I found that if I add this in index.php where I want it. This will allow wordpress to output the contents of the post page while still showing the recent posts.

<?php
if ( 'page' == get_option('show_on_front') && get_option('page_for_posts') && is_home() ) : the_post();
    $page_for_posts_id = get_option('page_for_posts');
    setup_postdata(get_page($page_for_posts_id));
?>
    <div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" class="page">
        <div class="entry-content">
            <?php the_content(); ?>
            <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', '', $page_for_posts_id); ?>
        </div>
    </div>
<?php
    rewind_posts();
endif;
?>
