Thanks for your question. When Joseph Smith went into the grove of trees to pray, He saw God the Father and God the Son (Jesus Christ) as two separate beings which they are I also believe that the Holy Ghost was present as the third member of the Godhead (otherwise Joseph wouldn't have been able to have seen the Father and the Son and abided their presence. You must understand that the doctrine of the Trinity which is there is one God but three manifestations,in the Persons of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost was a teaching of the Apostacy. The Restored Church of Jesus Christ has alway believed in the separation of the Godhead since Joseph walked out of the grove in the spring of 1820.
