Recent POstings No long showing on Front Page

I am using the Jolene theme and I use to have it set up that the 6 – 8 most recent posts use to show on the bootm of the home page with the image and and excerpt.

THis has stopped working… and I don’t know why…

I found a way to make a similar thing happen but it does not work nearly as well… Anyone have some help they can give.

The website is https://www.LatitudesWI.com if you would like to look…. The list of recent article on the bottom is a add on Widget

Thanks you in advance for any help you cna give.
