels. Once you are so familiar with those that you immediately recognize any passage from them, you can safely move on to the rest of the New Testament.
Without a clear knowledge of the Gospels, however, you will err in your understanding of, say, Paul's epistles. You will misunderstand what he wrote. It happens all too often that new Christians fail to learn Jesus' words and turn to later writings, only to misunderstand them and come into error.
What the Mormons believe is really not your concern. Their beliefs do not affect you. When you have learned and understood the entire New Testament, then you can begin to discuss the LDS church, after learning what it believes. Until then, you are a baby Christian, still not ready for the solid food of the rest of the New Testament.
Now, since I'm an atheist, you may not think my advice is worthwile, but it's advice often given to new Christians, and to those who haven't learned the basics of their own faith.
Read the Gospels if you really want to find out what Jesus taught.
