actually, everything has agency, in some form. when a Priesthood holder commands a house to stand up and not crumble in a hurricane, the spirit of the home hears the authority of it's Creator, and obeys.
it exists as physical matter because it has shown the ability to obey when it's Master commands, or His servants.
Of course, we, as children of God, have the greatest ability to choose...being given to the honor of being His children. how else could the elements or powers of creation obey their Creator? they hear His voice, and His commands, and they obey. Animals, plants, etc... are not required to do anything, but they do so out of obedience to the Master. coercion, even of animals and other creatures, is not a law of Heaven. willing obedience, however, is.
