Ask the Mormon if they personally believe the statement in the BoM, because the Church certainly doesn’t.
Their own canon denounces the biblical view of the HS living inside a person’s heart (D&C 130:3), and declares the Father & the Son are separate people (D&C 130:22).
Be sure to share your favorite biblical verses about the Trinity so they’ll know the truth about our Lord!

Mormon 7:7 “And he hath brought to pass the redemption of the world, whereby he that is found guiltless before him at the judgment day hath it given unto him to dwell in the presence of God in his kingdom, to sing ceaseless praises with the choirs above, unto the Father, and unto the Son, and unto the Holy Ghost, which are one God, in a state of happiness which hath no end.”

Richard Hopkins put it in “Counterfeiting the Mormon Concept of God,” FARMS Review of Books (Vol. 12, No. 1, 2000, pp. 215-274, quote from p. 272):
The existence of more than one person who is designated as “God” is the foundation of the two-thousand-year-old problem classical theists have resolved through their belief in the Trinity. If this seeming inconsistency can be tolerated in the Bible, it is disingenuous to pretend that it is a contradiction when it appears in LDS scripture. It would be more appropriate to complain if this “contradiction,” a teaching that has uniquely marked Christianity, were absent from LDS scriptures.
