The Mormons moved west in search of a new home, not a new phone. Phones weren't even invented yet (this was in the 1840's). The Mormons had been persecuted and kicked out of Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois, so they went further west into what was then Mexico in search of a place where they could live in peace.

The Mormons faced extreme persecution across the east and midwest, being kicked out of their homes and in some cases ordered to leave by the government. They moved west to a land that was both outside of US control (at the time) and which was sparsely populated so that they could have the freedom to practice their religion in peace.

Who brought the first Mormons to the us?

Nobody. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) was founded in the US - so the first Mormons were already in the US! :) If you are speaking of the first Mormons to move from another country to the US, rather than the first Mormons ever in the US, the answer is still nobody. The first Mormons to move from another country to the US came from Canada, and were not 'brought' by any specific person, only encouraged to move so that they could be nearer to the main body of the church.

When did the Mormons move to kirkland?

I believe you are asking about Kirtland, Ohio. There was never a large Mormon settlement in any town called "Kirkland". The main body of Mormons began to move to Kirtland in 1831 after a large conversion took place there.
