Latter-day Saints/God

Question
Does God exist in a physical body? A body of flesh and bone? Did God start with a mortal body (like mine) and develop into being God (as he is now)?
I have just recently started reading the Book of Mormon after living a life as a Lutheran
We are taught that we are created in his image, in a body of flesh and blood. We know that the exaltation process needs to take place for us to ever have a chance to be perfected like him.
For the scriptural reference try Ether 3:14, last half of 15 and 16. (King James Version)
Also, any missionaries you might run into will be more than happy to answer more questions, and they would also be more readily available.
Thanks for choosing me for your question, I hope this helps answer your question. Sorry for the delay, College has been hectic this week.

Expertise
I cannot answer whether or not to divorce someone. I cannot tell you explicitly what to do in any said situation (each person has their own free agency to make their own choice, I only advise). I cannot replace a visit to the bishop. I will look at the situation as unbiasly as possible. I can answer word of wisdom, scripture reference, clergy, organizational, social aspects, easter versus christmas, and semi-taboo subjects (eg. birth control).
Experience
I grew up in the church and continue participating fully in my local ward.
Organizations
Current LDS.
