Jason got to take Graham to the Sunday afternoon General Conference Session. It turned out to be quite the experience for Graham.

When they first arrived and were walking across Temple Square one of the people who walks around taking pictures of people for the Ensign edition of General Conference stopped Jason and Graham and took their picture.
Next they got to go to a luncheon with the presidencies and general board members of the Relief Society, Young Women and Primary. Graham was most excited that he got to drink rootbeer from a can.
On their way to the Conference Center a motorcycle cop stopped and talked to Graham and told him that after the session was over he could come back and sit on his bike.
They ended up with seats right up front.
When conference was over and Pres. Monson was leaving the stand Graham got to go stand right up front where the velvet ropes were and he waved at Pres. Monson. Pres. Monson stopped and asked Graham his name. Then he asked Graham if he was going to go on a mission to which Graham nodded in the affirmative. What makes the story even more special is that when Jason was little he had the opportunity to say hi to Pres. Monson too and he had asked Jason if he was going to serve a mission just like he asked Graham and Jason nodded his head just like Graham did.
As they were leaving conference they walked back by the police officer who remembered Graham and let him sit on his motorcycle.
I don't think it gets any better than that.

Love it! What a great experience! Elder Dallin H Oaks was at the airport in CA once and asked my boys if they were going to go on a mission. I hope they will never forget it.
That is such a special experience!
Sounds like a day Graham will always remember.
